Description

What happened?

Within the application self-updater dialog there is a section reserved for "Release Notes". At some point in the past, this would contain the release notes of the version it was trying to download.

Now, it shows a single line that says "Bundler released a new version: <123>" with a link to github. This is a regression.

We can just copy the release notes in as part of a build, can't we? Thanks.

Research direction

Start at the macOS application's self-updater dialog and locate the "Release Notes" section, then inspect how the build supplies release information. Done means the dialog displays the release notes for the version being downloaded instead of only the generic Bundler message and GitHub link.
