Hi,  
How can I see the changes which are made for Mender compatible device? Which files are changed and how, which are the new files, etc.?  
Is it possible to do this changes manually in the last version of Raspbian image from 2019-06-20, because there is not ready for use Mender image for this Raspbian image version?  
How can I use the old Mender image for Raspbian and to update to the new image using Mender Server and Mender Client?
