I'm running myth 0.26 from packaged binaries on Centos 6 and there are
compatibility issues with Qt if I upgrade.  So, I have to wait for that to
get sorted out.

It did not elaborate on what would be missing.

which was released about the same time as 0.21 ended in May 2011. Frankly

been out a year now already - and is not bleeding edge. Support for 0.25
ended a year ago. In my opinion it is more than unreasonable to be
demanding support for 0.21.
