Neato!

Those are quite significant features, definitely worth another
release. Is there some way to mark this kind of stuff on the TODO
list? Right now things are marked, essentially, "might get done
eventually," and "handled in the coming release." Maybe some marker
like "slated for version m.n" would be good. :)

Also, is there a separate patch queueueue for "things that didn't make
the upcoming release?"

Cheers,
