Audit is part of the GPL product.

You said you wanted the history of tags w/dates.. you need auditing for
that.

Finding what has changed since a tag is just:

cvs -q rdiff -r first_tag -r second_tag module

To just get the list of files:

cvs -q rlog -SR -rfirst_tag::second_tag

(note no space after the r... an anachonism inherited from the old cvs
that's difficult to change now).
