Hi All,

I have seen in the ChangeLog mails the word 'MFH'.
What is the meaning of it?

With regards

  "Merge from HEAD" means that changes from the HEAD branch are merged to
  another branch.

MFH stands for Merge From HEAD.  HEAD is the main development branch
and when features / bug fixes get applied to other branches it's
called MFH.

On a somewhat-related note, I've always wondered what "BFN" means....

Hello Gordon,

Bug Fixing News

and before you ask:

MFB: Merge From Branch (the patch was developed in a branch and is now
merged to Head, this should be avoided!)
