Jim, In the near future, we will have an SVN server for the PowerSDR source. This will allow public access to view each and every revision to all source files (along with hopefully good notes about why the changes were made). I expect that this will help significantly with what you are asking for.
On the other hand, the release notes are directed at our general customer base and there was a conscious decision made to keep them readable (to some degree) by non-developers. For this reason, very early on, we decided not to include which files changed per release note. I think SVN is the answer here. We will have to revisit what our release notes will look like after we have the SVN server as it will not help with non-developer customers.
