How can identify change in Azure role definitions?

we are trying to implement a process to identify the change in azure role definition for any azure built in role. does microsoft let the customer know that it's changing/adding/removing certain role definitions (operations) of a role?

I could see a REST api-version available to query azure role definition. but, when microsoft makes any changes in role definition of a role, will they return the new role definition as part of the current api-version? or will they release a new api-version ?

because, microsoft wont allow to query role definition api-version using "latest" tag. so, even if we setup a process to idenitify role definition changes using the current api-version, if they release a new version tomorrow, the process would fail to identify the change (because, we are still pointing to older api-version.)

Please let us know if anyone has built a solution around this?

Thank you.

    The only place I see that actually shows full information is the documentation:

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/role-based-access-control/built-in-roles

    Unfortunately I don't see any change log (day-by-day) for these descriptions. You could however suggest this to Azure feedback portal:
