* i'm not sure which of our outstanding crash bugs should be considered
fixed by this version; Can someone review and report back?
i've just done a brief review -- i think #656443 (crash on expand stroke) is the only fix that is handled directly by the upstream "release"; i've marked it as such in the changelog in git.
* Upload to unstable or experimental?
I've just used the git packaging of the upstream version to build a new version of my handwriting font. It seems to work fine. I'd like to upload it to the archive for wider testing, but i'd be happy to wait if other folks want to build it and try it out locally first, or try to resolve any of the caveats i mentioned.
What do you think? should i upload? if so, to which archive (unstable or experimental)?
* Review of patchsets we're carrying -- can some of them be pushed
upstream to reduce our divergence?
i just pushed one of our patches (902_fix_optipng_reads.diff) to the upstream mailing list [0]. i'm not sure how many of the others belong upstream. Anyone else see any obvious upstream fixes?
