I tested and applied all of them.

I looked through all the patches in version 3.6.2-0ubuntu11~ubuntu13.04.1 .
They seemed to either be backports from git, already been comitted by
Jeremy in his May git spree, or redundant with stuff already committed
differently.
Though I'd like a Ubuntu person to reconfirm that. :-)

Well, you have one now. :-) The announcement just went out.

I spent a day testing every patch and throwing every conceivable test at
it. While I'm pretty sure we are not bug-free, AFAICT no new regressions
have popped up now. So let's ship it ! ^^

Seriously, as a base for distribution work this should be an
improvement. But I hope you guys will not leave me hanging and report
bugs and send in patches aplenty.


I'll spend a few hours relaxing now (and maybe jhbuilding Gnome 3.10 for
relaxation ^^) and then will look at building an experimental 3.8 .deb
package. Though I'd rather you guys beat me to it. :)

With kind regards,
  Philipp
