The full list of the fixes is as always in the NEWS file.
I'm afraid it isn't. You did not merge the changes from 5.3 NEWS to 5.4.
I know this is controversial and some people have been committing to both
5.3 and 5.4 NEWS files. However, we have clear guidance for this:
70 3. All news updates intended for public viewing, such as new
features,
71 bug fixes, improvements, etc., should go into the NEWS file of
the
72 *first* to be released version with the given change. In other
words
73 any NEWS file change only needs to done in one branch.

As far as I remember, this was observed in the 5.2 era.
I think it would make more sense to change this rule and update all NEWS
files for stable branches as it would alleviate the RMs from the work of
determining which of the changes were 5.3 only, but either way we ought to
stick to one uniform rule. The status quo (some people updating one NEWS
file, others updating both) is not very satisfactory.
