Hi,

Here's 0.5.10rc2 and also new hal-info snapshot

http://hal.freedesktop.org/releases/hal-0.5.10rc2.tar.gz
http://hal.freedesktop.org/releases/hal-info-20070831.tar.gz

I'm hoping no big changes will go in before 0.5.10. There will be a PK
0.6 release just before 0.5.10 final; only planning minor additions /
convenience API. Changes from 0.5.10rc1 are below.
