Not only that, it might also confuse results. A changlog often includes some internals which don't directly matter for the main features, e.g. an "improved contact selection" in some SMS or social network app doesn't make it a contact manager... For better search results, the Market would rather need keywords (where possible with internal thesaurus) and some more space for descriptions. And of course better search possibilities at all, like looking for something in a certain category and hiding the 325 apps from that spammer... > I'm pretty sure this is deliberate so people use it as intended - add a > description of what changed for the people that care: your current users > that don't need to find your app. Exactly. As a new user, I won't like to read the entire changelog to get an idea if the app's what I might desire. > > But what is it with 325 ?

Maybe it's some kind of internal joke, like 23 or 42... Or they just didn't quite make it to 333 (half evil ;)). I would've made it 640, because 640 should be enough for everybody, right? ;) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
