ok, I forgot about that...

Maybe you can keep the feature list for 0.5.8 and add a temporary
comment that some of the features are broken but fixed in 0.5.8?
And then do 0.5.8 next week when 2.3.0 comes out. (I will go on
vacation after next week and won't be able to do much more than
reading email for a while, but there are other people with commit
access that might be helpful.)
