No source code. No change log. No process. It's been this way from the beginning.

Eventually the correct source code will be cobbled together, as might a change log. As has been pointed out, if these two items were part of the *process* then publishing the source code and a change log simultaneously with the binary wouldn't take any appreciable time whatsoever.
