Tim, Twitter deploys dozens of code branches each week, most of which probably contains at least a few user visible changes. The changelog is difficult enough to follow internally. Externally, it would be hopeless. Notifying on each and every change isn't a tractable problem.
Although there is still room for improvement, the Platform team is committed to notifying on functionality change in the API. -John Kalucki http://twitter.com/jkalucki Services, Twitter Inc.
