turnick, thank you for your suggestion.
You're right that the current interface does not give a good overview of
updates and their details. However, your proposed design would not do
that either.
You can see this even in your own screenshot, where the Changes ("Cambiamenti")
tab does not contain any useful information apart from version numbers, because
the software source you are using has no changelogs. And even with a repository
that does have changelogs, they are not written in a way that is appropriate
for end users. Compare typical changelogs from Ubuntu, Apple, and Google:
<https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/shotwell/0.10.1-0ubuntu2>
<http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1411>
<http://picasa.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=112057>
For that reason, my current specification for Update Manager
<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareUpdates> would require a click and a
drag to show the changelog. However, it's still possible that the
changelog could be shown horizontally, as shown in your mockup, rather
than vertically as it is now. I suggest taking the sketch at
<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareUpdates#expanded> and editing it to
show how it would work in the new design.
** Changed in: update-manager (Ubuntu)
