Great!

Use Subversion - its point is exactly to answer such questions.

Either use the web interface:

The full revision history is at 
<http://pipmak.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/pipmak/trunk/?view=log>, 
<http://pipmak.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/pipmak?view=rev&revision=186> 
gives you a summary of what happened in revision 186, and clicking on 
the "text changed" links next to the files gives you the exact changes 
to each file.

Or in your working copy:

'svn update' to download the latest changes
'svn log -v --limit 5' to summarize the last 5 revisions (-v includes 
which files were changed)
'svn diff -r185:186' to get the exact changes

That would be welcome. One article about it is at 
<http://www.gamedev.net/reference/programming/features/linuxprogramming2/default.asp>. 
<http://www.autopackage.org/docs.html> may have useful information too. 
Also have a look at the SDL mailing list archives, the issue comes up 
there every now and then (search for posts by Gabriele Greco, he's 
experienced).
