Hi pware,
re:
Thank you for your perspective. If we look at developers at large, this is common practice, to produce release notes:
https://developer.microsoft.com/en-...rm/changelog/desktop/18204/?compareWith=17713
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/72.0.2/releasenotes/
https://vivaldi.com/blog/snapshots/desktop/update-to-chromium-80-vivaldi-browser-snapshot-1800-5/
As a paid software developer, he/she is expected to take that step as part of their conformance to their industry's practice. Even freeware updates have release notes. Its a hallmark of good quality assurance.
With Trainz, at this point users have so much sweat equity invested in their projects, and I dare say now take trepidation in walking into a familiar room, which was just rearranged, with the lights out.
I don't subscribe to the points of vagueness and non- comprehension in this arena. If the release notes were to say "An option to merge a layer is now available when the user chooses to delete a layer" the majority of us would understand what that is and where to expect it.

Speaking from direct experience, going from ... to ... is never a simple step and some of the descriptions you used in your "human readable version" are vague and may still be incomprehensible to many.
