I've created a small python script that extracts recent changelog entries for recently installed packages. It's available here: http://codeincluded.blogspot.com/2011/12/rpm-changelogs-for-recent-updates-10x.html
It's main purpose is to obtain a change summary after bring my system up to date. It defaults to looking 1 day back for installs and 60 days back in each changelog. But this is configurable and the code is efficient enough to report on an entire OS upgrade in only a few seconds (on a Phenom II 1090T).
I wrote this on OpenSUSE, but it's only uses rpm, so I would expect Fedora users would be able to use it as well. If anyone here might find such a tool useful, feel free to check it out, and let me know how you get on.
