I do and the code is already in a branch there since Nick offered
to take a look at it. If you don't mind I could go ahead and merge
this to master?
After merging to master I'd like to immediately make a
development release (4.9.0) in order get some attention and
wider testing, then maybe wait two weeks for any incoming bug
reports and finally branch and release a stable 4.10. version.
Does this sound like a reasonable way forward?
