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.
