It's a bit annoying to document every single bugfix in a changelog too, though. At least I don't want to read dozens of lines like
- Fixed flickering lower-right pixel when hovering over close button with a stylus on devices with more than 300 % UI scaling applied.
- Fixed alignment issue in About dialog.
- Improved help text for Gizmo frobbing feature.
To me a changelog should prominently document changes in function and behaviour. I don't particularly care if an exception message got a typo fixed, but I do care about a new feature, if a login problem for a subset of users has been resolved or a crash under weird circumstances has been fixed.

I must be a crazy user, because I generally like reading through changelogs to see if an update is worth applying because it addresses a specific issue I am having, implements a new interesting feature I want to try, or fixes critical flaws.
Luckily, though, public bug trackers are generally a good way to find out at least the 'is my bug fixed' part without the changelog (your issue is closed as 'fixed in X.Y')
