Bug Description

The Basenji 0.8 release available in precise has some nasty bugs that have been fixed in Basenji 0.9 (available in debian unstable).

In particular:

- Frequent crashes because of unstable libextractor 0.5 dependency
- Windows can't be closed in GNOME 3

The 0.9 release has been tested in Basenji's unstable ppa for a couple of month without any bugreports being filled.

Release notes:

Basenji 0.9 mainly brings stability fixes - in particular Basenji's metadata backend, libextractor, has been replaced by taglib#. Being used by popular programs like Banshee and F-Spot for years, taglib# is a very well tested library that reliably serves metadata for image, video and audio files. Even if taglib# chockes on a file, it can't crash Basenji (like libextractor used to do) since it's completely written in managed code.

* Migrated to taglib-sharp
* Migrated to dbus-sharp
* GNOME 3 improvements
* Single binary build for MS Windows
* Updated translations
* Bugfixes

Please note that Basenji 0.9 depends on taglib-sharp 2.0.4 which needs to be synced as well.
