That's pretty annoying, indeed. I'm afraid we can't do much about it though, as it's their choice. The latest FSO-blessed version is 0.9.6.1 which claims to be vala-0.10. We should try update less often then. FWIW, I'm pretty satisfied with the current state and guess the next major update of our vala needs will be when glib 2.26 comes out and we can all move to GDBus.
