It's over 1AM again, and I'm still not finished with Gnome 2.28 review. I've spent quite some time this weekend and tonight looking at what was wrong with gnote, gnome-system-monitor, gparted and a few other c++ apps suddendly starting to crash after I updated glib on Friday. Turns out something in the mm stack is doing something wrong so I filled Gnome bug #598209.
Updated to epiphany-2.28 since I got sick of epiphany-2.26 crashing when I wanted to make it remember a new password. Turns out it's not as nice as I would have thought a nearly two years efforts would be. Lots of problems where loading of a page would stop in the middle of the process. I had to install firefox to fill bug reports and access the pages that fails. That's quite a regression but upstream is now aware of it through Gnome bug #598115. Hopefully it'll be fixed for Gnome 2.28.1.
I also spent some time cleaning up unneeded revisions in tree since I had to occupy myself when building all those c++ bindings. So where are we now, a bit less than 41 packages to go for review and about 80% of completeness on my gnome 2.28 status page.

I went back to 2.26 that, even with some known bugs, works better for me. But I think that would be interesting to try to put epiphany-2.28.x as soon as possible in main tree as hardmasked for letting people to test new backend (and webkit in general) and report bugs, hoping epiphany-2.30 get better
It's only a suggestion of course, feel free to know what you prefer :-)
Thanks a lot
