Request - show full changelog for CalibreWeb upgrades

[SansGuidon]

For most app upgrades installed on my instance, the full changelog is shown in the notifications tab, but not for Calibre-Web.

Is it possible to fetch the full changelog and include it in the notification area as for other apps?

@SansGuidon The update here is an update to Calibre (and not CalibreWeb). Calibre has no change log - https://github.com/kovidgoyal/calibre/releases

I found the changelog at https://calibre-ebook.com/whats-new . However, it cannot deeplink for a specific release... Maybe worth reporting upstream

The notification links to full changelog at https://github.com/janeczku/calibre-web/releases/tag/0.6.24 which contains

@SansGuidon I see the confusion now.. The calibre-web package has two things in it that have to be constantly updated . Calibre-web, the web app. Calibre, the ebook library manager . These are separately versioned.

The 0.6.24 is the version of calibre-web. This was released a while ago - https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/3382/calibre-web-package-updates/46 (and has the changelog you want).

The recent updates are for calibre. i.e from https://github.com/kovidgoyal/calibre/ . Our changelog tool is generating incorrect links, this is the source of your confusion. I have made a task internally to rectify this.

thanks for clarifying, now I'm less confused !
