I considered it, but I thought it would be unpolite to "somehow" officially releasing your work without consulting you. And I did it just to match the changes in xextproto, so that build from tarballs will happen without problems. > Adding support for GenericEvents in a patchlevel release doesn't make > sense, > especially considering the version number was already on 1.0.99.1 and you > bumped it back. I thought there were no tarballs with the prototypes already available, but it appears xextproto 7.0.4 already had the prototypes, but no implementation in libXext 1.0.4... > Also, git has this nice feature called branching, so if you desperately > needed > a 1.0.5 release, why didn't you just branch off 9884a41dd028 and > cherry-pick > the fixes over? I hope to not need to do this again soon (release a libfoo due to releasing a minor change to fooproto). But if needing that, branching for a "quick" release would be a better option, so that it would not push other changes, like the addition of Xge.c. > Cheers, > Peter Paulo _______________________________________________ xorg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg
