Perhaps these?

https://changelogs.ubuntu.com/meta-release

and

https://changelogs.ubuntu.com/meta-release-lts

which are updated with details on the new release once it is out and
upgrades supported.

That is the info fetched and parsed by the update-manager, which it uses
to know there is new release to offer an upgrade to.
