the mov issue was fixed, channels dont seem to happen
theres a regression with 946493eb3e072b499909f606625480c928834a44
that ive reported 1 day after the patch was posted and pinged 11 days later

thats not branch blocking, a bugfix is just a normal backport
I dont have the file that 946493eb3e072b499909f606625480c928834a44 fixes
so trying to fix it is like working blindfolded, thats why ive so far
waited for the author to respond and take a look

There may be other features someone wants in but i think delaying the release
for features is in general a bad idea. (there may be individual exceptions
where it makes sense)

And regressions & security issues, i hope there are no major ones.
If there are they should not block making the branch though

thx
