I went back through the email thread and wrote your changelog for you. 
Not a very good one though.

It would be better were you to write your changelogs, please.

Hi!

This issue is still not fixed in 2.6.26.1 - may be there a way to commit 
it in 2.6.26.2?

Still, the provided patch I got on 07/17/2008 works great ...

Thanks, anyway!

kind regards, Alois
