AFAIK there is none. In theory, a combination of
http://linux-vserver.org/ChangeLog-2.1 and
http://linux-vserver.org/ChangeLog-2.2 should get you there, but the
first is horribly out of date, so here's a little
ChangeLog-according-to-Daniel.

The major changes are:
- COW link breaking
- 2.6.19+ support (i.e. using the mainline namespaces)
- capability masking, allowing things like bind9 to run unmodified in guests
- artificially advancing idle time, allowing fair sharing of CPU
resources among guests
- accounting APIs, making it easier to write monitoring programs

And a few of the rather minor/less useful changes:
- allows raising the bcapabilities of a guest while it's running
- virtualized time
- the ability to create private guests, that cannot be easily
administered from the host
- warnings without CONFIG_VSERVER_DEBUG (so Debian users will see them
too...)
- legacy disabled by default (so util-vserver 0.30.213+ recommended)
- privacy for guests, which will hide things from xid 1
- a scheduling monitor
