Many new features which might be interesting for one or another user, 
e.g. this one:

|     - Added real name display to the web roster.  (LP: #266754)

Many resolved bugs.

At least one important privacy topic:

|  - Organization: headers are now unconditionally removed from posts to
|    anonymous lists.

You could try to use the privacy topic mentioned above to get 2.1.19 
into Jessie. If this doesn't work, 2.1.19 will hopefully appear in 
Jessie-Backports.
