## Feature request

I would love see, what is changing with Nextcloud, when I am updating the app. This could be a link to release notes, or a summary of the changes.

Currently, the update dialog is very dry and does not motivate me to update or educate me on new features.

Research direction

The issue identifies only the macOS update dialog; no file, test, or entry point is named. Start by locating that dialog and the existing update flow, then determine how release notes or a change summary could be presented. Done means the dialog shows useful information about what is changing.
