Hi, does this mean you'll be dropping support for Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric) in the next update? Taking a peek into the current repository I see Oneiric just has valac-.14 (I think this is the vala we're all talking about) and Precise has .16. Going further and looking at Yorbas PPA for Shotwell I see that only Shotwell itself is being maintained in there. Unless this changes it seems 11.10 users will either have to grab vala by themselves or live with an outdated version of Shotwell.
