Describe the problem

There's apparently no easy way to see what's new in a beta release or beta build.

Expected fix

There's a self-service way to find out, yay!

First, visit https://docs.flutter.dev/install/archive#beta-channel

Find the beta version number you want to know more about. Then, find the beta version number that's before that release.

Then, go to https://github.com/flutter/flutter/compare

In the drop downs, choose "tags", and put the older release into the drop-down on the left. Put the newer release in the drop down on the right.

you should then see a list of changes.

For example: https://github.com/flutter/flutter/compare/3.38.0-0.1.pre...3.38.0-0.2.pre

Additional context

No response

I would like to fix this problem.

  • [ ] I will try and fix this problem on docs.flutter.dev.

It would be good to document this , probably on the archives page and probably a link from https://docs.flutter.dev/release/release-notes so folks know it's also possible to see a list of changes in the betas, too
