Hi,
Back in early January 2019, I proposed releasing X Server 1.19.7 since there
are about 20+ fixes queued in since the previous maintenance release of X
Server 1.19.6 back in December 2017.
I did not see anyone objecting to a new maintenance release, so I will like to
appoint myself to this task.
Personally, I have never been involved in releasing such a large software
package in the past, so I am sure I will need some help in doing this (in fact,
I will ask for help very shortly).
Anyway, X Server is an important piece of a FOSS software stack, so even if it
is a maintenance release, I do not want to mess it up.
If there are other deserving fixes that should be applied before the release,
let me know.
I would imagine that the code should go through a testing phase (1.19.7 RC1,
etc.) since I lack experience in handling such a large software package release.
Assuming everything goes right, I expect an official maintenance release around
end of February 2019 to early March 2019.
Regards,
