I couldn't agree more. Release notes like that are informationally identical to a release note that just says "New release."

I use release notes to help me decide whether not to update to the new release. I would prefer that no release note is made at all over that kind of thing. At least that's being honest about not wanting to say what the changes were.

But what if that release really only included bug fixes and speed improvements?
What bugs were fixed? What was made faster? If I was experiencing some bugs or slowness, I would be happy to see my issue may have been addressed in the release. If it says the issue was fixed, and I still see an issue, that’s a reason to send some feedback again.
