I just saw these additions yesterday.  The news is on the front page, but since it was moved to just show a headline at the top, I missed it.  A quote:

"One thing that people said was high on their priority list on Nexus
sites was more exposure for mods that have been on the site for a while.
One of the ways I thought we could get more exposure for mods was by
using the very driving force of this community, that would be you (by
the way), to show what’s popular at the moment."

But more interestingly:

"If you’re a mod author you will be able to write news articles for your
files, and these will show in a new tab on your file pages, and will
also show up in the “File news” tab on the front of the site. So if
you’ve got something new you’d like to mention about your mod or if you
want to ask your users questions and get feedback then you can write up a
news article for everyone to see. Each article has its own forum
thread, so your article comments are kept separate from the rest of your
file. You can write these articles by clicking on the “Articles” link
from your mod management page."

So that sounds like a good thing to do when you upload a new version of something.  Write a little article saying what's new, and it'll make sure people know about the change.  But even if authors don't write about the updates, the "tracked files" feed will show as news on the front page that any file you've chosen to track has been updated, and how.  If you track your own uploaded files, that gives another way of seeing when people comment on your files, as well.
