fix(update-modal): show release notes when upgrading from older versions - #1803
Conversation
The What's new modal only fetched GitHub's 30 newest releases and looked for an exact tag match on the previous version. Anyone upgrading from a version outside that page got an error and a modal stuck on 'Fetching release notes...'. Fetch 100 releases, show every stable release newer than the previous version, and close the modal when the fetch fails.

The release notes' max-height: 70% never resolved because the modal content has no definite height, so the notes grew the content instead of scrolling. With #1803 showing up to 100 releases, an upgrade from an old version pushed the Done footer ~122,000px down. Let the content shrink to the modal's bounded height and have the notes fill the remaining space so they scroll.

The "What's new" modal no longer hangs for users upgrading from older versions.
It asked GitHub for the default page of 30 releases and then looked for an exact tag match on the user's previous version. If that version wasn't on the page,
getReleaseNotesAfterthrew "Could not find release with tag X". The.catchonly logged the error, so the modal stayed on "Fetching release notes..." until the user pressed Done. Today that hits anyone upgrading from 2.9.4 or older, and the cutoff moves up with every release. Nothing new in this release caused it: 2.27.0 has the same code.Changes:
?per_page=100, GitHub's maximum page size.compareSemverinsrc/utils/semver.ts) instead of slicing at an exact match. Drafts, prereleases and non-semver tags are skipped.Someone more than 100 releases behind (currently 0.14.0 or older) sees the newest 100. I didn't add pagination because 100 releases of notes is already far more than anyone will read.
