Safe current puts out a What's New change log as a txt file, that lists the accumulated changes from the last official release.

If one is a several releases behind, then we need to dig through several different text files to see all the changes. Oftimes we are only interested in changes to a few transformers.

It would be nice to have an interactive changelog that can be set to compare specific builds.
ex. all the changes from 2015.1.3.1 Build 15573 to 2016.1.1 Build 16609.

It would be even nicer if it could be filtered to show only changes to a specific format or transformer.
ex. the Bufferer

This is particularly useful when attempting to debug why a workspace has changed behaviour between versions. ie authored in version X, produces different results in version Y.

It is also helpful to determine whether to upgrade to a new release and/or identify workspaces that potentially may need to be adapted to the latest release.

That would be great. Couldn't you somehow display the versions of the transformers relatively easily? There is text for transformers for updating.
