Display "what's new" popup the first time a user updates to new version

Most people don't read changelogs on the Play Store, especially if their apps are set to auto-update. Some apps get around this by having a "What's new?" popup the first time a user updates, displaying a summary of changes that users are likely to find interesting.

Thoughts on us doing this? Pros: Some of our new features aren't very easy to discover, so having them all in one place might increase adoption of new features by users. Cons: Some people might find it annoying, even if it only pops up once.

How about doing it only when really needed?
In particular, not for bugfix releases.

Yeah, it should definitely be only done for major releases, if we go with this.

We already have this now, I guess?

Sorry my bad, we don't.

This is done really well in StreetComplete, it's a pop up on first use after a new release is installed, and is always available in the main menu:
