Yes, that possible. I'll make the changelog part of the HTML version of the manual.

Yes, I've compiled a package (see attachment) which I plan to include 
in the next release. It includes the non-minified scripts and a Makefile to 
compile them into the minified files that in turn can be compiled into doxygen.
Let me know if this meets the requirements. This approach also makes it 
relatively simple to try out newer versions of the scripts.
