 The next step is for Simon to prepare a new bmake release, which usually
 happens within one week.
 
 Then, Jonathan can test the new bmake release in a bulk build, to ensure
 that nothing gets broken since bmake-20240909. The notable changes
 between these versions are:
 
 - In parallel mode, an error in one job doesn't abruptly abort the other
 jobs anymore, instead they are finished and cleaned up properly.
 
 - Instead of "Malformed conditional", the error message is now "Variable
 %s is undefined" where appropriate.
