+  <para>As ever there are new facilities and numerous bug-fixes.  A major part of
+  this release is the removal of a number of memory leaks and over use
+  of memory.  Naturally these changes are all but invisible, just a
+  smaller memory foot-print.
+
+  Note that we track bugs and requests for enhancements via the github
+  issues system, and these had a significant affect on this release.</para>
