UVF exception request for Beagle 0.2.18

[Nirbheek Chauhan]

Binary package hint: beagle

The current version of Beagle in Gutsy is 0.2.17, and it has been verified to be broken in a few respects such as evolution support (due to API changes). To address these issues, a special bugfix release (0.2.18) was made. This release does not contain any new features and as the name suggests, is purely a bugfix one. A short summary of changes follows:

 * Fix API breakage with the new evolution-sharp (libevolution2.0-cil)
 * Greatly improve indexing overhead with the beagle-build-index tool
 * No longer recrawl directories if an inotify watch can't be setup. This fixes the looping bug of death when the screensaver kicks in.
 * Display a warning in the log if the number of inotify watches runs out.
 * Fix numerous b.g.o bugs such as #463803, #466891 and #463003 (see attached changelog for full list)

The current trunk for beagle maintained by kkubasik[1] has been built and tested on Gutsy, and no regressions were found. All in all, without this update Beagle's evolution support will be essentially unusable.
