pacman saves installation logs to `/var/log/pacman'.
Does yay and paru store logs as well?
If not, can this be enabled?
I want to know when I have upgraded package x and which versions.
Thanks!

Pacman is your package manager. That information is all recorded in its log.
e.g.
$ paclog --package=qutebrowser-git | paclog --action=upgrade

You may be interested in using pkglog.

Thank you, but pkglog and paclog read from `/var/log/pacman.log`.
I don't see output from AUR packages installations from yay or paru in this log file.

yay and paru are both pacman wrappers that use pacman to do the actual installing / removing / updating .
Check the log for any package you know you installed with either of those helpers and you'll find it's listed as installed with a a pacman command .

Thank you! My log file had non-text characters, which caused grep to fail!
