Is there a way to access the release notes of a new package *before* or
*without* actually installing or updating?  For example, bash-4.1.14-7 (but
also in general).  Thanks.

Download the archive[s] without installing.
Alternatively, dig https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-announce/

I think I'll use the cygwin-announce URL.  I want to avoid any
possibility of disturbing my packages until I actually want to
install.

Thanks.
