You may want to look into git.centos.org. For example, spec file diff for the latest C7 kernel update can be seen here:

Hi Akemi,
Thanks for the hint about git.centos.org. But, is there some yum/dnf utility which can show the changelog changes? If not, then I may expand one of my rpm tools to do it.

Simon
yum -q --changelog xxx.rpm
will show the changelog.

On CentOS 8 there is also
dnf check-upgrade --changelog
but I liked to have a tool which works on older distribution as well.
Therefore I've made 'pkgchangelog' which generates changelogs like the one shown below. It's available here:

Very nice! I think I'll integrate this into my daily yum job that downloads and reports any updates.
