On releasing 1.10.0, 'release.py create-tag' failed to bump revisions on the branch [1] and so I fixed the 'STATUS' file manually in r1828869 to say '1.10.1', but I did not notice that 'svn_version.h' also should have been updated. So 'svn_version.h' remained at '1.10.0'.

I used trunk 'release.py'. First I had to fix it [2], following that previous issue [1].

I will take a closer look now. (I'm online now, so we can discuss on IRC for a bit, until we have something definite to report here.)
