There is no way to view the upstream ChangeLog as that varies a lot across different projects. For the changes done to a port by the maintainer, you can only view the Subversion log directly. For example, for the vim port this would be here in Trac: https://trac.macports.org/log/trunk/dports/editors/vim There is also a tool in our contrib directory which automates this process. port-whatsnew finds the date you installed a port and presents the Subversion commit log since then: https://trac.macports.org/browser/contrib/port-whatsnew/port-whatsnew (also pending ticket http://trac.macports.org/ticket/38110) > Also, the "port list someport" shows the version info only in an > incomplete way.
