Well he posted the same or similar bug (if you look at the backtrace) a
few times in a couple of days, thats all.  Particularly being the
weekend its unlikely anything has changed in that time.

There are changelogs but they mostly detail exactly what changed and
sometimes dont translate obviously into fixed bugs.  And these are
available in the cvs tree (and viewable through cvs.gnome.org).

Other than that, we use the bugzilla bugtracker to manage bugs really,
and you can theoretically query that to generate a list of fixed bugs
recently, although even that can often lag a bit since w'ere busy fixing
new bugs or adding new features.

We generally post a status report every week usually to
evolution-hackers (sometimes just to an internal developer list) to say
what we've worked on/fixed/added lately, cross posting it to evolution
would probably be a bit over the top, since its really developer info,
the users get the release notice which goes with each release, and
contains similar information too.
