Well, I use the BK changeset history as a changelog. The complete changelog
is quite large so I don't want to post it to the mailinglist.

Certainly; here is a summary of all changes since the last point
release (0.9.68 back in March):

- ALSA support
- sound driver rewrite
- support for the 2.6 kernel
- fixes for SMP
- debugger improvements
- bootx bugfixes (10.3 won't boot without this one)
- improved tunconfig script
- virtualization engine fixes (makes it possible to run OSX on 604 cpus)
- reduced latency
- USB support
- generic SCSI support (and support for IDE burners)
- improved XDGA support (XDGA is obsolete though)
- sheep_net improvements
- performance improvements
- misc bugfixes

Note that the debian mol package has typically been built from
a developer tree snapshots so some of the things above
might already be available there...
