There are several features and fixes. I released #279 a few weeks before
the current freeze began; however it was fairly large, and according to
the package maintainer beyond his ability to inspect it. Direct access
to my source archives would not change that assessment, however I've long
been cooperative about digesting changes to assist packagers in applying
specific changes.
Notwithstanding that problem, there are a few fixes which the package
maintainer should have noted. The freeze began June 30, according to
http://www.debian.org/News/weekly/2012/13/#freeze
Patch #280 - 2012/06/24
* add null-pointer checks to input-method caching added in
[313]patch #277 to fix a problem in the exposure code, when
deselecting a window (report by Kriston Rehberg).
(the packager applied a _part_ of this - I noted in #685458 that its
change did not address the report which I received, and my followup
with a patch was ignored)
Patch #279 - 2012/05/10
* amend fix for Debian #650291 in [314]patch #277 changes to account
for different data returned by vnc4server (Debian #670638).
* correct macro definition used for testing modes used in ANSI/DEC
request-mode controls introduced in [316]patch #262.
* add a null-pointer check in OkPasswd macro to fix a problem in
resize with Fedora 17 and a serial console (report/patch by Daniel
Drake).
