You can check out two versions of a particular branch, specifying different
dates, and then do a recursive diff.  Alternatively, for two adjacent
version numbers you'll often find a patch in the releases FTP directory
to turn the older version into the newer version.

In many cases you'll find that information in the ChangeLog file: look for
references to the PR number.
