  If you were paying attention, everyone is getting the plugin crash,
myself included. I assume we missed this as most just do "make install"
and not "make install install-plugin". But yes, this is a definite blocker.

  While having buildbot run make check is a good idea, way too often we
forget to install the plugin and test it for browsing.

  I believe it's a bug in the patch that added support for executing the
JavaScript side of ExternalInterface.

  Author of which code ? Dropping all of EI is downright silly, and not
exactly a trivial change.

  Either way, I gave up getting the release out for the Fedora and
Ubuntu code freezes. They'll have to grab it as a future update. While I
do appreciate all this last minute testing and bug fixing, it really
needed to have happened several weeks ago...
