Well, thanks for the kind words. I'm trying my best by building our 
library every night in the hope that this will catch regressions as soon 
as possible (about 50 of my PRs come from this library). 

Alas,
- I can't get mainline to compile the lib since about mid-December, due to
  a changing set of regressions.
- I can't build with 3.3 either since about the same time due to a 
  regression introduced by Kriang and not fixed for a month or so (I think 
  he just sent the patch today).

I'd like to test more, but this prevents me from it. The inability to 
compile the lib also means that I have no clue whether middle- and 
back-end changes introduced in the meantime (in particular the 
basic-improvements branch) had any adverse effects.
