i disagree - "changes" is intended to show local changes vs the current
version:

[stephan@host:~]$ f help changes
Usage: f changes ?OPTIONS?

Report on the edit status of all files in the current checkout.
...


 (That said, i've never ever used 'changes' because i'm too used to
'status', the name CVS/SVN used for this feature.)

If you want to see changes against a specific version, it's like you said:

[stephan@host:~/cvs/fossil/fossil]$ f diff --from prev --brief
CHANGED  src/timeline.c
CHANGED  www/changes.wiki

[stephan@host:~/cvs/fossil/fossil]$ f diff --from version-1.28 --brief
CHANGED  BUILD.txt
CHANGED  COPYRIGHT-BSD2.txt
CHANGED  Makefile.Cygwin.in
CHANGED  Makefile.in
CHANGED  auto.def
CHANGED  src/add.c
...
