I actually like it and admire the amount of work that is put into the release notes. It truly shows how much Benny is caring. I also like the grouping into different aspects of the app, so that I can, e.g., skip the OpenPGP part (which I currently don't use).
From what I observe, the restructuring only takes place when a new official beta is released. For those who are not using the alpha builds, this would be the first changelog that is shown after like a year or so. I actually took the time to go through this and learned about aspects I missed during the alpha cycle. I also think that any changes that are relevant for the alpha channel are still explicitly associated with a concrete release. IIRC, this was the case for the previous alpha. Official releases are usually accompanied by a blog post, giving a birds-eye view on the changes of the new release. Admittedly, this will be also difficult to be kept short :) But it's about time and I'm happy about the progress.
