Ok sorry for the delay, I have some questions. Can you provide links
to the code commits fixing these issues/give some details on them?
Also I assume the Cryptocat 2.1 release fixes the decryptocat issue
correct?

==============

https://github.com/cryptocat/cryptocat/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md

Cryptocat 2.1
Jun. 7 2013
Security enhancements and bug fixes. Updating is recommended.

Cryptocat 2.0.42
Apr. 19 2013
Fixed a bug found in the encryption libraries that could partially
weaken the security of multiparty Cryptocat messages.

Cryptocat 2.0.22
Nov. 7 2012
This version pushes many important security fixes, detailed here on
the Cryptocat Development Blog:
https://blog.crypto.cat/2012/11/security-update-our-first-full-audit/

Cryptocat 2.0.19
Nov. 1 2012
Minor security fixes.

==============

Second set of questions:

Then in http://tobtu.com/decryptocat.php

A number of other issues are mentioned, but I can't easily match them
up to the changelog:

Date introduced	Days in Git	Difficulty rating
Jul 9, 2011	58	Passwords so probably broken
Sep 5, 2011	6	*** Medium
Sep 11, 2011	36	**** Hard
Oct 15, 2011	2	***** "Impossible"
Oct 17, 2011	12	*** Medium
Oct 29, 2011	191	** Easy
May 7, 2012	347	* Encraption
Apr 19, 2013	45	*** Medium
Jun 3, 2013	30+	***** "Impossible"

Can you provide links to the commits for these issues?

It looks like we need between 4 and 10+ CVEs in total.
