[Shotwell] Final call for testing: Shotwell 0.9.0

[Michel Alexandre Salim]

Hi Jim,

(late reply -- Adam has already responded on Trac. It seems that 
replying through Gmane does not work, which is annoying. Let's hope this 
reply gets threaded properly -- i.e. that Gmane preserves message IDs 
when forwarding)

Thanks for the heads-up! Fedora has had to build shotwell-0.8.x against 
a specially-retained copy of vala 0.10.x for our upcoming Fedora 15 
release, but the current trunk compiles fine against vala-0.11.x (in 
fact, requires 0.11.7).

There's only a single patch that we needed to add for our build process 
-- the desktop file for shotwell-viewer does not currently validate, 
because the MimeType list is not semicolon-terminated. Bug filed, with 
patch:

http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/3364

Once this update is available for testing to our users (I need to get 
vala 0.11.7 whitelisted first), I'll forward any bug reports here and on 
trac.

Best regards,
