PMFJI here, but documenting important changes only in an APAR leaves out all of the application programmers like myself who have no access to the APAR documentation site, which is restricted to systems programmers with valid IBM logons.
Sometimes I wish they had not done away with TNL's (yeah, I know it's impractical in an age of electronic books, but at least they published more often back then). It seems that IBM has so few documentation workers that they can't be bothered to update anything until some new major release comes along. Penny wise, pound foolish, IMHO.
