When perusing the changelog for a software update, which is most aggravating?

To clarify:

I understand that software development is often long, difficult, and thankless. I especially sympathize with smaller projects where only a couple folks are working on them and documentation is low-priority. There are legit reasons for the existence of all these types of changelogs.

Except the Discord one. Cut that crap out.

@ElectricKeet I had a bit of software with a great combo bonus for that:

"See Discord" and the Discord server had been wiped of all "old discussion". Which naturally included what I was trying to find..

@Doephin Ooooh, that one burns. "Guess you had to have been there" isn't just the antithesis of documentation, it's downright insulting!

@ElectricKeet @Doephin Our documentation is an oral tradition, so we executed the historian.
