link to release notes for past releases

Problem

Sometimes I want to read through all the release notes for multiple releases since sometimes I was using a old version and there's been multiple releases since then. Currently you can find that info by typing in urls manually but I see no obvious link for it on a mod's page, instead all release links link directly to the zip files instead of to a page with release info.

I currently work around this by reading commit logs in the mod's source repo, however not all mods have source repos.

Solutions

have https://content.luanti.org/packages/<user>/<mod>/releases/ list all releases and link to https://content.luanti.org/packages/<user>/<mod>/releases/<release-id>/ which has the release notes, and/or show the release notes directly on the releases page.

link to the releases page in a prominent location on the mod's info page.

My implementation suggestion is to redesign the releases page to look like GitHub's releases page

I think these variants of solution:

1. Add button "Show changelog" on package page under the release notes.
2. To the package menu on package page (where are source, issue tracker, forums, statistics...) add "changelog" where default changelog will be changelog by CDB
3. To releases page, add release notes to the new column
4. To releases page, add release notes under each release
5. as 4. and too add check field "show release notes"
