[Xastir] Propose a new Xastir release?

Hello Everyone,

This is a common issue with stable applications that live out of their 
SCM system and don't create official releases very often. Even with an 
official release being published, most distro package managers are just 
volunteers and they aren't always on top of when something new is 
available.  Regardless, step one is to get a new Xastir version released 
and then we can pursue with the Debian, Fedora, etc. package managers.

Do we think the current state of Xastir is worthy of an official release?
