Another 1.10.x release

[Jeremy Huddleston]

A few days ago, I pulled in a bit of changes into the 1.10 branch.  I know a few distros are using it for their current stable or long-term releases, so I figure it's worth keeping it alive a bit longer.  Is there anything else that I should roll into a final(?) 1.10 release?  This is focused mainly at said distros that are probably maintaining their own patchsets and would like to upstream them.
