[Libguestfs] Next stable release?

Hello, Are there any chances of next stable release appearing soonish? I'm getting pushback from Homebrew maintainers about the massive amount of patching required to build the current stable on Mac, since all the patches have been merged in after last stable. (I'm also getting pushback about the 4GB download of virtual appliance, but as I understand that one is non-optional. Don't suppose there is a chance of making it thin?) -- Margaret
