Me too.  I was travelling at the time and this got lost in the backlog...

Could you perhaps try to ask upstream and convince them to release a
new version officially?  The last release was more than 2 years ago,
and things like this would merit new bugfix releases.

It's very cumbersome to take random versions from their repositories,
it's not the first time that we add patches that then have to be
disabled, because they are missing changes in other parts, or we keep
shipping after they were removed from the upstream because they were
buggy...


Cheers.
