Apple Releases iTunes 4.6

Has anyone discovered an official changelog somewhere?
They seem to have gotten rid of the "feature" where you would see a "compilations" artist at the top of your "All Artists" list (if you have "Show Browser" enabled). In the list of tracks by the "Compilation" artist would be all tracks that have the "Compilation" field set in the iTunes info.
This is all well and good, the problem is if you have a track by artist Foo, and only one track, which happens to be part of a compilation, then artist Foo did not used to show up in the All Artists list, because iTunes filed it under the compilations artist. I mean, if you knew you wanted to hear the track by artist Foo, and scrolled through your All Artists list to try and find Foo, it wouldn't be there. You would be forced to try and remember that it was on a compilation album and find it through there, or do a search for it.
For this reason, I did not like this "feature" at all. I gather a lot of other people also didn't like it, because it seems to have been removed in the new version. But like I said at the begining of this post, I would like to see some sort of official changelog so that I can verify this.

Seriously. How hard could it possibly be to publish a simple changelog?
