 We discussed doing regular releases from master, and Jeremy suggested
 (sensibly) that we just do them whenever there's a stable release. I
 completely spaced that plan, nor was I looking at the Google X.org
 calendar.
 
 In any case, here's the current state of master. It's missing a pull
 request from alanc -- there were a couple of build failures in that
 which I've replied back about and I expect that'll be fixed shortly.
 
 For those interested in helping out, here's the 1.12 release tracker.
 
 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40982
 
 Anyone interested in helping clean up the release is encouraged to take
 a look at the outstanding bugs there.
 
 There's a slight snag about the 1.12 release schedule. I'm going biking
 in New Zealand next February, leaving on the 9th and not getting back
 until March 1st. So, we can either have the release done before I leave,
 or wait until I get back. It seems like the former might work a bit
 better, but it would mean pulling the release in to Feb 8th or so.
 
 Anyone have an opinion on the matter?

We probably won't get X Input 2.2 done if the release is moved forward to
Feb 8th. What's the date for the merge window end?

Cheers,
  Peter

 If we followed the 1.11 schedule, the non-critical bug window would
 close three weeks earlier (Jan 18), and the merge window two months
 before that (Nov 18), which is now nine days past...
 
 If you think X Input 2.2 is nearly ready for merging , I'd say we should
 go for it and get that merged by Christmas, then plan on closing the
 non-critical bug window in the first week of February and then finish
 the release in the first week of March.
 
 If you don't think X Input 2.2 will be ready by then, we should probably
 just close out the merge window earlier, and plan on getting the release
 out the door by the time I go biking.

I think Christmas is realistic for the merge. We're quite some way there,
but pointer emulation and the resulting grab hilarity is still missing
(Chase has worked on this while I was away but I haven't looked at the
current state yet)

Cheers,
  Peter

I'd say we should go for it then. I'll plan on checking my inbox for
critical patches while I'm on my bike trip, but we haven't had a lot of
patches in that window in the past, so I don't expect things to back up
much.
