[Telepathy] Announce: telepathy-glib 0.16.0 (a new stable branch!)

[Will Thompson]

The “irrelevant details” release. This is the start of a new stable
branch (which will be spoken of by robot historians of the future in
hushed, reverent voices). We encourage those shipping Gnome 3.2 to track
this stable branch.

Fixes since 0.15.9:

• fd.o#41729: TpChannel now trusts the ChannelType property included in
  the dictionary of immutable properties passed to its constructor.
  Practically speaking, this resolves a race condition where channels
  would sometimes fail to prepare (and hence, conversation windows would
  fail to open). (Guillaume)

• fd.o#41714: TpAccount:normalized-name now refers to XMPP JIDs and ICQ
  UINs, to give examples of what its value means.

Summary of particularly noteworthy changes since 0.14.x:

• telepathy-glib depends on GLib 2.28.0;

• Applications can now define their own features on TpProxy subclasses,
  and can create their own proxy factory classes to automatically create
  their own proxy subclasses.

• There's a bunch of new API to make it easier to work with channels,
  particularly text channels and TpContacts affiliated with channels.

• There is now API on TpConnection for managing the user's contact list,
  at long last! Note that this currently doesn't work with
  telepathy-butterfly and telepathy-sunshine, since they do not
  implement the new, dramatically simpler ContactList D-Bus API.
