How can I list all updates installed on Mac OS X?

Question

The way updates are recorded has changed considerably between versions of OS X; both of the answers I see os far apply to Snow Leopard (10.6), so if you're concerned with another version, please specify.

The list of all installed updates is located in /Library/Receipts/InstallHistory.plistif you don't want to use the Software Update preference pane.

includes lots of additional software installed (or not) in addition to the stuff managed by the OS. – mankoff Oct 28 '10 at 18:07

System Prefs > Software Update > Installed Software.
