I think we should set things in motion to make a 4.10.0 release :)

This list of patches is too big, and most of the patches we pushed
to master are bugfixes anyway.  There are a few more bugs I'd like
to squash before making the release though: there's the Windows
rename-file issue, and there are a few outstanding patches from Evan
that I'd like to at least take a look at.

Hopefully then we can focus some more on 5.0!

Cheers,
Peter
