It seems that the changes between pre9 and pre10 for code we already had are purely non-technical (license change, etc). See attached diff.
Other than this, we just have changes in documentation/makefiles and replacement of object code with a newer version of its corresponding source. I think we can provide a much better QA on the latter, even if it contains new improvements (better x86-64 support) that the non-free object code didn't have. Given all this, would still be possible to consider this for etch ? (CCing -release) -- Robert Millan ACK STORM, S.L. - http://www.ackstorm.es/
