SYNOPSIS

dnf changelog [options] package

DESCRIPTION

dnf changelog displays package changelogs, which document changes, bug fixes, and security updates included in package versions. It's part of dnf-plugins-core and requires that plugin to be installed.
Changelogs are maintained by package maintainers and provide insight into what has changed between versions. This is particularly useful before upgrading to review security fixes, new features, or bug corrections. You can filter changelogs by date or count to focus on recent changes, or use --upgrades to see only what's new in available updates compared to your installed version.

PARAMETERS

--since date

Show entries after specified date
--count n
Show last n entries
--upgrades
Show only new entries for available upgrades
--help-cmd
Display help

CAVEATS

Requires dnf-plugins-core. Changelog availability depends on package maintainers including them in the RPM.
