Hi,

I was thinking it could be useful to show in comments when a new version is pushed by the maintainer of a package; just a line break and maybe v1 -> v2 or the git commit message or something. It would be easier to make sense of comments on many of the packages I've seen and allow us to see if comments pertain to the current version or not without losing comment history.

Cheers, Justin

This is already a feature request: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/30109 Moreover, in AUR4 you're able to see old commit messages by clicking on 'View changes'. I'm not in favour of cluttering comments with update messages, unless it's something important. Some packages have lots of updates and then one has to plough through all those update comments to see if there's something useful in there. Best, Marcel

I am agree. It could be also useful to mark comments between different versions.
