For a temporarily workaround: You can add a Gadget to a Googlecode wiki page that mimics the old 'Updates' page. You don't need to be owner, so you can have several projects in one wiki page
For an example how such 'Updates' looks like, see http://code.google.com/p/bullet/wiki/Updates Just copy and paste the following lines in a Googlecode Wiki and replace "bullet" with your project name. <wiki:gadget url="http://bulletphysics.org/~erwincoumans/com1.xml"; up_projectName="bullet" width="800" height="100"/> = Updates to All Issues (including closed/fixed issues) = <wiki:gadget url="http://bulletphysics.org/~erwincoumans/gc23.xml"; up_projectName="bullet" width="800" height="250"/> = Detailed Updates to Open Issues = <wiki:gadget url="http://bulletphysics.org/~erwincoumans/t6.xml"; up_projectName="bullet" width="800" height="250"/> Not perfect, but better than nothing. It is best to copy and modify the XML and Javascript files to tweak the output (I will not keep those files hosted long): http://bulletphysics.org/~erwincoumans/com1.xml http://bulletphysics.org/~erwincoumans/com1.js http://bulletphysics.org/~erwincoumans/gc23.xml http://bulletphysics.org/~erwincoumans/j10.js http://bulletphysics.org/~erwincoumans/t6.xml http://bulletphysics.org/~erwincoumans/s3.js They are originally from http://google-code-project-hosting-gadgets.googlecode.com/svn/build/prod/issueupdates , with some minor updates.
