It is possible to include in user interface link to "Release notes" information for new releases?

Imho, such a feature could improve module usability. Of course, this information can be obtained via module page, but direct link from 'Available updates' could save a click and a page load ;)

Possible placement of link see in attached file.

new project_release_xmlrpc_release_node_link.patch.txt1.66 KB

sadly, we're not currently returning this data in the XML-RPC interface. so, step 1 is including a link to the release node in the answers that project.module is sending back. attached patch should do it, but needs testing (e.g. on s.d.o).

installed on s.d.o. seems to work great. i'll give a chance for a quick review from someone else before i commit and install on d.o for real, but it'll definitely happen before the 5.x-1.1 release of update_status.module, so we can work on fixing the UI in the client to display this link.

commited my patch to HEAD of project_release.module and installed it on d.o. setting this back to active so someone can work on displaying this link in the update_status.module UI.

The -dev version now contains a link to said release notes.
