MAME 0.258
Yes, it’s time for another release: MAME 0.258! It’s been another month of exciting Apple updates. Several low-cost Macintosh computers with 68040 CPUs are now supported, and there are fixes for some issues with sound playback. For earlier Macintosh computers, there are two new floppy disk software lists: one for original dumps and one containing low-impact cracks. Support for early CD-ROM drives has been improved, allowing early multimedia software for the Apple II and Macintosh to run. There are also a few Apple III fixes in there.
Moving on to other computers, Silicon Graphics workstation support is still making progress. This month, the Personal IRIS 4D family have been promoted to working. The ZX Spectrum family has been further filled out with another enhanced clone from Scorpion, Ltd. Work is continuing on various PC video and sound cards, allowing software that uses more of their advanced features to run. This month, you may notice better sampled sound playback when using the Sound Blaster ISA card. In some cases, software that would previously hang when playing sounds now works properly.
Two quiz games running on Namco’s System 12 are now working: Derby Quiz My Dream Horse, and Kaiun Quiz. A version of The Legend of Kage with different sound hardware has been added, as well as a location test version of Dogyuun and a version of Makaimura (released internationally as Ghosts’n Goblins) that fits in between two of the previously supported versions. Although it doesn’t provide much in the way of gameplay, Sega’s Wanpaku Safari ride, based on Saturn hardware, has been dumped and added.
As always, far more has happened during the month than we have time to talk about here. You can read all about it in the whatsnew.txt file, or get the source code and 64-bit Windows binary packages from the download page.

In the what's new list, how can it be used to just understand the arcade system changes made (new games, new clones and driver updates) over the last month?

You just read it and have to have the ability to comprehend English

Since MAME is not just arcade, there isn't a way to determine strictly arcade changes. You have to read the whatsnew and make your own determinations. I run into the same thing as I only focus on arcade and handheld changes. I don't use MAME for console, computer and fruit games.
What you can do is download Arcade64 and read that whatsnew document to see if that makes it easier. I don't use Arcade64 so I can't help with that either.
Not the best help, I know.

You can't. If you're interested in some specific game, you can Control-F (Command-F on Macs) and search for the game's driver name/rom name, but that's not perfect. Otherwise you just scroll through the file and see what changed.
