Feature Request: npm update : output summary of packages updated and (if available) changelog url

npm update doesn't output what it's updated
so you have to do npm outdated first, then google each package for changelog or changes or blog posts

it would be nice, for each package updated, it would output a 'changes/changelog/change delta' file

for this to really work, each package would need a changelog file with a 'delta' of changes, e.g. a version-number-tag, followed by changes since the previous release. i'm sure if you specified a 'changelog' standard, they (the package maintainers) would come to the party. perl, nothing to do with npm/js, does it a different way with a 'perldelta[version-number]' file with changes since the previous release

but just a npm update --verbose, listing packages updated with from/to versions, would help

and thanks for npm, appreciated!

The request concerns the npm update command and proposes either changelog output or an npm update --verbose summary with package versions. Start by reviewing the npm CLI update implementation and this issue's discussion; done would require an agreed output and changelog behavior for updated packages.
