[mh] Are we due for another major release

There has been quite a bit of activity in MH recently , notably on @INC, 
HTML and MQTT devices I was wondering if there is an appetite for 
another major release?

If so I have created a number of utility subroutines  that others may 
find useful, please see below. I expect that at least some of these are 
already buried in the MH core, but I wonder if we should do a call to 
the community for contributions before we do another release

Regards
