would it be possible to do it a bit earlier? 10th September is GNOME
hard code freeze and 
19th GNOME 2.20 is out. We are going to break the API in the glib
bindings again (my fault, I wanted to do it before rc2 :-/) so I want
evince 0.10 (to be released for GNOME 2.20) to depend on poppler 0.6
(more API stable).

I know that GNOME schedule can't decide when poppler is released. If
it's a problem, we can consider split the bindings up, like DBus already
did[1]. This way we could, for example, do a release for poppler-qt or
poppler-glib because of an API change or because it's needed for the
project, even if there aren't significant changes in poppler core.
