Yep, that's all I have in mind.

This one I committed already.

I'm planning to finish this today still. Assuming no new issues are
found, it won't take long to finish the patch, and then it needs an hour
or two of testing. If there's any new issues, it will have to wait 'till
tomorrow since after a few hours I won't be able to think straight anymore.

I'm not familiar with the release process so I don't have an opinion on
what to do about the release.
