Hi Michel,

Yes, please -- GNOME 3.10 needs the new Vala.

I'm back from GUADEC and going to work on bringing the GNOME stack up to
date in rawhide. Looks like we're behind on some 40 modules or so. I
have today and tomorrow set aside for this so if you could build the new
vala now, I can help deal with the fallout from the libvala soname bump.

Thanks for the careful approach and sending out the email before
updating to 0.21, much appreciated!
