This is a good point.  I just checked the FireFox Release notes page to
see how they do it. 
<https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/25.0.1/releasenotes/>
Believe it or not, there currently are no listed "Known Issues" for
FireFox release 25.0.1, but if there were, they would be noted on that page.
Per your comment GnuCash could do something similar.
