Hello,

Not sure I'm missing something, but when there's a software upgrade
available (either in rpmdrake, or in the update manager), say today's
Pidgin:

        Version&#160;: 2.10.1-1.mga1
        Version actuellement install&#233;e&#160;: 2.10.0-1.1.mga1

the changelog doesn't display specifically the changes for that update:

       * dim. 11 d&#233;c. 2011 13:00:00 CET fwang &lt;fwang&gt; 2.10.1-1.mga1
        
        + Revision: 180554
        - new version 2.10.1
          fix CVE-2011-3594: UTF-8 validating incoming messages before
         passing them to glib or libpurple Fix a memory leak when
         admitting UTF-8 text with a non-UTF-8 primary encoding Fix
         crashes and memory leaks when receiving malformed voice and
         video requests 
          + dmorgan &lt;dmorgan&gt;
            - New version 2.10.0
        
        * mar. 29 mars 2011 14:00:00 CEST dams &lt;dams&gt; 2.7.11-1.mga1
        [etc.]

How am I supposed to know what changed between 2.10.0-1.1.mga1 (the
installed version) and 2.10.1-1.mga1 (the proposed upgrade)? This
happens with many/most packages, btw, not just Pidgin.

(would be useful, wouldn't it ? :-))

Thanks

Antoine.
