The changes document for gcc-12 did provide this information: 
https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-12/changes.html

However, the changes document for gcc-13 and gcc-14 appear not to.

Iain does always document updates to the language version: 
https://gcc.gnu.org/git/?p=gcc.git&a=search&h=HEAD&st=commit&s=D+front-end

To get the D versions for any version of GDC, you can triangulate 
commits. That will lead you to this commit for GDC 13: 
https://gcc.gnu.org/git/?p=gcc.git;a=commit;h=328477f6ee82d27fa6bb09617644d409be300688

and GDC 14: 
https://gcc.gnu.org/git/?p=gcc.git;a=commit;h=09992f8b881aa2dfbee1e9d6954c3ca90cd3fe41

So GDC 14.1 includes the D language at v2.108.0.
