Hi K.C.
We totally agree with you. This is one of the issues we've always had with cPanel, they make many changes a day without release notes. We do not do auto update for just this reason, we do controlled updates. That doesn't tell us what is in the release, but it does allow us to communicate that we're doing an update.
When running the update, there is literally thousands lines of output that doesn't really give us enough information to identify specific changes.
Sometimes their forums will discuss specific features or problems, but not in relation to updates unless there is a fix for a specific problem.
We will do some checking to see if there may be other resources available somewhere, however, this update was critical because it resolved a security issue with phpBB and was necessary to do right away.
We do appreciate your input and rest assured we will provide as much information as we can...it's just not an easy task with cPanel.
On Plesk they do formal releases and we have a section on the forums with the release notes. When we update the shared Plesk servers, the announcement includes a link to the forums with the release information.
Thanks for you feedback!
Pat
