Hi, thanks @ofTheo for putting up this list.
There are two PR I did, which need to be reviewed by someone else. to me these look good.
As these are related to ofxGui, I would like to add a few more improvements to it: which I've listed in this issue. Some of these could be included in this update, that's why I am saying it here.

Can you add this tiny improvement ? I think that @elliotwoods was asking for something similar elsewhere.

This PR is more or less ok, but needs testing and a double check by someone else. I've posted some comments in the PR.

0.11.1 should be a patch version, no new features, I usually create a new patch branch and set it as default while we are doing patch releases. any new features can go to master for 0.12

[arturoc]

about ofEventListeners: added size() method. #6022 non of the channel apis i've used in other languages have such a method. there's usually a bounded version of the channel that blocks or fails if the channel is full and makes more sense than querying the size since the back pressure management relies on the channel and not on the user. in any case i wouldn't implement it cause we can't warranty we can keep it if we move to a diferentt implementation

[ofTheo]

sounds good @arturoc - I imagine we can use patch-release which already exists.
I can remove anything feature related from this issue.

[ofTheo]

So I think we could be pretty close to doing this 0.11.1 release.

I'll try and address as many of the small issues left in this list above this week. Anything that doesn't have a clear fix or isn't reproducible I will remove.

Hi Theo, #6471 caused the issue #6602.
I think we should fix #6602 (I have a fix proposal) if we want #6471 to be in this release. But I think, as it resembles more of a "new feature", this could be removed from the patch release and leave it to 0.12. What do you think?

[roymacdonald]

Hi. To me it sounds more as a missing feature rather than a new one. I would implement it now, so this issue is closed and no need to remember in the future adding it for the 0.12 release.

Thanks everyone! 🎉
