Good for both!

This surprise me. I was believed that final UI building would be

I'm agree this is important.

Just one more comment. I think would be better to keep release on 0.1.8.
Why? just because of the future libtool versioning system. Remember that
when we switch to the libtool system, we must start from 0.0.0. The
question is, what we will do with the current 0.1.x series? I was
thinking on just skip this series and jump to 0.2.x series (0.1.x would
became like a devel series, which exactly was it is). This way there
would be no confusse with people using old packages.

Other possibility would be to introduce libtool versioning right now,
but I think is not the moment yet. Remember the current:revision:age
scheme of libtool (which is reflected on the package number). 'current'
must be incremented every time you change an actual API function, and
that will happen for a while on libvisual, so we will have
libvisual-10.0.4 really soon :-)


Bye,
Duilio.
