We do weekly updates via Change Sets and use their Description field to enumerate brief explanations. Example of what I want:
1. Fixed problem A
2. Added field "new field"
3. Added workflow X
However, I can't seem to get line breaks into the description field, so it all runs together: 1. Fixed problem A 2. Added field "new field" 3. Added workflow X
I've tried:
<br />
BR()
\n
- Just entering multiple blank lines via the return key
Is there any way to add in line breaks?

Possible Suggestion/Solution #1
HTML won't render \n as a new line, and the field probably escapes/encodes HTML. So the answer is probably no.
Try a comma :)
This week we: Fixed problem A, Added field "new field", Added workflow X
Or keep the release notes somewhere else and just put in the link:

Possible Suggestion/Solution #2
Without doing something like @techtrekker suggested and inserting spaces and then putting a dot or something I think this is impossible.
Change sets will even eat line breaks in validation rules or Workflow rule criteria.
