floating IBusObject). It cause most of C source files been changed. I think
back porting fixes in C code between 1.3 and 1.2 will be more hard. And 1.3
includes the new feature sharing the global engine. It is asked by many
users. So if ubuntu could uses 1.3, it will be better.
BTW, currently all IME development is focus on 1.3 too. So I think ubuntu
will get more benefit, if it use the ibus-1.3. And it is good for upstream
too. it could reduce issues reported for old ibus releases in upstream, and
we could be more concentrative on 1.3 bug fixing and future version
development. And for us IME developers, they does not need upgrade ibus to
1.3 in ubuntu any more.
Wish ubuntu will use the new release. Thanks.

Peng Huang
