Not needed, I'm aware of the new release, and I'm working on it right now.

I'm unfortunately stuck with a FTBFS due to an internal library, I don't know how much time will take to solve it (properly).

I will upload on my ppa and ask for a backport to precise+ releases in the next few days, like I did for 0.9.19.3 release.
Unfortunately this version doesn't build on arm* and sparc platforms, I don't know how to fix it properly (needs an updated freepascal compiler or to disable fPIC flag)

Well I grew impatient and built 0.9.20.4 from source and overwritten the old package files yesterday a few hours after I posted.
But I will install your packages to test anyway. I like to have the package manager keeping track of everything.
Building from source defeats the purpose of a package manager. You forget where all the files are spread over the file system when you want to uninstall something.
Linux really needs better binary compatibility at the Desktop level so the developers themselves can release a package working in all distros.

please next time for not screwing your system with custom builds try this
instead of "sudo make install"
try
sudo checkinstall make install.

it will install everything as with make install, but before it creates a debian package with those files, so for removing them you will just be able with "dpkg -r name" or whatever you prefer

Thanks for the tip.
I've tested the package from your PPA and its working fine.
