0.9 will be released soon (a day or two). There is one kink in it that
I'm working on right now that I hope to get into it. The current devel
can try to cast things in the wrong order if the dependency tree gets
more than 2 deep.
The 0.9 series should basicly be bugfixes. 0.8 was all about getting the
things in that we wanted and trying not to leave it badly broken too
long ;) So, there shouldn't be the new breakage in it.
