Can you clarify this before we go further? :) Whoops! Usually the way that I keep track of my changelogs is by typing the= m in squash! commits, and then leaving them below the patch cutline once I squash everything. It looks like at some point I mistakenly typed V4: on on= e of the squash commits instead of V3: and didn't catch it. So, that comment = is definitely for V3 - not V4 which doesn't exist yet >=20 > > * Add missing Object =3D Self constraint to type bounds for create_hand= le, > > lookup_handle.
