libfolks 0.1.15 — Chromium plated boiling metal
===============================================
Libfolks pulls together contacts from any number of accounts supported
by the libfolks backends. This release includes a Telepathy backend
complete enough to power Empathy and a key file backend to allow contact
linking. We would like to include
additional backends (especially evolution-data-server), so let us know
if we can help!

libfolks is not yet API or ABI stable, so please proceed with caution.

For more information, see the Folks wiki page:
