Hi Adrian,
here's the shortlog between r873 and r946 for an Ubuntu update to r946.

Here is a list of revisions with bugfixes so you have a short doc to prove that a flashrom update would be beneficial even during freeze times:
* r874 Add optional DMI matching to eliminate false positives in board matching on boards with ambiguous PCI subsystem IDs * r875 Refuse to write chips which are bigger than the addressable limit * r877 Use partial instead of full-chip erase for better reliability * r879 Make Dediprog SF100 support actually work for writing * r884 Work around bogus gcc warning on newer Ubuntu * r889 Improved memory mapping compatibility on some kernel/BIOS combinations which caused an abort * r892 Improve reliability of DMI matching with older mainboards
- r894 Improve reliability of SPI flashing on all Intel chipsets
- r896 Fix broken DMI mainboard matching (affects a few boards)
- r897 Fix erase of Winbond W25X{10,20,40,80}chips
- r899 Reduce the number of incorrectly detected SPI chips
- r902 Add a helpful message for recent Nvidia chipsets
- r907 Fix breakage for half a dozen chips (Pm49fl002, Pm49fl004,
SST49LF160C, W39V080FA, W39V080FA_dual, W39V040C)
- r910 Fix GPO access on Intel PIIX4
- r913 Fix an incorrectly shadowed variable
- r916 Detect Laptops and warns users in that case (Important!)
- r919 Make sure only tested mainboard code is run automatically
- r922 Improve man page readability
- r930 Fix a NULL pointer bug which was triggered on a huge number of
boards
* r946 Fix incorrect PCI BAR masking for memory BARs
- A sizable number of mainboards are now recognized
* Dead code has been dropped * A dozen flash chips have been tested
Some new features got added since r873, but they are all default off and compiled out, so the number of added bugs should be zero.
