@gittaca I disagree: I think the changelog bridges all of those together so I only have one-stop shopping for what has changed since the last release. It means I don't have to hope that the blog post is still up / hasn't moved locations / is moribund, and it ensures that I'm not having to do some git -fu to figure out release tags.
So a bridge, but one that I find necessary to help those not intimately familiar with the project.
