When downloading and installing updates from Android Market, you often see an update comment like

  • version 1.2.14 Bugfix on...
  • version 1.2.15 Added settings menu

and so on. How is that comment made? I couldn't see a update comment field in the market today.

Thanx for listening!

You just add the change comment at the end of your application description, optionally separated by a line of hyphens.

There's no official way of making a specific upgrade comment.

What some devs do (which may explain the examples you've seen) is to add change descriptions to android:versionName in the manifest, as that can be any string.

This is just the answer I wanted! Thanx!

Tried it - working perfectly :-)

Be careful with this method, though. Many users look to the description for update text, since that's where it is generally found. If you put updates in the version name, they won't be as noticeable - plus, that text is a smaller, gray font.
