Hmm, yes, 0.6.1 apps on a 0.6.0 lib will not work when add new function
and I'm quite sure that's not the allowed by the GNOME policy. Let's
drop the API additions from this list, we'll have some more freedom with
0.7.0.

That argument goes for any lib that does bugfix releases, so I'm not too
bothered with it.
