Surely not 1.0.9. I'd say that if you want to develop things - "staging"
is most likely to be good choice, especially, if you want to be able to
often feed your improvements back into "staging". [*] But you might
want to start from some better recognizable point, like ex. the
soon-to-be-released 1.1.0.

Definitely. It will save you lots of time.

See latest mails from Chris, with some results. I also had some, but they=

Thanks for pointing this out. That's the cost of monoculture. We all use
Mozilla(-based) browsers :-) Should be fixed now.

I wrote "libart-dev" because on different systems it may be called
differently, though you're right - on debian it is libart-2.0-dev.
I altered that (and added a comment for other distros) in newest version
of this document that will get into staging probably in a few moments.

Cool! :-)

Welcome, and wish you happy hacking!

[*] This requires explanation, that generaly the code flow is such:
Deveper's sandbox =3D> Staging =3D> Bugfree =3D> Trunk.
>From Staging you have daily snapshots, tags on Bugfree are development
releases (ex. 1.1.0 will be such one), tags on trunk are stable
releases (it will take a while before 1.2.0).
