For the "What’s New" page, instead of making it a super long page that is a hassle to scroll, can you split it into smaller pages to make it easier to scroll and navigate? I suggest to group each major version into a page, for the best user experience.

I don't see any problems with the long page, and it's better for searching.

the super long page makes it very hard to drag the scrollbar and scroll.

If you find scrolling too hard, once you click on "Further details of this release", you can just use the navigation buttons in the top right where it already has a page for each major version, so not sure why you are suggesting that, since it already exists.

the point of my suggestion is to shorten that page and make it easier to scroll and navigate. if the super long page continues to build up, the issue will only get worse and worse over time.

Weirdest wish I've ever read, really, who drags scrollbar?
XYusers use input devices effiently. Use the mouse wheel or keyboard if you are unable to exactly move your mouse :P

dragging the scrollbar allows for faster and more dynamic scrolling than any other scrolling method, aside from touch screen style scrolling.

OK, but that only makes a difference on looooong pages (like 10 screens or more) and thats what you suggest to change... No offence but I'm still not getting it.

on that page, i like to drag scroll down and up, fast and dynamically, to efficiently view it. especially when i'm behind on a few updates and there is a lot more to view. right now it is a hassle because drag scroll doesn't work well on that page. and the issue will only get worse and worse over time.
