(I'm not sure about the delegate bug, it may or may not be in bugzilla – but I
won't waste my time reporting bugs
that nobody is going to fix anyway. Feel

It's quite telling that you accuse me of trolling rather than addressing any
of the actual issues I've raised. I've fixed several bugs in the

We are SURE that it was and it IS production ready. We started the
project approx. 2-3 years ago (vala 0.22 on Ubuntu 14.04 I think) and it
is constantly growing while implementing new fe
