Change Log and Newsletter

Hi Guys,

I have been using n8n for quite some time now. I have been also working with other product that enables automation. There are a few things that I like to suggest that may be important to help lots of existing users to keep up to date with n8n.

Product Changelog and direct download links on the n8n website. A good example is,
e.g. for changelog https://www.jenkins.io/changelog/ and download page https://www.jenkins.io/download/

We can see the benefits of these two additions directly to our site. We can track what features got added, security issue resolution, braking change, multiple streams of installing n8n.

Newsletter for the new version release, open security issues, new blog post, etc.

Having this feature will keep the community updated on what is going on with n8n.

Thanks a lot for your suggestions. Is really very helpful.

About 1. The changelog already exists and can be found here:

Additionally do we have the following only for breaking changes. It informs when action is needed and what to do exactly:

github.com

n8n-io/n8n/blob/master/packages/cli/BREAKING-CHANGES.md

# n8n Breaking Changes

This list shows all the versions which include breaking changes and how to upgrade.

## 0.104.0

### What changed?
Support for MongoDB as a database for n8n has been dropped as MongoDB had problems saving large amounts of data in a document, among other issues.

### When is action necessary?
If you have been using MongoDB as a database for n8n. Please note that this is not related to the MongoDB node.

### How to upgrade:
Before upgrading, you can [export](https://docs.n8n.io/reference/start-workflows-via-cli.html#export-workflows-and-credentials) all your credentials and workflows using the CLI.

```
n8n export:workflow --backup --output=backups/latest/
n8n export:credentials --backup --output=backups/latest/
```

Not sure about the download page to be honest. We do not really have anything to download as we do not have an executable. The only things that exist are the npm package and the docker image.

About 2. We already have a newsletter which does get send out every month and includes information about new versions and blog-posts and similar. Do I understand it correctly that you are interested in a newsletter which does get send out directly after a new version gets released?
