[Bug 1077205] Re: update-manager should have a view that shows the changelogs together for all changes that that will be applied

Thanks for the suggestion, Steve. Specification updated.
<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareUpdates?action=diff&rev2=111&rev1=110>

** Changed in: update-manager (Ubuntu)
       Status: In Progress => Triaged

** Description changed:

  Currently if a user wants to see the details in update-manager about the
  updates that are to be applied, they have to click on each individual
  package in the list.  This is tedious and not scalable.  Particularly
  for folks tracking the devel series and doing daily testing, it would be
  useful to have a way to get a view of all the changes at once.

- This would need design work first to decide how to integrate it into the
- UI. See also bug 672236.
+ <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareUpdates#expanded>: "The contents of the
+ “Technical description” pane should depend on how many updates are
+ selected in the list above: ... If more than one, the name and version
+ (but not the description) of each selected package, each followed by a
+ spinner which is replaced by the changelog for the update once it loads
+ (or “The list of changes is not available.” if it fails to load), and
+ each separated by a horizontal rule."
