Startup banner summarising what changed since you last read the release notes

After an update a startup banner counts what's new in the release notes until you read them.

What

After an update, a one-line banner at startup counts the new release-note entries by kind (feature, bug fix, bug-fix rollup, other) and links out for details. It does not appear once you have seen the notes, and it is suppressed in demo builds.

Details
  • Each note is classified by matching a regex against the entry's opening verb, so the counts follow how the notes are phrased.
  • Shown only when the recorded "last release notes seen" marker is older than the current notes.
  • Displaying it records a counted impression under startup_update_summary.
  • New in this build.
Evidence

Updated to latest.

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
