Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I would like to suggest adding a summary of the recent addon updates. This would serve both as a way to keep track of what addons have been updated recently, without having to sort the entire addon list, but also would serve as a way to check the changelogs for the addons the user is interested in knowing what has changed in the most recent update.

Describe the solution you'd like
A section with a summary of the most recent addon updates would show up somewhere. Either in a section of the app say at the top or top right, either in the empty space to the left side, either in a popup (but almost noone likes popups, anyway).
In this section (see a mockup below), the recent updated addons will show up (the addons updated in the last hour), together with a changelog link for each addon.
Or the section could start minimised and would say "Recent updates log: 7 addons have been updated in the last hour. Click to expand".
I think this feature would suit both the users that auto update their addons, but also those who manually chose to update each addon.

Describe alternatives you've considered
For seeing the 'most recent addon updated', surely there's the way of sorting the addon list by "Updated at" and then figuring out the most recent ones, but this feature cannot work without dual-column sorting (I think it's expected that the user would sort by "Status" column by default so they can see at the top the addons that need to be updated. Even if the dual-column sorting would work, it would require the user to still scroll down the list of addons, finding those most recently updated ones.
For checking the changelog, in the absence of a "recent updates sumary", there's a sort of a whack-a-mole game when updating addons, of clicking the update addon and then quickly enough click on the addon name before the update completes in order to see the changelog; otherwise, if the user was not quick enough or misclicked and the update completes, the addon will go down in the addon list and likely the user has clicked on another addon.
