A sentence like "The behavior of it.X.truncate has been intentionally 
changed from ... to ... .", if I read and cognized it, would have helped 
me, in this case, to the problem and fix much more quickly.

Is it possible with svn or hg to get a list of the commits that changed 
version x to version y?

Would is not be possible to get a diff between at least the .rst 
versions of the docs for version x and version y?
