xsel: 1.2.0 -> git-2016-09-02
The last xsel release was in 2008. Since then, a number of bugs have been fixed. For example, pasting a large chunk of text (>4000 chars) into chrome would cause the current tab to hang indefinitely. A couple examples in the wild: https://github.com/kfish/xsel/issues/14 https://github.com/kfish/xsel/issues/13 https://github.com/kfish/xsel/pull/16 https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=515401 https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/3116 https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/4719
