Can't the changelog become utterly long? Perhaps a popup/overlay sheet thing would be more appropriate

Won't this introduce other usability issues? :/

WRT the patch, it's fine, just remove the RowLayout and put its properties into the label

If the changelog is like a thousand lines long, you can always just close it again. And I think it would actually be easier to read as one huge box than a tiny scrollview that only shows like 5 lines at a time.

Another option would be that clicking on a package takes you to another view or overlay (like Kai suggested), but that would be more involved and you would lose the ability to quickly see the changelogs for multiple packages.

What's the point of having the "open" button if this scrollview is accepted? After all, you won't see much more if you click open and an install button and a package description.

IMHO the open button is superfluous for package updates anyway. It takes you to a view that doesn't even show you the changelogs.

Perhaps what we should do is the following:

• Get rid of the Open button
• Make clicking on the package take you to the view that the Open button shows
• Centralize all information on that page, including the package changelogs

That's a more involved change than I'm going to be able to make right now though. But I think it would be a nice improvement.

@apol Thanks! I made one more change (the text of the "Info") button; does your approval still hold?
