What Does ‘Bug Fixes and Improvements’ Mean?

A Seven-Kind Taxonomy of Release-Note Lines in Nine Swimming Clubs’ Booking Apps, and the Notice Period Each Kind Now Carries

A research poster from the School of Emergent Priorities sorts 1,386 release-note lines from nine swimming clubs’ booking apps into seven kinds by what changed for the member, and finds the kind that says nothing visible changed rises from 29% of lines to 61% in the fortnight before term enrolment opens. The School adopts a notice period for each kind, and treats a nothing-visible line in that fortnight as a removal, with no override.
