I've published 5.9.4 today, thanks to the vast quantity of help from
many people that have contributed patches to the 5.9 branch.  Sorry for
the delay between 5.9.4.rc1 and the final version, but there was a bug
in the TLS support that turns out to be challenging due to multiple
issues.  In the end, we've decided to table the fix until after 5.9.4 to
get this out the door as is for now.

NEWS for 5.9.4:
