Hi Ludovic, Do you have time to roll a 1.8.8 release? It would be really great to fix those build errors due to new ltdl and gcc.
NEWS appears mostly up to date, though a crawl through the commit logs yields some that are not yet noted. FWIW, I'm currently working on getting recent 1.9.x additions documented and in the NEWS. I don't think I'll have everything documented by Wednesday though, so I'll poke the NEWS first. Andy -- http://wingolog.org/
