FYI - I repeated the same verification of the v96-0001 patch as I did
previously for v95-0001

- The v96 patch applied cleanly and all build / testing was OK.
- The documentation also builds OK.
- I checked the v95-0001 / v96-0001 differences and found no problems.
- Furthermore, I noted that v96-0001 patch is passing the cfbot.

LGTM.
