Only in the changed files.  maintain.texi says

       The list of year numbers should include each year in which you
    finished preparing a version which was actually released, and
    which was an ancestor of the current version.

       Please reread the paragraph above, slowly and carefully.  It is
    important to understand that rule precisely, much as you would
    understand a complicated C statement in order to hand-simulate it.

       This list is _not_ a list of years in which versions were
    _released_.  It is a list of years in which versions, later
    released, were _completed_.  So if you finish a version on Dec 31,
    1994 and release it on Jan 1, 1995, this version requires the
    inclusion of 1994, but doesn't require the inclusion of 1995.
