Sorry for the long period of neglect. I'd like to get 4.5.19 out soon now. AFAIK the current state of the git tree is more or less fine as it is. Is there anything either urgent or trivial to fix/merge in floating around? Thanks, Roland -

Hi! I got through some more backlog today. I think what's in cvs now is close to all we should do before 4.5.17 goes out. If there are regressions from 4.5.16 or bugs with simple fixes, please tell me ASAP. If I don't hear objections by the weekend, I'll release 4.5.17 on the weekend or Monday.
