Re: [ANNOUNCE] libchamplain 0.6

Hi,

Sorry.. this patch was to quickly - I forgot to rebuild the .gi file.
Now the problem is that libmemphis also needs Vala bindings if we want
to build the complete bindings. For now I will try to manually remove
libmemphis stuff and I will deal with this later.

regards, Tomaž
