Bug Description
The downloads page <https:/
Could you please include the release notes (ie summary), the release date, the codename, and a link or unfoldy-thing for the changelog? For bonus points, include the number of bugs fixed as in <https:/
(It's true there's a link to the release but there's a lot of noise and blue text on this page and I don't think people see it.)
At the moment, at least for us, you get the series summary text which (see bug 419735) is not very useful.
It may be easy to fix this at the same time as bug 275677 and bug 419735.

Releases have a summary (which comes from the milestone associated to them) and the release notes, which I think is more interesting than the summary, but seems to usually be a few paragraphs long. I'll add the release notes right below the release's heading and if it doesn't look good we can either shorten then or use the summary.
As for the changelog, I don't think it's a good idea to include them in the page, even if folded, as it tends to be really long (about 8k just for https:/ /edge.launchpad .net/bzr/ 1.18/1. 18), which would increase the size of the +download page significantly. We also don't have a page showing just the changelog, so I'd have to link to the release's main page, where the changelog is folded at the bottom.
