that's more effort than it sounds. At the moment we just push out a new
test build if we think it's worth to do so. Adding changelog items to the
wiki page is more manual effort and we prefer to point users in corresponding
tickets directly to the page.

Another reason for not explicitly mentioning changes/fixes in test builds is
that we don't want to discourage a user from installing these builds, even if
the fix he is waiting for is not explicitly listed in the changelog. Perhaps
the problem might be fixed but the relevant changelog item was forgotten or
the fix was not 'intended'.

Kind regards,

Frank
