You can install apt-listchanges, then run apt-get update and download
the fresh package and then run apt-listchanges against the file located
in /var/cache/apt/archives/.

apt-listchanges shows what has been changed in a new version of a Debian
package, as compared to the version currently installed on the system,
whose changelog is usually located in /usr/share/doc/$package

Example:
