Description Of The Issue

I personally find it increasingly difficult to keep track of what operator behavior has changed in what version and I always have to search through CHANGELOG.md.

So it made me thinking that the API documentation for each operator could include a section with all changes ordered by RxJS version (ideally with links to relevant issues and PRs). CHANGELOG.md already has each line starting with scope so this could work automatically by "just" creating another dgeni processor.

Research direction

Start by inspecting CHANGELOG.md to understand its scope and version format, then review the existing API documentation generation and dgeni processors. Done means each operator's documentation page includes its changes ordered by RxJS version, with links to relevant issues and pull requests where available.
