This is a collection of patches, with a cumulative patch for the lazy.
They're documented in the tarball, but anyway:

patch_release.patch: modify "version" command output, so that the core
outputs the patch release in the version string (asked by a GUI developer)

display_server_banners.patch: slightly reworked patch #633, displays the
server banners in the core output (not in interfaces yet)

force_high_id.patch: patch #629, when the "force high id" setting is
enabled, mldonkey will disconnect from servers that give it a low id.

overnet_boot_dns_resolution.patch: patch #661, just allows to use DNS names
with the "boot" command.

selective_connection_ok.patch: reworked patch #574, calls connection_try
when a connection was attempted, *and* when a successful connection is
closed, so min_reask_delay is the pause between two connections, not the
delay between two connection attempts. Also calls connection_ok only after
"useful" events (received a slot from the peer, received some file data from
the peer,...)

network_signature_change.patch: reworked patch #622, modify the way mldonkey
identifies itself to servers and other peers, and only exchange sources with
other mldonkey clients using the same signature. (as requested by
Lugdunummaster, to try to phase out mldonkey 1.x clients)

wrong_lowid_display.patch: patch #630, cosmetic bug, LowIDs are displayed
wrongly (byte reversed)

keep_user_filenames.patch: reworked patch #648, will keep the name
associated with each file, even across core restarts, etc.

better_default_parameters.patch: new, some tweaking of default parameters.

md4_speedup.patch: patch #634, uses a larger (128Kb), static i/o buffer for
file md4 computations

port_blacklist.patch: patch #655, allows to black list a set of TCP ports;
Also implements a "min_left_servers" setting that solves the problem
reported several times in this list (forever growing server list). Author
unknown.

max_connected_servers_offbyone.patch: patch #631, mldonkey connects to one
less server that asked for with max_connected_servers.

files_md4_corruption.patch: patch #662. Author unknown.

revert_iptos.patch: new, mostly reverts patch #572. Since Lugdunum servers
now check the client port of peers with a short timeout, we cannot lower the
priority of client-to-client communications anymore.

get_chunks_in_random_order.patch: patch #665. Try to get the chunks of
files in a random order. Better for file propagation.

fix_ovweb_default_site.patch: patch #666. Author unknown.

sources_per_chunk.patch: patch #667. Adds a new setting to set the number of
sources mldonkey will assign to the download of each chunk. 1 is the
default, and the current behavior. With higher numbers, mldonkey will try
harder to complete partially downloaded chunks.

hide_chunks_being_uploaded.patch: patch #668. Hide chunks already being
downloaded to other uploaders. Better for file propagation.

remove_cancelled_download.patch: fix for bug #1759. Cancelled files are
removed from !current_files, so they can be retried without killing the core
first.

upload_file_fairness.patch: patch #692. The last upload slot can only be
used for files not already being uploaded. When you have a very popular file
in your share list, it gives more chance to other files to get uploaded.

vd_sharp_urls.patch: new, very small web interface improvement. Adds cross
links between "vd" and "vd #" web pages.

fifo_new_sources.patch: patch #700. Check that sources received (from
servers or from other peers)  aren't already known, queue them in a FIFO,
and dequeue them when no other client connections are scheduled.

connect_on_server_urls: new. dllink ed2k://|server|... URL add the server to
your server list, but now also try to connect to them (not always
successfully... :( )

uploaders_command: new. Add an "uploaders" command that displays the client
names, and the files that are uploaded from you.
