json-glib 0.7.6 is not released yet, so do you suggest to downgrade pidgin-facebook-chat?

I don't know, I just wanted to report the fact that it did not work !

It means pidgin-facebookchat upstream uses an unstable release??

http://live.gnome.org/JsonGlib shows 0.6.2 as beeing the latest stable version, but according to http://git.gnome.org/cgit/json-glib/commit/?id=a5bea353dead0bd69f9664df86050fc829a2dcd5 there seems to have been 0.7.x versions since November 2008.

The upcoming Ubuntu Karmic uses 0.7.6 since June.

I don't know what's the best thing to do!

0.7.6 is tagged in 2009-08-12, not November 2008.
anyway is an unstable version, I don't like to put unstable packages on official repository.
Gentoo uses 0.7.6 too.

Then we need to at least downgrade until a recent stable version of json-glib is out...
