Thanks Salgado, I think that looks great.

There seems to be a stray comma in the headings " , from the "

I wonder if we could have a link saying "detailed changelog" that goes
to it? At least there used to be a URL that took you straight to it.

I think the "After you've downloaded ..." is a bit of a distraction,
being the first body text on the page but not normally something
people need to see. Is there a standard style that would make it look
more obviously like help or a tip?

Possibly the date should go at the end of the heading line? It looks
a bit crammed in above the files.

Both here and in the single-download page, the release notes are shown
with linebreaks in the places they occurred in the original text.
This seems a bit inconsistent with Launchpad in other places which
tends to treat text as either monospace and unwrapped, or proportional
font with wrapping. For Bazaar, the notes are regular flowed text and
the changelog is a preformatted changelog. But this is probably a
separate bug, because changing it might break people who expect it to
work this way.
