Suggestion: Clicking on a file on the [Versions] tab in a project on the CurseForge App opens its changelog.
As a side note, the [Changelog] tab in the app is practically useless; it opens the wrong changelog half the time and doesn't even have the option of viewing older ones.

That sounds like a solid QoL improvement. Right now, having the [Changelog] tab behave inconsistently can be frustrating, especially when tracking changes across multiple versions.
Your suggestion of linking directly to the changelog from the [Versions] tab would provide a more intuitive and reliable way to access version-specific changes. It would also address the issue of incorrect changelogs showing up. tiktok without watermark
If you’re planning to submit this as feedback to CurseForge, it might be worth emphasizing how this change improves usability and reduces confusion. Do you want to refine the wording before sending it in?Here's a more detailed and polished version of your suggestion:
Feature Request: Improve Changelog Access in the CurseForge App
Currently, clicking on a file in the [Versions] tab only allows downloading or viewing file details. It would be much more intuitive if clicking on a file also opened its specific changelog. This would provide quick access to version-specific changes without needing to navigate elsewhere.
Additionally, the [Changelog] tab in the app is unreliable—it often displays the wrong changelog and lacks the ability to view older version histories. This makes it practically useless for tracking changes over time.
Suggested Improvements:
[Versions] Tab Enhancement: Clicking on a file should directly open its changelog.
Fix [Changelog] Tab Issues: Ensure it reliably displays the correct changelog and includes an option to view older changelogs.
These changes would greatly improve usability, making it easier for users to track updates and changes efficiently.
