It is unfortunate, that there is no easy access to the changelog, I know of,
but all other infos can be seen on the package tracking system:

http://packages.qa.debian.org/a/adns.html

This also includes the change notification mails. For me, this is good
enough, but I could understand when people want to have this offline
available.
