Okay, so you're looking for a pretty fine-grained report For viewing
things on a proble/mfix basis the GNATS bug database may be what you're
looking for.  You can get to GNATS from the support page.  

Major bugfixes show up on the ERRATA page for the respective RELEASE, and
can be retrieved via the release pages mentioned below.  

If you can't find any references to your problem, ask here.  If it's truly
a bug we'll ask you to make a PR for it for the GNATS database.

I hope I've better answered your question.  Let me know if there's
anything else I can do for you.
