libfolks 0.10.0 — Room 101
==========================

Libfolks pulls together contacts from any number of accounts supported
by the libfolks backends. This release includes a number of backends,
including Telepathy, evolution-data-server, libsocialweb, Tracker, and
a simple key-file backend.

This is the first in the 0.10.x stable series corresponding to GNOME
3.14. We will continue to maintain API and ABI stability for the
foreseeable future, with the intention of having 0.10.x API compatible
back through 0.6.x. We will make an announcement when we officially
commit to API/ABI stability for the project as a whole.

See the NEWS file for details on every break we made before 0.6.0. In
future releases, we will have example programs that will be kept
up-to-date with the latest API as well.
