Generally you go to the project site and find out what the newer release includes.
For example for samba's rpm you go to www.samba.org, choose the closest to you site and locate this information there....

Best Regards.

Sounds like up2date utility is the best way to go.

It lets you choose what to update and calculates dependencies.

RedHat calls these errata, you have 3 levels, all of them can be found on this page, including a description of the problem and how it was fixed:
