What ways are updates announced or discussed ? I am waiting for or learning to contribute to community.

I have done regular Linux (Ubuntu) system management but the Beaglebone is a new animal.

I have used laptops and desktops running for years but the Beaglebone is an embedded system and has new
concepts to learn and discover.
I can plug things in but need to modify key files to enable or add the functionality.

I use the TechLab and GamePup capes for pocket beagle to explore this culture.
I am also using Mikroe click boards to have a simple plug in device like USB on mainline systems.

Today I did my customary update and started to see interesting changes that may have applied to my learning.

Where and or how do I find what this did for my devices if applicable ?

Is anyone else learning using pocket beagle capes from GHI or Mikroe Click boards ?

Thank Robert.
I found the Github commit comments work for my purposes as I learn how to find and read the Cloud 9 Examples.
The examples replace bone101 and are work in progress especially for the Pocket beagle Capes with Mikroe Click boards.
I have forked my own copy of the cloud9 examples after I saw them updated with apt upgrade.
They are private at my Github account to use as a journal for this NEWBIE.
