I think you need to read through the commit log, since the last minor
releases. There's a script to help with that, in
src/tools/git_changelog. You can do something like
src/tools/git_changelog --since=2016-08-09 to list all commits since
the last minor releases. Compared to plain "git log", it lists commits
from all the stable branches, and back-ported commits are listed only once.
Off the top of my head, these two recent commits were quite significant:
1c02ee314bc17ba0ff226c33a64935d02ff1208a (FSM corruption leading to errors)
a5f0bd77a2fab60a52dc335a63efc21abc806aa7 (use-after-free around DISTINCT
transition function calls.)
There have been a lot of other commits, though.
