Re: [Lasi-devel] Release status

[Alan W. I. <ir...@be...>]

I thought it was time for another update about the planned release of 1.1.0.

We are still in hold because of the valgrind warnings about severe memory
management issues (invalid read, etc.).  This morning I confirmed those
issues exist even for the old 1.0.5p1 autotools version of libLASi. The common
denominator seems to be a build with a modern version of libpango (e.g.,
Ubuntu Dapper in my case). There are no such valgrind issues when you link
libLASi against older versions of libpango (e.g., the Debian stable
version).

I have just asked for some help about this issue on the gtk-i18n-list
mailing list where libpango issues are discussed (see my post at
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-i18n-list/2007-March/msg00012.html). I
have no idea whether I will get a helpful reply or not, but it is certainly
worth asking since we haven't yet been able to solve this issue on our own,
and the experts there may know of a simple "well-known" solution.
