Awesome... I can think of 4 or 5 times I have been away from my laptop but still need to update a photo for a client. Glad to see this, otherwise I would have never known it had been added!

Slightly brings up an interesting point. With native apps, I usually review release notes upon updating. Webapps get to release whenever they please to little notice of the end user (for better or worse). With releasing new webapp functionality, bug fixes, etc "continuously" I think some cool bits get overlooked...

GitHub has a pretty extensive changelog in the form of blog posts. They also put them on the github.com homepage, top right (the broadcasts).

It's true that every webapps don't do that though, and that's a real shame for the "power users".

Trello does this well, they put up a "What's new!" banner that presumably marks a cookie or localStorage so you don't see twice.

Quick summary of features and a link to a blog post or release notes.
