In upstream changelog about 70 changes and not all of them has a bug 
number, but at least 40 of them look like fixes for more or less 
significant bugs.
A few changes is backports from development branch.
Other changes are translates, build system for other platforms or 
non-linux specific bugs.


As i can see, only backported changes definetelly don't fit acceptance 
criteria:
  - Backport new StorageId code
  - New overhaul of xattr code.
  - Add rudimentary support for saving AFS acls.


But it will be very hard to apply all changes, except backported.
