I've packaged the current unstable release 5.3.5 for Debian testing
(squeeze). Do please try it out and tell me how it works for you -
especially if you have an intel graphics card and had problems with
Loch crashing in the past. 

In 5.3.3 textures were disabled in order to have loch run on intel
cards, but at least on this machine I have access to, this problem
seems to have gone away so I have re-enabled it. Hopefully it was a
VT/mesa bug. But I'd like to know how it works for other people. 

And do of course whinge if you see other issues such as documentation
bugs. There does seem to be a problem with Loch and xtherion not
appearing on menus, at least with XFCE, which I need to investigate.
(desktopand application files are present)

The packages are here for the time being:
http://wookware.org/software/therion/

Once feedback is satisfactory these will be uploaded to Debian
experimental and my Ubuntu PPA.

Martin/Stacho - the new v3.0 source format (quilt patches) makes it a
lot easier to see what's been changed. Do please peruse the patches as
several of them could usefully go upstream. 
10changelog.patch 
30doc-fixes.patch 
35loch-manpage.patch 
40samples-fixes.patch 
82-nolang-segfault-fix.patch 

Note that I have nobbled a
lot of "warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to
‘char*’" by using -Wno-write-strings but these should probably be
fixed properly. There are also a few build warnings remaining:
