The next release is 1.14.4 btw.  Odd release numbers are reserved for
devel snapshots.

As far as timing goes, I am going to focus on reviewing and pushing
cairo patches for a few weeks, then push a release after.  So I'm
figuring 1.14.4 may be in the July-ish timeframe.

Meanwhile, if there are any further Mac related changes you guys are in
consensus that you want included, make sure to get patches in to me
shortly.
