Just to keep the communication open...

Thanks to Alex for fixing the github action issue and merging the
dependabot udpates. I thought I should also review the docs PRs before the
release, as they on first glance looked close to ready, but I was wrong,
there were quite many small things.

Now it's late and tomorrow I have a sailing related errand, so will
continue with release activities on Sunday.
