           Summary: make a 0.8 stable branch
           Product: Telepathy
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: high
         Component: telepathy-glib
        AssignedTo: telepathy-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: simon.mcvittie at collabora.co.uk
        Depends on: 24115


telepathy-glib has a bunch of pending work that depends on either GIO
(expanding telepathy-glib's dependencies to include GIO), GLib 2.22 (for GNIO),
or just generally deprecating things (_run_ reentrant methods, tp_get_bus
etc.).

To do this, we should first ship telepathy-glib 0.8.0, starting a bugfix-only
0.8.x branch.

Due to the vagaries of symbol versioning, we can't usefully add any ABI in this
branch, so it will be literally bugfix-only - as a result, in practice most
people will carry straight on to 0.9.x, and 0.8.0 is more of a "line in the
sand" than anything else.

This stable telepathy-glib release should claim to implement telepathy-spec
0.18.0, so we should ship that first.
