[Qgis-developer] Official QGIS crashes on startup: EarthBeat, ValueTool plugins?

[Bruno Combal]

Dear core-developpers,

I'm developing the EarthBeat plugin, one of those that seem to crash with the next QGIS release (I could not try myself).
Can you (core-developers) reach an agreement about the libraries that will be maintained in QGIS that 
we can use in replacement of PyQwt5? I mean something you plan to support on long term?

thanks in advance for your recommendations and support,

Bruno
