[Vala] Release testing

[Jürg Billeter <j bitron ch>]

Hi all,

I'm planning to release Vala 0.5.2 on Monday evening. As there have been
a lot of changes since 0.5.1, I'd appreciate it if people working on
Vala applications or libraries can do a test run with Vala trunk, so we
can fix regressions before the release.

No incompatible changes in the language have been introduced, however,
more checks have been added. The most noteworthy new check is probably
that the compiler now enforces local variables to be initialized before
being used.

I've uploaded a source tarball[1] to make testing easier in case you
haven't installed 0.5.1 yet.

Regards,
Jürg
