[Xcb] Next Release?

[Arnaud Fontaine]

Hi,

I'm also interested in having libxcb released (mainly for xkb), so here
are some updates about the status of the release.

If no consensus can be reached on this issue, then it could be probably
reverted until then, otherwise we never release. What do you think?

This has been merged.

Done by Daniel Martin but not merged yet:

Should it be merged?


Also, here is a list of patches sent after Uli initial email and which
have not been merged yet (they would be probably worth including in the
release):

What should we do about the others?
