I am going to update libchamplain from 0.2.9 to 0.3.3 in Fedora 11. This involves a change in the soname, but since no other package depends on it I hope it would not be a problem. On the plus side, the GtkChamplainEmbed widget which was earlier separately released has been merged into the libchamplain tarball and we can put in a subpackage. Not to mention that potential Champlain users and developers will find this helpful.
What do you think?
Happy hacking, Debarshi

I've been working on updating libchamplain to 0.3.3 in Rawhide, but until it gets ported to the clutter-0.9 api (or we do a clutter-0.8 compat) it's a no go for now. Regarding pushing this to F11, I really don't think we should, since the only real consumer of libchamplain is Empathy and we won't be pushing a version of it with libchamplain support to F11.
Later, /B

That is also what I was waiting for.

There is a Eye of GNOME plugin too.
and we won't be pushing a version of it with libchamplain support to F11.
So no one is affected by this change. On the other hand, 0.2.x is old and 0.3.x is where the fun is. So atleast some developers would benefit from it and libchamplain-0.3 would also get some testing leading to a better 0.4.x.

Since the are some consumers that could make use of it that I wasn't aware of, it's probably worth it (assuming we also update Rawhide, so we don't have NVR issues).

According to http://live.gnome.org/libchamplain/schedule they can be expected to use Clutter 1.0 only from 3rd August, which is a day before the Alpha freeze.
