Some background-information:

The target is the version in which we aim to get this problem fixed. In
this case this means that version 0.9.12 can't be released if this bug
is not fixed. So we also have a nice list of bugs that has to be solved
before a version can be released.

About the versions: if the last digit is an even value, it's a
stable/published release. So 0.9.10 is released, and will never change,
ever.

But the developers are working in an ongoing version, which changes
every day. Those versions have odd last numbers. Thus after the moment
that 0.9.10 was released, the developers were working on version 0.9.11.
This version is maintained using SVN, every patch gets a 'revision'-
number.

Bug 1227 is solved in revision 8004. Thus all versions with a revision
number higher then 8004 must contain this patch. The revision number of
version 0.9.10 is 7919, thus this fix is not in that version.

Current SVN/0.9.11 version has revision 8211. It's available as a
snapshot or via SVN.

Thus the fix will be released in the first 'stable' version that comes
out, or in the unstable svn-versions.
