Attached the git log between those two Debian package releases (tagged debian-0.9--git090223-1 and debian-0.9.1+git100220-1 in the git repo). You can also read the git log online at http://repo.or.cz/w/conkeror.git/shortlog, but I find the plain text version easier to read. Breaking Changes are documented in the wiki at http://conkeror.org/BreakingChanges anyway. But this does not include all non-bugfix changes. If necessary, I can try to summarise what changes are neither bugfixes nor relevant for the package (like the scripts for the nightly builds). > > > If there are non-bugfix changes here, why do these warrant a freeze > > > exception? > > > > The main reason is that the package was out of sync with Debian for a > > while because it didn't work anymore with Ubuntu's xulrunner (which > > doesn't allow xulrunner-stub to be symlinked) and hasn't been synced > > anymore after that problem has been fixed in Debian in January. > > OTOH, you've also pointed out the two commits you care about; Three things actually, of which I can pinpoint only two to commits: + Debian package supports Ubuntu again (http://repo.or.cz/w/conkeror.git/commitdiff/e6faed1dbbc896ca2023e9b793348be3e452975d) + Debian package supports xulrunner-1.9.2 (http://repo.or.cz/w/conkeror.git/commitdiff/cbc2e88fe750160adad66d8f8648493856e78c88 and http://repo.or.cz/w/conkeror.git/commitdiff/8d11dbc5f3c49e9bca0ba8512f79aaa0b2c56f03) + Upstream tested with xulrunner 1.9.2 (not a single commit, but the knowledge, that upstream never tested the version currently in Ubuntu with xulrunner 1.9.2) The first two are easy to cherry pick. The last one is not.
