The current HEAD of the SVN repository is pretty much what will be the 1.0 release that will appear in the download section in a few days.
Also, the new docbook documentation will be imported into the repository as well, as soon as I’ve reread it and figured out if the Makefile can be easily generated by autoconf or has to be shipped as is.
In any case, 1.0.0 will be out next week!

I’ve recently understood that it was a packaging issue: on machines that don’t have Qt installed, image plugins must be distributed with the application (except for PNG that is supported as built-in).

So I’ve repackaged Manitou-Mail 0.9.12 for Windows with the necessary plugins that get installed into an imageformats directory, and re-uploaded the installer:
Manitou-Installer-0_9_12.exe

For users who were concerned by this problem, I suggest they reinstall and report if it still doesn’t work.
