The "CHANGES" file inside the tarball would tell (since the update to it
is part of the patch).  I've gotten very little feedback from packagers(*)
regarding the post-release patches and updates; each release starting with
2.8.2 in 1999 has had post-release patches.  _All_ of the interaction I
recall regarding those patches has been my pointing out that they exist.

The individual tarballs (including release updates) are of course on
http://lynx.isc.org/current

this narrows it down slightly (since you're referring to rpms).

(*) roughly speaking, less than a quarter of the packagers for the various
    programs that I maintain communicate directly with me.
