Thank you!  I wasn't alone :-) We have motivated and skilled hackers
going as far as swapping hard drives in their laptop to reproduce hard
to debug problems like in [0], which is amazing!  Thanks to all who are
debugging and fixing things, it helps tremendously (in many ways,
including keeping in good spirits!)

I have a couple of changes on top of my head; I intend to lay them down
in NEWS as soon as the version-1.4.0 branch I've been refining with more
integrated bits and last minute updates is ready for one last
(hopefully) big rebuild.  For sure I'll have to survey the git log as
I'm sure I've lost track of many great things that went in also.

Thanks,

Maxim
