So I almost applied this version of this patch. For future reference,
please:
- Post new versions standalone, not as a reply
- Do not include version information in the changelog (put it below the
"---" line)
- Provide a more coherent changelog; the one above does not say what is
actually going on here.
- CC the maintainer (me).
Thanks,
jon
