Hello,
I am planning to release tomorrow the v4.2.8 out of branch 4.2 to mark the end of official packaging for 4.2.x series. From now on, the focus will be 4.4.x and 4.3.x as stable branches.
I just backported what I found relevant from branch 4.3 to 4.2 -- if anyone finds some other commits that need to be backported, reply to mailing lists.
Cheers, Daniel
