Microsoft NuGet packages release notes

Viewed 1334

Is it possible to see some sort of release notes/version history for the Microsoft NuGet packages?

As an example, we currently have version 1.0.5 of Microsoft.CodeDom.Providers.DotNetCompilerPlatform installed in our solution, and now there's an update available to version 1.0.6 (https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.CodeDom.Providers.DotNetCompilerPlatform).

This is a potentially important update as it involves the Roslyn compiler used to compile our web app. Obviously release notes should be distributed, as it helps with the following issues:

  • How should this update be prioritized (in terms of project management)
  • What should be tested after we apply this update
  • Does it solve any of the existing known issues in our app

I suspect that it involves the Roslyn project (https://github.com/dotnet/roslyn), but I'm unable to find any usable release notes there.
