The 1.4.0 version is currently in active development and I'm pushing daily new commits, but I hope it will be done until next weekend and ready for release.

Oops, there is a new issue. I've reported it here: https://github.com/DamirPorobic/ksnip/issues/51

There is an update to the 1.4-alpha that hopefully fixes the right shift issue I reported above. Could this be packaged in Test Repo for further testing?

Dev's comments:
I might have fixed the right shift issue by fixing another issue #52.
I'm bypassing the X11 window manager when using the rect area selection and it seems to be working now. There is still some testing from my side, but it would be nice someone else could test

The 1.3.2 for MX 15/16 is done and the link sent to Tim. I'll check out the new 1.4 for MX17 next.

neither new set has actually made it into our repos yet.
Here's a link to the one for MX 17 if you can't wait.
I tired them in a VM with composting off and they worked for me.

It works, but I'm not sure I like that new X and Y cross hairs thingy for selecting area.

Working for me as well. And I do like the crosshairs. They can be suppressed in the options.
