Yes and no. If you look in each repository, there's a partial changelog for
each (changelog.dd), but odds are that they're missing a number of items, and
actually, for some reason, dmd's hasn't been updated in a year, so I have no
clue how Walter puts together dmd's portion of the changelog.

Andrei recently brought up the idea of automatically generating the bug fix
list for the changelog with a query to bugzilla, which would make sure that
everything made it into the changelog (right now, it depends on the devs
making sure that they manually add it all, and stuff gets missed). I believe
that this query will list every bug that has been fixed since 2.059:

http://d.puremagic.com/issues/buglist.cgi?bug_status=RESOLVED&chfieldto=Now&chfield=bug_status&query_format=advanced&chfieldfrom=2012-04-12&resolution=FIXED

which as you can see is far from being short.
