GnuCash can't do that, but if you're using an XML format file to save 
your GnuCash data, it's just text file.  I sometimes use a text file 
compare program to find out what changed between two versions.  The 
file may be big, so whatever program you use needs to be able to diff 
large files.  I usually use BBEdit, but it's a Mac program and not free 
so may not be of any use to you.
