Please consider following in the future:

- Short summary was misleading. It should fix loud and clear as
  it fixes a real regression. It should not be called an improvement.
- Add the fixes line.
- I would recommend to submit fixes separately from rest of the series
  so that they get more quickly noticed.

This will make both your and my life easier...
