Those changes are at least partially covered by some of the existing 
changelog entries (video emulation rewrite & RISC OS version no longer 
requiring host to support Arc screen modes). Maybe the changelog should be 
split up further, so each port/platform has its own list of changes? E.g. 
I've just remembered that Ian made a few changes to the X11 version to 
allow it to run on X servers that don't support XWarpPointer.

Those are performance tweaks, so fall under the rather general "Many 
performance tweaks and optimisations" entry. The RISC OS !Help file has 
fairly decent descriptions of what they do, and can be changed at runtime 
via the RISC OS versions rather crude "tweak menu".
