I filed bug #33 despite it sounding like closed bugs #13 and #14 because Fedora has the "latest" version 1.2.0... but after puzzling over this project it seems it's been at version 1.2.0 for 11 years. This makes it impossible to figure out what git commit of xsel I'm running without excavating the build history of my distribution's package (Fedora xsel-1.2.0-24.fc30.src.rpm).
Related problems:
ChangeLog has nothing in it since release 1.0.0 also in 2008.NEWS is 0 lengthrelease_notes is unchanged since 1.2.0 in 2008 despite over 50 commits.
It would be great if these could be cleaned up before the next release (issue #26). I think to update the version you change the line
AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE(xsel, 1.2.0)
in configure.ac, but I could be wrong since the install instructions are broken (issue #23).
