Does the Slimjet "What's new" page contain everything?

Hi,
In this page, are the fixes and additions listed for each mini version the only changes made, or are there other things as well that aren't listed here?
If I currently have version 11.0.2, and the fixes in the following two mini version don't concern me, is there any value in me updating to 11.04, or are those the only things that I'll get?
Thank you.

11.0.4.0 change log:
- Fix bug with display of bookmark bar under Linux
- Fix bug with exit confirmation dialog. (also fixed the "Check Update" problem
11.0.3.0 change log:
- Update Korean language.
So download and install 11.0.4.0 on top of your current version...none of your settings will be affected.

Flashpeak, the developer, explained on another forum that the change-log will contain everything of significance, but will not detail every single code addition, deletion, or correction that is made.

So can there be any security fixes that I'll be missing by not updating to every new mini version?

Yes, there can be security fixes since Slimjet is based on Chrome and usually lags behind the latest Chrome version anyway.

In other words, every newer Slimjet mini version is also a newer Chrome mini version (in addition to the Slimjet exclusive fixes)?

Not sure exactly what you mean by mini version so I'll say it this way.
It is almost always true that Slimjet advances its primary version number when it wraps a new version of the Blink/Chromium engine under the Slimjet hood.
so...
all of Slimjet 9.x.x.x was Chrome 49
all of Slimjet 10.x.x.x was Chrome 50
all of Slimjet 11.x.x.x is now Chrome 51
Which means, you can likely safely skip most of the minor version updates. But I would keep an eye for significant bug fixes that might come up now and then.
