This years chart was expected to be published in March. Thus an Aero information date of February 2nd was set and advance info with a date of March 16 was included. The publication was delayed so that the west end airspace changes could be incorporated.
It appears that the updates on the CAA website are based on the original publication date and information and the delayed chart is probably simply taken to be a revision of the March edition.
It's a pain but saves a bit of ink when doing the amendments.
As for an easy way to do the amendments;
Use the notamplot program or similar that plots lat/longs. Copy and paste the amendment list and use the notamplot to plot all the lat/longs. If any are in your area of interest then read the amendment and plot on chart.
