This is mostly a bug fix release, though there have been some pretty big changes under the hood in the networking and webserver code.

George,

Can I have a more detailed changelog of what kind of bugs were fixed? I'd like to get 2.1.1 into Feisty, which is a bit of a stretch right now (it's frozen), especially without good justification...


Ubuntu guidelines:
*

A description of the proposed changes, with sufficient detail to estimate their potential impact on the distribution
*

A rationale for the exception, explaining the benefit of the change
*

Any additional information which would be helpful in considering the decision

Well the changes are listed in the CHangeLog :

Changes in 2.1.1
- Rewrite of webserver
- New webgui : coldmilk
- Networking thread has been split up in 2 threads, one for upload, one for
download
- Significant speed improvements when downloading over a LAN


However those security fixes in 2.1.2 are probably a better reason to include that release.
