Time for a 4.0.1 bug fix release?

All,

Version 4.0.0 was released in May, and it is now nearly November, i.e., 6
months later.

Using hg log -b stable -r release-4-0-0:: > stable.log

There are just 74 changesets, but quite a few important fixes for
segfaults, mis-calculated results, and regressions, as well as just
documentation.  It would be nice to have some sort of fix for the crashes
that lots of people seem to be having with OpenGL graphics, but I don't
think we have an answer there so it isn't worth delaying.

My vote is for a 4.0.1 bug fix release in November.

Cheers,
Rik
