<p>According to <a href="https://bitcoinclassic.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://bitcoinclassic.com/</a> there are no additional patches except the blocksize increase yet.</p>

<p>I already know about the 2MB block size increase. I would like to know more about who controls the code base, what the other proposed changes are, and those kinds of things.</p>

There are many different wishes to what should go into classic, but I strongly believe that they will keep the promise given at <https://bitcoinclassic.com/> - to only include the patch allowing for 2 MB blocks (BIP-102, possibly with some tweaking) - otherwise it will be very hard to get the required adoption.

On the longer term (after we have successfully migrated to bigger blocks), there may be other changes coming. The biggest news with Classic is the governance model. I haven't paid attention, but they wanted to create a manifest, sort of a "constitution" which will tell how to handle similar conflicts in the future.
