Shouldn't that be 1.3.0 since we already released 1.2.0?

Good catch, thank you.

I think I'd prefer to write 1.2.1, as the next version number will be at least
that, unless we know that the next version number used is going to be 1.3.0?

Like xorg-macros, if we're adding a new macro, then the next version number
will be incrementing the second part of the version (1.x.0), since the macros
we use for checking minimum version only check the first two parts of the
version number tuple, using the convention that in major.minor.patch releases,
patches fix bugs, minors add new APIs, majors break compatibility.

Thanks for the explanation, that makes perfect sense. Is there something I need
to do after applying this patch to ensure the next release is given the number
1.3.0 rather than 1.2.1? :-)

Bump the version number in configure.ac to 1.2.90 or .99 I guess.

Revised patch attached.
