Sorry for this again, just want to understand.

Here is the changelog of fcron:

>From version 2.9.7 to 3.0.0
- Added a missing entry in changelog (changes from 2.9.6 to 2.9.7, bug fix for 
NetBSD).
- Merged a patch for the check_system_crontabs script (Security enhancements 
and cleanups).

>From version 2.9.6 to 2.9.7
- Added time zone support (option timezone).
- Better support FreeBSD's users and groups modifications in fcron's install 
scripts.
- Fixed a bug which used to make fcron send empty mails on very recent systems.
- Fixed a bug which prevented fcrondyn to being used on NetBSD (thanks go to 
Gabor Z. Papp).
- Added some casts in fileconf.c and save.c (to avoid some warnings when 
compiling on HP-UX).
- Added a FAQ entry on how to emulate an anacron entry.

>From version 2.9.5.1 to 2.9.6
- fixed the bug which made jobs run an hour too early after a daylight saving 
time change.
- Added detailed explanations about when a job will run when there is a DST 
change in the FAQ.
- fixed fcrondyn's "Unknown command" bug on x86_64 (thanks go to Georgi 
Georgiev).
- made fcrontab behave better when there is no space left in the spool 
directory (used to truncate the fcrontab source file).
- Added a script, check_system_crontabs, to emulate Vixie cron's behavior about 
/etc/crontab and /etc/cron.d. Please have a look at the top of 
script/check_system_crontabs for more information.
- HP-UX support (needs more tests).
- bug fix : restore umask even if fcron runs unprivileged.

I  don't  see  any  principal  changes  which  can  broke  one's working
configuration!  The  most  important  change  is  introducing  time zone
support  in  2.9.7,  but  I  believe  fcron  will  work  normally  after
upgrading even without changing its configuration since option tzdiff is
deprecated  but  still  supported.  All  other changes seem to be simple
bugfixes. 

Please show me what changes in fcron can probably have an influence upon
2.9.5's configuration.
