I'm starting a review of the public API changes for 1.7. This is what I intend to do. If you have done or are doing any of these, or think of other things, please say.
* Check that all changes from the 1.6 public API are marked as new or deprecated as appropriate. * Check that new functions have sensible signatures (prototypes) and semantics and seem suitable for being public. * Check that wrapper implementations of deprecated functions look at least vaguely likely to be correct. I'll fix any trivial things, and post separately about anything that looks like it needs more eyes on it. I'm comparing 1.6.17 with trunk@1130950. - Julian
