Problem description: At present, mintupdate-cli only offers very basic functionality compared to its GUI equivalent. You can list available updates (with or without refreshing), or upgrade, and that's about it. In the GUI you are also able to view affected packages per update candidate, a description of the package, and most importantly, changelogs.
Proposed solution: I would like a new option or action that prints out the changelog (and for completion, also the description and packages affected) for a particular package when that package is present in the list of available updates.
Alternatives
At the very least, mention in the tool's manpage what other tools are available to achieve this (e.g. apt-get changelog for the changelog, apt-cache show for the description ... not sure how one gets the list of affected packages).
