Description

The changelog does not change in windows. When the pop-up window shows that an update is available, it shows a window with a changelog. This is the text that appears as the changelog on **every windows update** (at least in the last 3 updates that I took notice, including the latest):

> Recent changes:
> ---------------
> - Performance! Chats should load faster now, and writes to KBFS should be much faster, avoiding operating system timeouts in most cases.
>
> - Keybase has a new icon. We thank our departing ferret-dog mascot for his years of loyalty.
>
> - Keybase Chat has launched! You can read more about it on the Keybase blog.
>
> - Sharing before signup: Go ahead and put data in /keybase/private/you,friend@twitter/. If you have any invite codes, this will pop up a window with a link to DM them. It also works for end-to-end encryption with Reddit, Coinbase, Github, and Hacker News users.
>
> What we are currently working on:
> ---------------------------------
> - Mobile apps!

Research direction

Reproduce the update notification and changelog window on a Windows client, then identify where the displayed changelog is sourced and refreshed. Done means successive updates show their current release changes rather than the same text each time.
