I had forgotten there was a failing test, as @jck mentioned
he has a fix for it.  Once he creates a PR we will be
good to go with regression tests (I believe).

With the original PR there is a small start to
the documentation in the "What's new" section [1],
but it needs more!  I will look to @jck to
provide some details in the conversion section.

The interfaces need to be added to the manual as well.
Should it have its own section?  Or should it be
sprinkled throughout the manual, e.g. a mention in the
"signal, ports, and concurrency" section [2] and ...?

It sounds like we all agree, we can start working
towards a release.  That is, preparing documentation
and smoothing any rough corners.  The main feature
in this release is *interfaces* MEP107.

Chris
