| Hi!
| Did the new version of libXt actually get released?  I can see the bump
| in configure.ac, and I can see the tarball got uploaded, but I haven't
| seen an announcement (although this might just have been forgotten).
| 
| Just want to double check before I start updating packages.
| Thank you!
