Hi

I'm a fan of automatic updates. I think they make general use of linux much more feasible.

I do, however, also like to know what has been updated. For me that is usually just curiosity, but there are times when you might want to work out why something isn't working.

Currently, I check in the terminal by looking at the tail of /var/log/apt/history.log using the command

tail /var/log/apt/history.log | grep -e 'Upgrade\|Date'

This is a bit crude and difficult to read but is OK for me.

What would be good is a way to see a tidy list of what was updated and when. My suggestion is as an option on the Settings > OS Upgrade & Recovery panel as a "List Recent Updates" button. A formatted list of recent updates from the log file could then be shown.
