There's the changelog, but that's probably not what you're asking.  With
a little creative googling you can most of the relevant cygwin-announce
messages in one batch:
http://www.google.com/search?q=site:cygwin.com+inurl:ml+inurl:announce+intitle:updated+intitle:cygwin+(intitle:%221.3%22+OR+intitle:%221.5%22)&num=30&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&c2coff=1&safe=off&as_qdr=all&filter=0
