Indeed!

The Version History section of the manual gives details about what has 
changed for every version. To help with information overload, that same 
section of the Manual gives the advice on the big things to look at when 
upgrading each new stable series as TJ mentioned above.

So for the overview on big changes from v8.2.x to v8.4.x see
   http://tinyurl.com/y33y2p5a

and from v8.4.x to 8.6.x see
   http://tinyurl.com/y547kkfa

and from v8.6.x to v8.8.x see
