Gatling is complaining about the version being out of date:

> Gatling 3.9.3 is available! (you’re using 3.9.2)

The “what’s new” page seems to only list major/minor versions:

> **[What's New in 3.9](https://gatling.io/docs/gatling/reference/current/whats_new/3.9/)**
>
> Gatling 3.9 release notes

I’m the kind of person who likes to know what’s changing before upgrading a dependency.

Where do I find the release notes for a specific patch version?

Hi @Shorn,

As you can see in the **What’s New** section, we only write what should have an impact on the user code.  
Release changing only the last number (`_._.XX`) does not introduce new features (or only as beta) and are really meant to be minor fixes or dependencies upgrades (mostly automated by the awesome [scala-steward](https://github.com/scala-steward-org/scala-steward) bot).

We aren’t used to publish a release note for a patch version.

As for any open source project on GitHub, you can have the detailed commits list.  
For instance, for this upgrade: [Comparing v3.9.2...v3.9.3 · gatling/gatling · GitHub](https://github.com/gatling/gatling/compare/v3.9.2...v3.9.3)

Cheers!
