Thanks for releasing this.

On a slightly related note, I think it would be a good idea to 
branch off 2.072 and start beta testing right away, as it's been 
five months since the last point release, and A LOT has changed 
since then.  I fear that we may see a huge number of regressions 
for this beta cycle because they've just been compounding over 
this time.
