No. there is the projectInfo plugin that generates changes lists:
Manual tracking:
http://forrest.apache.org/pluginDocs/plugins_0_80/org.apache.forrest.plugin.input.projectInfo/docs/user/useCases/changeLogFeatures.html
Automated tracking: some support of changelog from SVN -
http://forrest.apache.org/pluginDocs/plugins_0_80/org.apache.forrest.plugin.input.projectInfo/index.html#SVN+Changes
There is no support for displaying diffs between documents. This could
be easily achieved though. Install something like viewSVN and have
Forrest retrieve the diff rendering from there and skin it
appropriately. If you want to go this route we can help guide you here.
Alternatively you could write a generator (but look to see if Cocoon has
one already) and use that, via a plugin, to create your diffs and render
them. If you want to go this route, the join us on the dev list.
