It was published in Release Notes:

http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/release-notes/ch-whats-new.en.html#stable-updates

And also in the wiki:

http://wiki.debian.org/StableUpdates

But that's for the "stable" branch, not sure if "testing" is a valid target 
for "stable-updates". It does not make much sense to me, being testing a
quasi-permanent moving target.
