[Gambas-user] Gambas 3.5.4 and the Stable PPA

[Sebastian Kulesz]

Gambas 3.5.4 has just been pushed to the new repository. You can add it
executing:

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gambas-team/gambas3

If you have the previous PPA added, this one will just supersede it and
update Gambas using the new packages. If you are in a production
environment, do not update just yet.
For this reason, if you do update, please leave some feedback saying if it
is working as expected or if something is broken.

I want to thank those who proposed to help me. I was able to set apart some
time to work on this though, but thanks a lot anyway! :)


PS: I will be adding a Lucid build later today or tomorrow.
