Syncthing: "What's new" after upgrade

[calmh]

It would be neat if Syncthing, when starting after an upgrade, showed the release notes as a dismissible "what's new" dialog.

Any non hacky solution would provide this info over the API so a wrapper could potentially say "Syncthing was upgraded, here's what's new", although it wouldn't have to. Possible implementations include parsing the release data from the upgrade site or bundling a changelog into the archive at build/release time.

Keeping track of the previous version and displaying all changes since would be a possible extra points feature.

Bundling a change log (just concatenation of the relevant tag messages) could be a neat thing by itself.

Probably we'd need a STFU option as well for people who just want the latest all the time and otherwise don't care.

Indeed. What comes around goes around and so on. :)
