See below the slightly edited output of

darcs changes --matches 'date "last 2 weeks" && (name bug || name resolve)'

The summary is that in the last 2 weeks, we've fixed about a dozen
bugs, most of which were regressions from 2.0.2 (mostly caused by
myself, to be honest).  Usually you'd like to go at least a few weeks
without finding any new regressions before releasing.

  * fix bug in handling of corrupted pending file, and in test.
  Our test was wrong, and our repair wasn't smart enough to find this.
  Recent fixes in repair by Petr revealed this bug, which allowed darcs
  to record a corrupt patch if users manually corrupted the pending
  file.  I fixed the test (and translated it to bash), and also fixed
  the bug by making darcs rename the pending file as soon as it notices
  it is broken.  This may not be the most robust solution (it might be
  better to just exit with failure), but it is much better than
  corrupting the recorded state.
