English translation:change/update history
Explanation:
This is a somewhat liberal take on your sentence, but the German is truly awful.

As I understand your sentence, it refers to logging all changes/updates to the code in order to document them (which is good programming practice). "Change history" is a term frequently found in programming environments.

My suggestion would be s.th. along the lines of
change/update history to comply with all documentation requirements

(I'd also use requirements rather than obligations for ...pflichten)
