All these were introduced after the last release?

Not even worth discussing IMHO, just remove them.

Fixed.

I think this is a bit more interesting. I worked on calltips for the
Patch Collection, and I think there are some minor changes which would
greatly improve usefulness of the calltips. However, I would prefer to
do this after the release.

Since it is easy to fix...

Looks simple enough, I agree.

Anyway, I think we should commit it.

This is the usual process. I thought that the release would be quicker
if a known process would be used. In general, I think that we could
collect binaries after the source release.
