It felt to me like everyone saw that spat, but I guess it wasn't so.

As mentioned, the main "feature" was the temporary removal of some
calls on non-essential new upstream library features.  We've added
those back now they work for us (and we've ditched MacOS X fink).

I think things currently in our version but not yet on koha.org include:
- EDIFACT support (bugs 2443 and 3561);
- various search enhancements;
- some external resource service connections.

There are also things that started in our fork but have already been
submitted as patches, at least in part: a fixed/enhanced patron import
tool (bugs.koha.org 2287 and 3243); RFID-USB drivers (more work to do
on this to get the perl modules packaged and published - bug 2244);
and bugfixed sessionlog (bug 3295).

One reason I don't have a concise list is that I think some of our
work was credited to another vendor when it was pushed to git.koha.org
and the commit ID changed - I didn't realise anyone was going to cite
contribution figures, nor how much it would complicate the merge.  I
didn't care as long as the fix got shared.

I'm pretty sure there's more stuff which will come to light as I
untangle our git branches, but I suspect you'd prefer me to get on
with sorting this out, rather than making a comprehensive fork feature
list.  It's not like the co-op is actively selling our development
version of Koha: these features will be contributed back and we sell
on the basis of koha.org features (but maybe that should change since
my edit access was removed some months ago).

Hope that explains,
