Right now as I write on my machine if I execute the following.you will see that only the vim updates have a proper release notes right on the front page. Orbit and gnome-vfs point directly to gnome.org where I havent been able to find any release note. (I looked for release notes of ORBit for like more than an hour.... then I posted the message). fileroller website hasnt even announced any such release... only the tarballs available on on gnome (boy is gentoo cutting edge :) ). gaim also doesnt provide any realease note on the web site. I suppose all these packages provide release notes in the source tarball... but thats not very convenient.. it defeats some of the purpose of the gentoo system to download the file and expand just to read the release note.
