Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:75.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/75.0

Steps to reproduce:

I installed Firefox from FlatHub

Actual results:

I got an update hours ago that didn't change the version (75).
I didn't find release notes.

Expected results:

Release notes should be provided for FlatHub package updates, even if the update doesn't change the version.
It'd be more comfortable.

I just found it uncomfortable that I got an update from FlatHub without a place to find out what changed.

It's a minor issue. Thanks.

Quick question: when did you install Firefox from Flathub? Was it days ago and you got the update today or did you install it and got the (non)-update right away?

Note to self: at least another user confirmed in https://chat.mozilla.org/#/room/#flatpaks:mozilla.org that they received the same non-update earlier today. The commit and the date are the correct ones, from our shipping release date of 7th of April.

Flathub's folks mentioned there could have been some maintenance work on Flathub side that may have potentially affected this.

I installed 75 from FlatHub days ago. I got the update today or yesterday.

Thanks.

I can confirm this too and was wondering why
flatpak remote-info --log flathub org.mozilla.firefox
still showed only one commit.

Haven't hit this since then. Intermittent so I'm closing this; Please reopen if I'm wrong.
