15-20 years is very very far from "new developments". For example the 
z-buffer was invented about 35 years ago, and this was the early 
beginings of computer graphics. About 15 years ago was the introduction 
of photon mapping, which is now used a lot, and which was a big step. 
Another big step is the introduction of programmable GPUs, about 10 
years ago.

If you want really "new development" in computer graphics (although it 
may be smaller steps), you should definitely look at Siggraph, Siggraph 
Asia and Eurographics conference proceedings, in the last 3-5 years. A 
good webpage used by researchers, which lists all accepted papers is 
Kesen Huang website:
http://kesen.realtimerendering.com/

It will also depend what you call "Computer graphics" : does it include 
texture synthesis? computational geometry? computational photography ? 
Image processing ? virtual environments with sounds? non-photorealistic 
rendering? ....or just pure realistic rendering, not necessarily realtime?
