When fwupd proposes upgrading firmware (e.g. BIOS), it shows the
changelog for the target version. However, typically that changelog only
states the changes made in the most recent version. If the user is
upgrading from, say, 1.50 to 1.53, showing the changelog for 1.53 does
not explain the changes in 1.51 and 1.52.

Please consider addressing this by providing a way to view the
changelogs for all the versions in between.

This functionality is already available when you use the command:

"fwupdmgr get-releases"

Various software frontends such as gnome-firmware also can render the
same information.
