Changes since v0.8:

– Fixed compilation for GCC 4.7 (fixes this Debian bug). Thanks to Dean Evans for letting me know.

Or from Gitorious, but the source in Gitorious might change at anytime, so for v0.5, it’s better to get it from Qt-apps.org

Also, if you’re a Slackware user, somebody from Slacky.eu prepared a package:
