Bibletime compiles against trunk, I'm sure, as part of its testing matrix.
But I don't believe it uses trunk for releases. I'm fairly sure your work
on Bishop is the only one that leverages unreleased code other than the
couple of immediately necessary patches that Karl mentioned I grabbed for
Fedora repos.

Please, let's get our heads together to figure out how the release process
needs to go for 1.9 and let's make it happen!
