Hi
A workaround to get to the release notes of the given beta is to access them through the Feedback app once a beta is installed.

My understanding of the "Learn more" link is that it's supposed to take you to Apple's beta program website, not to the release notes for the current beta build, accessible through Feedback Assistant. Is this incorrect?
