Feature request: Make Update info available after completion.

[Bob Harvey]

Before an update is approved there is a list of what is proposed, including the option to browse the background. This is lost after the update is completed.

I would like to suggest that this material be available for recall from the update manager pane after updates are complete. At least the most recent update, but prefereably all the previous ones.

Thanks for helping us in improving Ubuntu. Software center does have a history feature, where you can see the packages updated, sorted by update time. Did you know about this? If yes, why do you consider it is important to have this feature also in Update Manager. Update Manager currently is designed and built to be as simple as possible, focusing only on displaying available updates and updating, whereas Software Center is a more complete suite for installing, updating, removing software, browsing software, and browsing history, so I consider the update history belongs more in Software Center than in Update Manager.

I suggest adding it to Update manager since this runs automatically and the user sees if frequently. He/She has to seek out Software manager. A quick-and-dirty fix might be to reference Software manager and its facilities on the final screen of Update manager, but I did envisage the history being where people might see it.
