Look at the many changes documented in the CLDR site, each version has a log
listing these changes in the bug tracker, as well as a summary report for each
version.

Yes since CLDR 1.8 (based on the Unicode 5.0 subset of the UCS, plus only 4
additional characters that were standardized soon with a minor updated of
Unicode 5) and in sync with ISO 14651:2007), there has been significant changes
that affects Persian sorting (as well as Urdu) for cases specific to languages
other than Arabic, written with the Arabic scripts, as well as on the Bidi
algorithm (before the Bidi classes were frozen).

Given that the major release 6.0 of Unicode is there now since months (as well
as the 2011 release of ISO 10646 now in its second generation) and the Unicode
DUCET has been released at the same time, and the CLDR project also integrated
it, before proposing a new extension format for easier and stable tailorings,
the ISO 14651 standard should be updated soon (there's still a few discussion
about a few cases, notably for Lao, Hindi, and variable elements).

Then look at the ICU version log which also has its own buglist and tracker.
