Yep -- Most of the changes that have gone in lately have been bug fixes,
that folks have had living in personal clone repositories for a fairly long
while. But a more central "next" branch sounds like a good idea. Somewhere
to collect all the different changes together from all the other repos out
there, so we all know what needs testing before merging into main.
Or are the git tags good enough for now, given the traffic of incoming
changes isn't enormous (yet ;) )? eg. the "official" tag is pointing to the
"1.23.1" tag, so anything added since then needs checking.
What do people think, any opinions on how it should be done?

That looks fine to me. If you're building from the head though, I think one
of Grissiom's changes fixed that xsel problem. It builds for me now without
the "--without-xsel". YMMV... :)
