Good opportunity to say how annoying are update notes like “We are continuing to improve our application. We fixed a couple more issues to make it more stable”. Corporate style, uselessness and the fact that this update can contain some stupid redesign is disgusting.
I've reached a point where I avoid these types of updates. An update post like that either means nothing important changed or they're up to something.
A while ago I saw that style of patch notes, updated an app, and suddenly I can't use it anymore because it got limited to a maximum of 2 devices. Another time I updated an app putting a harmless "we improved the user experience" message, they put dark mode behind a paywall. This isn't counting the number of times an app got redesigned to make the user experience worse for no reason. Maybe they wanted to justify hiring 5 UI/UX interns in that quarter or something.
The patch notes look harmless, but my god, they are usually up to something.
Yeah. I do the same. That "we are making improvements" text is corporate for "we don't have anything remotely close to change management or quality assurance".
I'm done with programs that need meaningless updates like this every day. All my patience for that was used up with flash and java.

"We are constantly improving our application. Please keep updates turned on."
