Thanks for the warning! I spent some time today re-wording entries and adding some polish. There's only a couple of empty entries now: http://changelog.qgis.org/en/qgis/version/3.8/#allow-browsing-feature-list: Denis/Matthias, can you please fix? http://changelog.qgis.org/en/qgis/version/3.8/#postgres-provider-add-support-for-generated-identi : Jürgen can you populate this one? I also reworded entries to avoid the use of passive tense "A feature was added which allows use of...", replacing it with the more personal "WE added a feature... this allows YOU to...". I did this for a number of reasons: 1. It's more exciting to read. Our releases ARE exciting, so our changelog should reflect this. 2. It helps convey the message that we are a community of people, and that features aren't just magically appearing in the app by faceless drones. 3. It's all our hard work, we should be able to take pride and ownership of it :D One thing we could consider in future is mixing the sponsor messages in the description. eg: "In previous QGIS versions you had to ... . Now, thanks to sponsorship from ###, you can now directly import...". This would help move the sponsorship credits from the footer of entries up to the text itself, which would help us push the message that "you also can get stuff implemented by being like ### and sponsoring changes".
