FYI:
If you go to the "older releases" tab, you get the releases links.
Starting in 1.4, the changelog.md
link was added in the release description.
For all releases, the change log is part of the assets.
Consider placing pre-release highlights as a permanent entry
I am not sure what you mean exactly here. Note that now, pre-release specific documentation updates are published in https://prerelease.quarto.org/
Would adding the changelog.md links to the release table work?
Consider placing pre-release highlights as a permanent entry
As @mcanouil said, current pre-release highlights now live on https://prerelease.quarto.org (e.g. https://prerelease.quarto.org/docs/prerelease/1.6/ ). Once released, these pages move to quarto.org (e.g. for 1.5, https://quarto.org/docs/prerelease/1.5/).
Please add permanent links to the release note page
We have an open issue for this https://github.com/quarto-dev/quarto-cli/issues/5396.
We now have links to the release notes in the Older Releases table at https://quarto.org/docs/download/
In general, you'll find the release notes at https://quarto.org/docs/download/changelog/1.x/
. The current (https://quarto.org/docs/download/changelog/1.5/) and prerelease (https://quarto.org/docs/download/changelog/1.6/) versions are just aliases to the download pages - this means they are automatically up to date with the current patch version. They'll transition to frozen pages on release.

Description
If the Quarto version is either release or pre-release, the release notes are shown under the installer table on the Download page. However, there is no link to a permanent location for the release notes. So, once a new version comes out, we need to specify the changelog.md included as part of the source of this repository for a permanent page.
The ask:
Old release
The old release table only links to the top-level tag. Depending on the tag, it's either the last commit message (1 - 1.3) or the new here's the difference between a smaller version delta and a link to the full release notes (starting at 1.4)
Pre-release
Immediately proceeding the installer table, there is a link to the release highlights post that describes the top-level features for the release.
