I've done hand testing of all changes myself in addition to testing
with the included testsuite.  1.4.8 contained the majority of the
changes with all subsequent releases basically being additional
bugfixes.  Note that quite a lot of those fixes also affect 1.4.7 in
testing as well; I don't consider 1.4.7 to be a better release than
1.4.11 (all subsequent changes were fixing known bugs and I spent the
last two months doing nothing but working toward getting schroot in
the best state possible for squeeze).  Testing in unstable over the
last few weeks has revealed a small number of regressions which have
been fixed; there are no known issues in need of fixing at this
point, and I'd strongly recommend having 1.4.11 in squeeze.

I've also tested it with sbuild, and all the releases are all
known to function correctly when run with sbuild.

Releases later than 1.4.7 also deprecate features for removal in
squeeze+1.  If we don't have an update in squeeze, I'll need to
postpone some changes until squeeze+2 which I would really prefer
not to do.

Roger
