The changes would be in relatively recent trunk, which is past the 
point-of-no-return-to-0.21.  And, patches should be done against trunk, 
so if you want to make patches, you'll either need to set up a different 
Myth system for development (which is very easy to do on a different 
computer, and possible--if you /really/ know what you're doing--but much 
more difficult to do on the -fixes Myth computer) or just run trunk on 
your "production" systems.  If running trunk on the production systems, 
you should really keep up with all the discussion on this (the -dev) 
list as well as all the commits/tickets on -commits.

The commit messages are probably the best info, but there may be some 
information on the wiki.
