The Release for the 6/June target release is now available.

It has been imported as 'latest' into the Mer community OBS and is available
from releases.merproject.org :

  http://releases.merproject.org/releases/0.20130605.1/

This release provides some useful fixes. scratchbox2 is split to support x86_64
targets; droid container support work in uid/gids; gcc now allows for -fuse=gold
for qtwebkit, qemu has fixes for multithreaded-multicore qemu crashes; the
sensorfw plugin is now merged; qtmultimedia has gstreamer media services;
qmf failed login logic was improved.

As mentioned this release of Mer does make some uid/gid changes:
* default user range is now 100000 to 199999 (previously 1000 to 6000 as per
most linux)
* audio uid has changed from 63 to 1005
* nobody uid has changed from 99 to 9999

The reason for this is that some wise men in android decided hardcoding a wide
range of UIDs in hw support bits is cool and of course used ones that conflicts
with sane linuxen. The nature of Mer's target devices means that it makes sense
to accept this "design" decision.
It's an invasive change and you should be careful when upgrading devices.
