Vala 0.10.0 released

Actually, there are two announcements today.
Let's start with the interesting one,

Vala 0.10.0 has just been released!

download at: http://download.gnome.org/sources/vala/0.10/

Changes since 0.9.8 include
* Port GIR parser and writer to GIR version 1.2.
* Update GLib bindings to 2.26 branch.
* Bug fixes.

That's it. Nothing too fancy for this round release, so you'll enjoy it mainly if you are interested in bindings or a bug that affects you has been fixed.
Also, if you didn't know already, you probably just noticed that 1.0 is not next in line. That's right and I don't think we should expect it anytime soon. There's still so much to do, you know.


Let's get to the other announcement then, no less important..
Blogger SUCKS!
No, seriously, should we switch to wordpress or some other blog hosting? Actually, the first ever comment on this blog was a request that we move there. I didn't pay much attention back then. So what do you think? What is your experience?
