Yes. The tarballs were rolled out by the Tuesday 1200 GMT extended
deadline I had requested.
 
My apologies. I sent out the regular announce mail to evolution-hackers
and gnome-announce list but I notice neither of them have hit the lists
yet :-(.  Still stuck somewhere b/w my ISP and gnome.org.

Shall watch for this in future. Thanks for pointing out.
(My blog post on the planet gnome feed carried this news though).

Yes. An ABI break in libnotify caused Evolution not to build against the
libnotify that would ship with GNOME 2.13.5. Hence, we had to port it to
the new API and update the dependencies.
