Microsoft NuGet packages release notes

Is it possible to see some sort of release notes/version history for the Microsoft NuGet packages?

As an example, we currently have version 1.0.5 of Microsoft.CodeDom.Providers.DotNetCompilerPlatform installed in our solution, and now there's an update available to version 1.0.6 (https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.CodeDom.Providers.DotNetCompilerPlatform).

This is a potentially important update as it involves the Roslyn compiler used to compile our web app. Obviously release notes should be distributed, as it helps with the following issues:

I suspect that it involves the Roslyn project (https://github.com/dotnet/roslyn), but I'm unable to find any usable release notes there.

According to this issue under roslyn repository, given package is NOT handled by Roslyn team:

jaredpar commented on May 30 2017

@niemyjski note that despite the name we don't own this particular package. It's produced by the ASP.net team. The repo for the package is here https://github.com/aspnet/RoslynCodeDomProvider

And that repo does seem to contain code to build the package and something similar to release notes can be found here:

https://github.com/aspnet/RoslynCodeDomProvider/releases

Which state for 1.0.6:

Fixing issue#2 & issue#10

Adding support for custom location of Roslyn binaries

The issues are:

If the Microsoft.CodeDom.Providers.DotNetCompilerPlatform did have release notes, they would most likely be in the <releaseNotes> element within the .nuspec file for the package. Installing version 1.0.6 and unzipping its .nupkg file, I found this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<package xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/packaging/2013/05/nuspec.xsd">

It doesn't look like there are any release notes here.
