Oh, now I see. Thanks!

However all the additional changes at the "in_progress" page do relate to
the first beta. There are multiple commits from different developers.

As I see the current logic could be simplified
* always show the latest changes in version_*_*
* add a section "Post beta changes" into the inital template
* drop the "in_progress" page

In that way:
* users will get the information faster
* Boost developers would be less confused by missing data in changelog
(probably that's not a big win and affects only one developer :-) )
* users would be confused less by similar pages
