 Replying to [comment:8 antonela]:
 > 2. Yes! `about:changelog` is the place where we are going to list change
 log lists. We discussed with Geko the possibility of including it in some
 place of the website. I owe that ticket. But, it is not related with this
 ticket scope. Maybe, that copy needs to be updated as well, since we are
 not going to link to the website, yet. Any suggestion?

 The old about:tbupdate page links to the blog posting for the release. I
 think we can keep that for now. Since the URL is retrieved from a server
 during the update process, it will be easy to change it later if the
 website gains a nice changelog page.

 > 3. I think that we should include it always. Could we keep it?

 Yes, will do.

 > Do you need a mockup for `about:changelog`? Is that html/markdown? Do
 you want to put the data there and could I work on the style? Let me know
 what is better for you.

 I am not sure what kind of styling you have in mind, but the page is
 XHTML. Look here: https://gitweb.torproject.org/tor-
 browser.git/tree/browser/base/content/abouttbupdate?h=tor-
 browser-60.5.1esr-8.5-1  One of the current limitations is that the change
 log itself is extracted from a plain text file: the contents of the
 `id="changelog"` <div> within the `aboutTBUpdate.xhtml` file are replaced
 with the first portion of the following file:
 https://gitweb.torproject.org/builders/tor-browser-build.git/tree/projects
 /tor-browser/Bundle-Data/Docs/ChangeLog.txt

 That means it will be difficult to apply different styles to different
 parts of the list of changes.
