    Both menu-cache and LibFM are under my umbrella. Currently all found
bugs in menu-cache (from all sources - tracker, IRC, this list, my own
testing) are fixed and version 0.5.0 is released. The version 1.2.0 of
the LibFM is in development and all bugs and most of feature requests
will be fixed when 1.2.0-beta is released. And since constant development
means a lot of changes in LibFM GIT it may be hard to fix anything in it
for now, especially since most of things are fixed already in GIT. :)
