There wasn't really much in the way of "bug fixes" in this release.

Upstream have shipped lots of tiny changes that aren't really interesting in discrete versions, sort of like somebody decided to turn "git commit" into a "publish this version" command.

However, there is a tiny change that does do *something*, it seems, its just not obvious because its not mentioned in the changelog, and its hard to see past the dozens of lines of superfluous change. ( Specifically, at the time you filed this bug, the only interesting change looked to be avoiding credits into the SVG source multiple times )

So in future, please:

1. Try not to file version bump requests within hours (or even days) of versions being shipped, we're aware, typically, and what needs to be done will be done *eventually*

2. Try to ascertain the nature of the bug fix you're asking for when you do ask for a version bump, so we both know what specific change you're hoping for. This will avoid people assuming versions going up means something, and will encourage you to work out what useful change needs replication.
