Hal 0.4.0 got released. Will it be included in Warty?
Looking at this mail it really looks worth while.

Hi,

A few days ago I released hal 0.4.0 codenamed "Its origin and purpose,
still a total mystery.". It's available here

 http://freedesktop.org/~david/dist/hal-0.4.0.tar.gz

The 0.4.x series will be a stable series, e.g. no new features and only
bugfixes and translation updates. Like the Linux kernel, hal will use
odd minor version number to indicate development status. I want to
branch and open the 0.5.x series when the most important bugs in 0.4.x
is cleaned up.

I've already put in a few fixes to 0.4.0 by now so you might want to
grab HEAD instead.
