There seem to be no release notes?

You are looking at the release notes for IMatch Anywhere 2019.8. There are none. Just a compatibility update.
How did you get to the RN page?

When I look at the release notes of IMatch 2019.8, I see:

I cilcked on the link in the iMatch updater, I think.

Same thing if I log into the customer portal ()and click on "Release Notes".

Can't you select IMatch 2019.8 in the "Select your product" box at the top?

There is only one release note page, for all product lines.

Shouldn't I automatically see the latest version release notes?
Tried again this morning, an now it works as expected and immediately shows the correct release notes.

The release notes page is simple: It shows the release notes of the latest released product.
If IMatch Anywhere is released after IMatch, you will see the IMA release notes. Else you see the release notes of IMatch.

I expect that users are able and willing to select the product for which they want to see the release notes in the drop-down box at the top, where it reads "Select your product".
I don't want to spend too much time I don't have in making this web site more intelligent.

Problem is, I didn't even notice there was a pulldown to select the version. I just clicked on the link "Release Notes" (from the download page of iMatch, IMA!) and got what looked to me like an empty page. That confused me.

When you open the release notes from the updater app, which URL is opened in the browser?

It should be https://www.photools.com/release-notes/?productId=356

Correct. But, I think I went to "Help", "Check for Updates". Can't remember exactly. I'll try to do the same on the other PC and see what happens.

you might have clicked the link in https://www.photools.com/community/index.php?topic=9285.0 not containing the productId. The plain https://www.photools.com/release-notes/ showed the empty IMatch Anywhere release notes at the time of writing.

You're probably right!
