We’ve been kicking around some ideas internally for how we might improve the “update discourse” page.

One idea is to show the history of updates, with links to the changelogs for the deltas between them (which could be helpful understanding changes you observe after making an update)

Here are a couple others ideas / complaints that just came up:

> [@Better insights into your community with the redesigned admin dashboard](https://meta.discourse.org/t/better-insights-into-your-community-with-the-redesigned-admin-dashboard/404528/46):
>
> this page is _not_ a good replacement, claims “new version available” on each commit, and loads quite annoyingly slow (\>3 seconds):
>

What other ideas do folks have?
