Anjuta 2.0.2, the last release, is of course a buggy version. It was an
'alpha' (aka incomplete) release so that's totally expected. People
shouldn't have used it for anything more than trying-out. I don't know
why debian/ubuntu/fedora picked it up for their official releases.

We have a beta release coming up in next few days that will pave the way
to our 2.x stable line.

Now about including in GNOME 2.18 release, I agree it's probably not
wise to take Anjuta 2.x line for that. Looking at the schedule, we can
at most come up with a beta release and it may not be still be
acceptable for the GNOME release.

We have Anjuta 1.2.4a, the last stable release, that can be considered
for the GNOME devel suite release. Granted it's not as feature filled as
2.x line, but it is stable, has basic interface with glade and devhelp
and no dependencies to gdl/gnome-build. Is there any opposition to use
stable Anjuta 1.2.4a release for the suite?

Thanks.
