The only "features" added in this release are very minor ones. The one titled "Modify our parsing behavior for RS-274D files" allows gerbv to attempt to preview corrupt, or RS-274D, which gerbv has not previously supported - so will only affect bad (or RS-274D) gerbers files.
I personally feel that the fix / feature ratio of this release means it is suitable for the FeatureFreeze for bug fix only updates (process agreed by motu-release): https:/ /wiki.ubuntu. com/FreezeExcep tionProcess# FeatureFreeze% 20for%20bug% 20fix%20only% 20updates% 20(process% 20agreed% 20by%20motu- release)
