When I was releasing the last beta, I wrongly assumed that the version could be set to 1.9.0
That would however prevent us from being able to release another release candidate. Luckily the n-v-r in the Fedora builds is fine, so this only affects the nightly builds.
Attached is a patch that reverts the version number to 1.8.97. I'll also fix the packages in our nightly repo.
