 Here are the topics that have been cooking.  Commits prefixed with '-' are

-'maint' is 1.7.11.4. From now on until the final release, no further
-updates, except for the two i18n topics and obviously correct fixes
-to regressions, will be merged to 'master'.
+The series to mark strings for i18n in merge(-recursive), am and
