* You don't need to close bugs you forgot to close earlier in the changelog.
  This even messes up version tracking, as the bug will be marked as closed in
  the wrong version. 
* "A fix for #592078 with patch-3 is not necessary so removed it."
  You did not remove the patch but commented it out from series.  This is a
  pain, if you review patch files and then notice that it has actually been
  added commented out.
* The truncation of strlen from size_t to int on strlen in src/GridText.c
  looks bogus to me.  Why is that valid?  How does it help?

Kind regards,
Philipp Kern
