Here's a draft:

1.7.9-jumbo-7 is a bugfix-mostly release. We're deliberately not
including support for new formats (even though we have plenty of those
in development trees), except for a couple that slipped through
(KeePass 2.x, RAdmin 2.x).
High-level overview of the changes:
* KeePass 2.x support (in addition to 1.x) (Dhiru)
* The dynamic formats support has been enhanced a little bit, and a new sample
has been added to the default dynamic.conf (dynamic_1010 for RAdmin 2.x, which
uses MD5 hashes of NUL-padded passwords) (JimF, Solar)
* GPU support under recent Mac OS X (magnum, others)
- CUDA working, OpenCL partially working - see doc/BUGS for more detail
* The first GPU (as opposed to possibly a CPU) is now found automatically
when no specific OpenCL platform/device is requested (magnum)
* Bugfixes for GPU formats: mscash-cuda, pwsafe-cuda, pwsafe-opencl (Lukas)
* Bugfixes for GPU formats: raw-sha512-cuda, raw-sha512-opencl, xsha512-cuda,
xsha512-opencl (myrice)
* Speedup for phpass-opencl, mscash2-cuda (Lukas)
* Speedup for mscash2-opencl (Sayantan, Solar)
* Corrected detection of different salts in mscash-cuda, mscash2-cuda,
mscash2-opencl (Solar)
* Updated comments printed for some GPU formats (removed "unreliable" notices
from formats that are now reliable, added "inefficient" notices to formats that
exist primarily to support further development) (magnum, Solar)
* hccap2john bugfix (this program was non-working in jumbo-6) (Solar)
* pdf2john bugfix (this program was non-working in jumbo-6) (JimF)
* keychain2john integrated into build (Solar)
* Support for more varieties of PKZIP archives (JimF)
* Better early rejection for RAR (huge speedup at -p archives) (magnum, Pavel)
* RACF and VNC formats speedup (Knug Carl Gustf)
* SIP, WoltLab Burning Board 3 formats speedup for non-OpenMP builds (Solar)
* x86-64 SSE2+ interleave settings for LLVM and GCC 4.7+ (magnum)
* Greater use of XOP in SHA-1 (now also in round 3) (Sayantan, Solar)
* The --list option's supported set of parameters has been extended (use
"--list=help" to find out what's available) (Frank, magnum)
* \xNN escape sequence now works inside preprocessor ranges (magnum)
* More test vectors for various formats, including based on KoreLogic's CMIYC
2012 challenges (JimF, others)
* Wordlist parsing bugfixes (in particular with CR chars) (magnum, Solar, Guth)
* Build failure fixes for many platforms/targets (magnum, Solar, others)
* Many other bugs fixed, fewer new bugs introduced, some code changes made,
some documentation revisions made (all)
* doc/BUGS has been mostly rewritten to reflect the remaining issues (Solar)
* Minor updates and fixes to bash completion (Frank)
* Filter_Rot13 external mode sample (Frank)
* Many updates to pass_gen.pl (JimF, magnum)
* This changes overview has been compiled (Solar)
