Comment (by DD32):

 In adition, WordPress 2.7 will have it read along the lines of: "An
 upgrade is available, __View version 99.9 Details__ or __upgrade
 automatically__." The details link allows full viewing of the plugin
 details from the readme.txt (Basically what you see on
 wordpress.org/extend/plugins/plugin-name/ in the same format)

 While it doesnt force users to visit the details link, You could add a
 note to the plugin description along the lines of "Upgrade note: Please
 view the Plugin details before performing an upgrade to view upgrade
 notes"

 I'm not too sure there'll be a function to force users to view your
 upgrade instructions though, Same goes for preserving data files in the
 plugin directory.
