Vincent,
I was talking about deployment-specific modifications that one can make to skin, config, etc.
On developer side I'm pretty sure your VCS is capable of tracking changes =).
Everything is in the SCM, including skin, configs, etc.
Now if you're not interested in details, we have the release notes which point out the important items. It's possible (and probable) we miss things from time to time so don't hesitate to tell us/help us improve them.
Thanks

We do all this already... :)
It's either available in our release notes or directly at the source
in our SVN repository which you can browse and query here:
http://fisheye.xwiki.org. For example you can give it a date range
(between 2 releases and it'll tell you all that have changed).
Thanks
