hi 暴龙战士 (@luckyandfine),
Thanks for the suggestion! This is now implemented in #5535 and will be available in the next release.
On the Software Updates page, right-clicking a package now shows a new Release notes option:
Since not every package or package manager publishes release notes, the option is only enabled when they're available for that package. Otherwise it stays greyed out.
