Kudos go entirely to Sven Mascheck here, who not only has a copy of the release notes on his webpage, but also pointed this out to me. > > If I had to decide (or nothing happens on these matters), I'd apply > > the first, think some more about the second, skip the third, and go > > ahead with 2.59d. > > Sounds good, except I don't think you need to think more about the > second, and that we can just go ahead as-is.
