This seems like roughly what I said except discounting the idea that a changelog, marketing communication, sales communication, and support are all wildly different. I don’t want some dumbass in sales or marketing who can barely add two numbers together without a calculator trying to explain that Firefox fixed several crashes in the latest release. Similarly I wouldn’t want a developer trying to psychologically manipulate you into buying something you don’t need – that’s why you hire sociopaths.

Right, like I said, no human at the helm

You dont need an llm, and it doesn’t need to be a developer. Devs are more than capable of writing down words that a human can understand, and if the project is big there will be a manager who has the context to provide a short summary.

However all of that requires company effort.

People who use defaults, what do you mean?

The obvious answer is there’s no human at the helm recording changes, it’s just the next build. You’ll take it and you’ll like it.

Audiobook shelf is great, and they have several good client apps in addition to the browser app.
