Jeff Stedfast fixed this; we now support GMime 2.2.x and 2.4.x in Tomboy 0.15.0.

We will definitely have the following new version dependencies:

mono 1.9.1
gtk+ 2.12 (2.14 conditionally supported for some new API)
gtk-sharp 2.12

I'd like to require Mono.Addins 0.4 just because it is more stable,
but fairly recent distros like openSUSE 11.0 and Ubuntu 8.10 only have
0.3.  Since this is more about stability than new API, I am
comfortable requiring Mono.Addins 0.3, but recommending Mono.Addins
0.4.  For Windows, however, we have moved to Mono.Addins 0.4 since
Tomboy 0.15.0.

Thanks for everybody's input,
Sandy
