But it's a godsend for those who care about it (as you obviously do or you wouldn't put in the effort). It was only through a recent changelog entry in Emscripten that i was able to locate a truly obscure bug in the sqlite3 wasm builds (triggered by a default-value change in Emscripten's stack size). Without that hint i'd _still_ be searching for the cause of that bug (more than a month later).
