We're trying to think of the best way to do this. A lot of feature and function updates happen in the assets library module, which isn't listed anywhere publicly. Because it's not listed publicly, how to share updates for that package is kind of a challenge. We're considering putting a change log directly within the Compendium for that module as one possible solution.
The actual content modules barely have any actual updates at all other than content corrections. However, we've recently updated the content modules simply because we added some additional data in the manifest file for display on The Forge and Foundry Hub. (Another one is coming out soon just to fix a URL in that file.)
For content package updates, we plan to post changes in the Foundry Discord server under #package-releases. We considered posting emails to purchasers of the respective modules, but we were worried it might feel spammy.
We're open to suggestions, and we'd love to get everyone's opinions on how you might prefer to receive change logs going forward.
At least then you follow a coherent workflow that other modules use as well and it's easier to understand what's changing when :) Also means no one has to search for the changelog in unexpected locations.
Thanks for the suggestion. That looks like a promising solution. We might use that going forward. Of course it'll require another update to integrate it and set up the dependency. 😆
By the way, one of the recent Asset Library updates added a "Dark Mode" version of the Setting Grid scene, in case you missed it. 😉
Sounds great! I will have to look into the cards in general. I have the original physical card set and we used them quite a lot over the years, but not some of the new expansions. Especially the Setting Cards are completely new to me :) Can't wait to try it out with my group!
Another option we're considering is using the devlogs on itch.io. Each product has its own devlog, and it would allow us to share lengthier information in a nicely formatted presentation with screenshots if desired. We could of course do both as well by posting the details in the devlog and linking to it from the Changelogs module within Foundry VTT.

Are there any changelogs for these modules? I see updates now and then, but don't see any changelogs anywhere. Can you provide a link?
Thanks for posting this question.

Thanks for the answer and I understand the trouble.
One way you could display changelogs in foundry itself is using this library: https://github.com/theripper93/libChangelogs
