It seems that these release notes are no longer updated. They can now/still be found at https://github.com/bitfireAT/davx5-ose/releases.

In F-Droid the 'Changelog' link for this app still links to the Discissions page though, so I guess this link should be changed to the releases page?

Which has got merged! On my phone, F-Droid now links to the releases page, saving me a few unnecessary clicks each time. Yay!

[ArnyminerZ]

Hi, yes, for now we will keep posting the changelogs in the releases page. This may change in the future. Thanks for updating the info in F-Droid
