I prefer the detail. You could always make the first line: “bug fixes and performance improvements” with details following. Then people who don’t care can ignore the details, but people who do care can get an understanding of what the change is about.

Deep understanding of a change is really helpful when looking through history or trying to make sense of why this particular line was changed, etc.




This is about app store changelogs, not commit messages


I have never understood "it's an app store" precludes an expander or link to details.


Two reasons:

+ Customers will often have no understanding of what you're saying, but still click the link and give low reviews for it's content.

+ More stuff the the app store review team to refuse publishing an update for.


So it is more important than ever because there are no commit messages you could go through, right?
