Public bug reported:

Please sync retext 7.1.0-1 (universe) from Debian unstable (main)

Explanation of FeatureFreeze exception:

This version has some new features, but also there are many bugfixes.
In particular, the following quite important bugs were fixed there:

- https://github.com/retext-project/retext/issues/399 — failure to start on 
certain NVidia cards (workaround for bug 941826).
- https://github.com/retext-project/retext/issues/408 — fix printing when using 
dark UI themes.
- https://github.com/retext-project/retext/issues/451 — made the syncscroll 
implementation not break HTML markup.

The most visible new feature is that clicking on files in the file manager 
opens a new tab in the existing window, not a new window. This is a big UX 
improvement and has been requested several times.
Most other features are new options and do not change existing behavior.

I am the upstream developer and I will keep an eye on bugs, including
those on errors.ubuntu.com. Also retext has automated tests, and this is
the first upload where they are run as autopkgtests.

Upstream changelog entry can be found here:
https://github.com/retext-project/retext/releases/tag/7.1.0

I am linking to it instead of attaching because it has links to GitHub
bugs/pull requests, which would be impossible in an attached text file.
