Go to https://www.torproject.org/download/download
and click "Source code"

https://gitweb.torproject.org/tor.git?a=blob_plain;hb=HEAD;f=ReleaseNotes

https://gitweb.torproject.org/tor.git?a=blob_plain;hb=HEAD;f=ChangeLog

Further question about that.  On
https://gitweb.torproject.org/tor.git?a=blob_plain;hb=HEAD;f=ChangeLog (or
any page), change logs for some releases seem omitted?
One example:  For a good while - 2.4.17b2 was the latest of 2.4 series.  But
changes for it or *b1  aren't there (I assume was a "b1").  That's just one.

Is it just oversight or lack of time to list changes for some releases, or
am I still looking in the wrong spot?
Wrong spot; you're looking at changelogs for the Tor program itself,
but there has never been a Tor release called "2.4.17b2" -- that looks
like a TBB version number.

Thanks.  Correct.  Knew I should've waited till more awake.
BUT... same general principle. Seems harder to find links / directions, STRAIGHT to TBB changes.

This page gets you there - if you know what to click. https://gitweb.torproject.org/torbrowser.git/ The line at top of that page, "description Scripts to build the Tor Browser Bundles" - confusing for users?

Don't remember a link to TBB changes page, on any main Tor / TBB info pages. May be wrong (happens). On that page, under "Tags" have to click the TBB version, then "shortlog" or "log."

Info there is useful, but not same format as for Tor, on https://gitweb.torproject.org/tor.git?a=blob_plain;hb=HEAD;f=ChangeLog - - if that's what users are looking for. Some will have trouble finding concise change logs for TBB.

Shouldn't there be quite visible link(s) for all TBB versions changes / change logs, right on several MAIN pages - main download, main Help, etc? Here: https://www.torproject.org/download/download - has link to "source code," but none for changes. Wouldn't that be most logical place for link(s) *directly* to TBB change logs, like most software sites?

Lot of info available, but some is scattered.
