Hi Francis,

I agree with your reasoning; the changes justify a new release. However,
that's not the only reason a release is due.

Speaking as a packager, frequent minor updates with fewer features are
better than occasional major updates with a big feature list. SVN or
development versions of programs rarely get tested, which means if
something breaks it often goes unnoticed until the next release.
Investigating the breakage is much easier when the number of changes
since the last release is small, and that directly correlates with
frequency of releases. (Not that I expect this new release to be
broken... but then again, I haven't tested from SVN to be sure...)

So I'm saying that not only is a new release due (last tarballs were
uploaded to SourceForge in 2010!), it would be justified even without
the changes you mentioned. :)

Thanks!
