 Why did you remove the part that explains exactly this?

 Quoting the x11vnc website [1]:

-----
As of Sep 2011, the x11vnc-0.9.13.tar.gz source package is released (recommended
download). [...] Also, you can get a copy of my latest, bleeding edge
x11vnc-0.9.14-dev.tar.gz tarball to build the most up to date one.

 However, I didn't actually read that website before, I just read Vicente's
comment. If I had read the website, I would have noticed that it refers to a
-dev tarball, and that at the time it was expected that a real release would
happen end of 2011.

 With that in mind, I think we can conclude that the website is simply out of
date and should be relied on, and that there is no reason not to bump to 0.9.14.

 Arnout
