Just some quick notes. First of all, thanks to mruwek for getting a new 0.7.4
ebuild into the Gentoo sunrise overlay. I don't know if he's going to follow it,
but he put in the initial effort and has the ability to. Regardless, thanks for
being so prompt and helping me out (it's been awaiting moderation for a couple
of days, but it's now in the overlay proper).
Also good news is that 0.7.2 was synced into Ubuntu Karmic and while I would've been happier with 0.7.4 (the Debian package hasn't even updated though, so I understand), the important point is that 0.7.2 is 100% compatible with 0.7.4 so that after Karmic becomes the default install, Ubuntu users won't have to be constantly shepherded through an upgrade process. The reason I bring it up is that Jaunty is still running 0.5.7 which is not only configuration incompatible, but also disk incompatible with >0.6.x and it sucks, but at the same time I won't continue to support legacy changes (yes, my friends, there is a reason that the first number in the version is a zero) because one distro is frozen a year in the past.
Lastly, I'd like to encourage anybody with suggestions for future ideas to submit a bug (or use any other form of contact) to go ahead and suggest it. I consider Canto to be fairly featureful, but ideas for improvements are always welcome.
Have fun! Submit bugs!
