Description (last modified by )
Right now, the WordPress "Welcome" page/tab currently repeats nearly the same text 7 times in a row.
The pattern is basically:
Version %number% addressed %number% bugs. For more information, see %link%.
The repetition is exacerbated by there being 7 minor releases in the 4.9 major branch, but considering this page is the first thing people see after upgrading, I think this can be communicated better.
Screenshot imminent.

Good to note that to do anything meaningful with this, we should probably distinguish between updated_major and updated_minor.

I'm not super keen on adding another tab — what if we had some sort of collapsable/expandable "show changelog" that displayed this information better?
I don't think we should keep mentioning the full version number in the intro to that version, WordPress 4.9 smoothed your design workflow, not WordPress 4.9.7.

Very good point here @johnjamesjacoby. I'm going to discuss with @melchoyce as she usually leads the about page stuff and see if we can make this better :)
I personally could see minor updates having their own tab, and I don't think we should keep mentioning the full version number in the intro to that version, WordPress 4.9 smoothed your design workflow, not WordPress 4.9.7.
