Ok, let's try something else:

- Does anyone mind having a xcb-proto minor release with just the RANDR 1.5
patch included?

- Are there any other patches in xcb-proto which you would like to have in a
release?

(- Will distros rebuild their packages against a newer xcb-proto if there is no
libxcb release at the same time?)



Looking through "git log --reverse -p 1.11..", here are some suggestions for
patches to include:

    xinput: ChangeFeedbackControl: add missing pad

    xinput: SetDeviceModifierMapping: fix length of pad

There are many more align pad patches which might be safe to include, e.g. all
the "add align-pad at end"-patches.
Opinions?

    randr: add RandR 1.5 requests and data types

    Fix examples which use xcb_connection instead of the correct xcb_connection_t.


Also, the shortlog since the last release is huge. We really should also work on
a new major release. What's missing? Is anyone working on the missing bits?

Cheers,
Uli
