Thanks ;-)

Actually my intention regarding fixes are:

 - never mention follow-up fixes to new topics merged since v1.7.8 at all;

 - omit mentioning trivial fixes that not many people would be bitten by
   and actually be hurt in real life (i.e. typo in an error message); and

 - make sure as many fixes are covered in "Fixes since v1.7.8" section.

So "keep the list short" is only one-third of the motivation.
