Where are all the Release Notes - cannot find any between 4.8.30 & 5.0.22 so don't know what's changed since 4.9.2

I can see some cTrader desktop Release Notes here https://ctrader.com/forum/announcements/?by=new&page=1 but there appear to be gaps, so I have not been able to see what's changed since the release I have which is 4.9.
Also presumably there were significant changes between 4.9 & 5.0 but I cannot find what they are.
You can find release notes for major releases in What's New section
Ok, thanks. I note What's New from cTrader Web has Release numbers, whereas Desktop appears not to, was that deliberate, or perhaps the Web version I'm looking at is newer than my Desktop v4.9.2 and the later versions have the numbers. Do changes & enhancements to the cBot programming API of Automate / Algo appear there too, if not where?
Also, how would I see equivalent information for a version later than the one I have?
And finally, I'm confused by the different cTrader platform names, in particular cTrader Desktop vs cTrader Automate. All the version of Desktop I've used, 3.x to 4.9, have the Automate option for coding (directly or in Visual Studio), and for running, C# automated trading cBots and Backtesting & Optimization, so are these in fact the same thing?

Hi there,

Desktop and Web are developed by different teams hence each team, therefore there is no correspondence between versions and each team chooses their own presentation form

Yes in the same place
Also, how would I see equivalent information for a version later than the one I have?
You can't see information for later versions

cTrader Automate (now cTrader Algo) is just a part of cTrader Desktop. They are not different applications.
there's a hole in the bucket somewhere! I'm running 4.9.2 and was originally asking about info on the website not info embedded within the product, so…

Hi there,
As explained, you can find major update release notes in the application's Help Centre. Releases for hotfixes are posted in https://ctrader.com/forum/announcements/. Please note that not all version numbers are pushed to the end users e.g. now it is 5.0.29, the next one might be 5.0.40. Also not all updates have release notes. We publish release notes only for version that we deem necessary.
