There weren't any DB changes as far as I can remember... Should you
test with your current DB without a backup... NEVER :)

A bug report would be ideal.  Please cc me on it though.  For whatever
reason I don't get the emails when an f-spot bug is filed.

Building f-spot from git master right now can be a bit tricky. Make
sure you read the README file.  There are also new dependencies that
I'm not checking for yet (I plan to change that soon).

I'm also always on irc, so if you have questions on building I can
probably help out there as well. (gimpnet #f-spot)
