nightcraw1er.488: Just to clarify, blue dots have NEVER worked consistently or effectively at any point (nor in fact has the purple dot)! On and off over the years the dots stop completely for instance. At other times they will show, but not for all updates. Also, just to aid in this it is rarely that any changelog is provided, so checking any updates or what has updated is next to impossible, and for non-galaxy users you cannot access old installers or patches. This has been an ongoing issue for YEARS, and GOG have done nothing. The only option you have as a non galaxy user is this thread:
https://www.gog.com/forum/general/the_what_did_just_update_thread And if you want more information:
https://www.gog.com/forum/general/provide_a_full_and_complete_changelogged_download_system/page1 Basically it boils down to use the “optional” client or sling your hook.
Just to add on to this, sometimes the game-specific forums have changelogs. I can't think of an example off the top of my head where this happened, but, in theory, a changelog might be posted in a game-specific forum on here but not in the What Did Just Update thread. Obviously, it is a lot of work for those of us who don't want to use the "optional" client, but I just wanted to add on to your point.
