add link to release notes comparison tool

unitycoder commented 10 months ago

could be context menu or another button next to view release notes? https://alpha.release-notes.ds.unity3d.com/search?fromVersion=2023.1.16f1&toVersion=2023.1.17f1

or somehow compare your installed version to latest or next published version.. (although you can set compared version easily on that website too)

Actually, it'd be cool to even use that page for the 'Release Notes' button; they are a lot easier to parse compared to the normal one.

So I wanted to do a fork and a pull request for this but for some reason I can't push anything on the new repo; so here's an implementation of the improvement as a patch based on the latest master.... I had to zip the .diff because the site won't let me upload that type of file. :eyeroll: Here's the commit message associated with the change:

Add option in settings/general to use alpha release note sites and use it in Tools.OpenReleaseNotes. As 6000 version changelog don't appear on the alpha site always use GetUnityReleaseNotes in that case.
When using the alpha sites, we use it in comparison mode with the closest previous installed version. if none is found, use the same version as queried
Added an extra parameter in Tools.FindNearestVersion to find the nearest below rather than above. Default value is false to maintain existing behaviour in existing calls.

Cheers!
