I'm not sure what sort of detail you are looking for.  If you mean the
sort of textual information you might find in a changeset preamble you
might be able to find that information in the MC repository, hopefully
including a reference to a Mantis report with further information.  Go
to http://source.squeakfoundation.org/39a.html and click on Versions and
search for the specific version you want to examine, then look at the
details, you can even browse the code as of that version if you want.

Alternatively if you want a 3.9 or later image with full history it
seems like it should work to start with a 3.8 image and force it to load
updates.  This will be a long and arduous task but in time should result
in an image with method versions reflecting the changes during 3.9 (and
3.10 if you continue that far).
