Download a fresh install package from downloads.joomla.org
Since it's a fresh install it means for me it's a fresh start. Post Installation messages regarding older Versions should only come when I upgrade Joomla from an older Version to a new one that is affected by that change.
Joomla is showing old postinstall Messages for Joomla 3.2 and 3.5 and I always have to dismiss the stuff. It's quite annoying to dismiss that all the time.

Then it would be a completely different page, that is not bound to changes in a specific version but like a docs page for the first steps or something like that.
If you want to submit a PR for that then go ahead - personally I dont see the need
Maybe this whole topic should be discussed first. What would be an important After Install Message. Is it something that makes an impact for me when i upgrade from a lower version? Then only After Installation Messages should be shown that affect me because of that changes. If it's a "Welcome Page" with the most important things, then we could extend it and change the layout and list all ressources (Volunteers Portal, Docs, Ressources Directory, and and and).
please folks, help me with my bad english:
install
is not equal to upgrade
nor is equal to update
please clarify
install = new
upgrade/update = change from an older version
my binary mind is now happy
....jokes apart.....
so postinstall
should be postupgrade
or i'm still too naive ?
From what i understand, the messages show what significant and important changed in a certain version. So i would agree that this a post upgrade messages. They are shown always. I leave it open to a discussion if the way it's done now is good or not. In my opinion it should show up after the ugrade only and not after each install and force the user to go somewhere and click everything away.

I dont agree. These are important messages for all installs.
