Yes, but the changelog is atrcious:

 - title should describe the purpose, not the implementation

 - CPU is spelled 'CPU' once, then 'cpu' _in the same sentence_!

 - typos

 - spelling

 - the last sentence doesn't even parse ...

Still it's already at V4 and comes with two signoffs and what amounts to a 
maintainer Ack??

Thanks,
