Issues closed in the 0.11 development cycle

In this cycle, we closed a total of 511 issues, 226 pull requests and 285 regular issues; this is the full list (generated with the script tools/github_stats.py). We should note that a few of these were made on the 0.10.x series, but we have no automatic way of filtering the issues by branch, so this reflects all of our development over the last two years, including work already released in 0.10.2:
