Thanks for the links. Unfortunately I had to attempt to use a not tested 
vala version because 0.10 and 0.12 are being removed from the archive. I 
hope to be able to upload 0.12.x to unstable soon, but I need some more 
time for the Release Team to give us a time frame for this to happen. 
Understandable. Â I think the best path forward for you guys will be to upload 0.12.x to unstable as soon as you can.

I really wish we had released Shotwell 0.11 to build with Vala 0.14, but we delayed too long in that release cycle before switching to Vala 0.13.x and it would have been too risky to switch at the last minute. Â We won't make that mistake again; Shotwell 0.12 builds with the current Vala (0.16) and future Shotwell versions will build with current Vala versions as well. Â Cheers -
