FWIW I agree with you entirely, but I suspect we fit comfortably into the "approximately no one" set that I mentioned :)

Add me in that category. If the company/developer doesn't care enough to put one or two sentences about what's changing, they lose a portion of my trust. Even the annoying "bug fixes and performance enhancements" message is better than nothing. But the "don't worry about what's changing, just keep our app on autoupdate!" message is worse than nothing.

Google should lead by example, yet their "What's New" for Gmail and other apps just contains

WHAT'S NEW

• Bug fixes and performance improvements.

As someone who isn't that familiar with app store guidelines. Is it acceptable to link to the change log on the website?

Add me as well. Even just an automated list of commits would be better than nothing

I think OP's point is that it's a very small category and one HN users probably self-select for.
