 Replying to [comment:20 gk]:
 > Do we have a way to just show the "View Changelog" link on the release
 and alpha series where there actually is a Changelog?

 Good question. We could omit the ChangeLog.txt file from the nightly
 builds and then modify the about:tor code to check that such a file exists
 (and hide the "View Changelog" link if not). But it seems simplest to just
 check the update channel, so we revised our Torbutton patch to take that
 approach. Please test (and review) using the two torbutton patches that
 are on our bug29440-02 branch:
