Officially we have a feature freeze for 1.1, and we do only want to do bug fixes, because we want to concentrate on 1.3 development. But anyway I'd be interested to see the patches. I'll write some comments to your list, but this is not an "official" statement, maybe Matthias can tell us more. > Here's the list: > > - Some minor build-system tweaks, including one that brings explicit > library linkage in precise line with direct usage.

If it's simple, I'd like to do this in 1.1 as well, but that depends. Is this ABI compatible? > - A safeguard in fl_draw that defaults the font to (FL_HELVETICA, 14) if > it hasn't been set yet.

Most of the > patches are pretty small; the notable exception is the fluid i18n patch. If you could do this (split the patches), I would take a look at them all, but let's wait what Matthias will say. If you would add STR's for 1.1, then we could move them to 1.3 as appropriate or fix them in 1.1. Although, if we know that they won't make it in 1.1, then forward-porting them to 1.3 would be helpful. Do you have a link to the Debian patch as it is now for a first review ?
