More readable changelogs

The changelog is quite dry, hard to get through, and difficult to know what each update means. If you're knee-deep into Linux, you'll know what all those packages updates mean. It's not all bad though, some pieces are written well, but still very brief and very much "wall of text"-like.

A more readable changelog can be made for each major update (X.XX) showcasing the highlights in a well-written document with moving pictures and human-readable explanations of what it all means. Not everything, just the highlights, the important bits. Kind of like how VScode* does it. This makes it more inviting to read through, easier to understand what has been done, and less confusing when a "sudden" change turns out to be buried in the changelogs.

Here's an example: https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_74

They do also include a "raw" changelog, but most of the time those are just so dry and tough to get through, and it mostly doesn't mean anything unless you're one of the developers.

* VScode is an full-featured editor primarly aimed at web development. I use it every day. You would be forgiven for not knowing this software at all. However, it's important not to confuse it with Visual Studio, which is an awful piece of rubbish that I prefer never to touch. VScode is one of Microsoft's actually good pieces of software, iyam. Just so you know.
