[John Ralls]

Huzzah.

File bug reports, setting the version to 2.7.x--after searching first, of course.

Profiling and memory-checking are best done with Instruments, included with Xcode.

Is there a list of known issues that I should add to if I find things not there?  I don’t want to just add noise, but if I’ve found things that folks aren’t aware of that should not stick around beyond release, I’d like to be noting them.
