Hi Olivier,

No specific plan right now.

But I agree that it's about time to make a new release.

Before making a new release we need to check for API/ABI compatibility again, and fix stuff which we find there.

In theory, all should be OK because (almost) everything was reviewed and tested.
But in practice it's better to check that and do some final QA before making a release.

There are programs or websites that can do that comparison automatically, as far as I know.
Any volunteers to do that check?
(I'll do it in several weeks or so if nobody else does it.)

I have a business trip next week, so I'll probably not have time to do any XCB work next weekend and the weekend after that.

Cheers,

Chris
