[synaptic] changelogs

[Wolfram Kresse]

Hi.

Wow, the option to show/load the changelogs of a given packages is quite hidden. It is present only in the Main Menu under Packages, and I was already about to request showing the changelog as a new feature for synaptic...

In that case I will rephrase my request/suggestion:
- The option to load/show the changelog should also be present in the context menu (right-click). This should be a minor change.
- Or even better, put it as a separate tab in the "Properties" window. The changelog should be downloaded on-demand as soon as that tab is activated.
- As an advanced feature, an automatic latest-entry-changelog as done in the Update Manager could be included somewhere.

Reason:
As a powerful low-level package management utility, the system administrator wants to be informed about latest changes, especially for possible upgrades. 

Thanks!
Regards,
Cruncher

Worf: The Solrain fried our port positronic microaccess port, there are hull
breaches on decks 6 to 12! The inverse hispanic polaron array is not
responding. Growl!
