libfolks 0.3.4 — I get by with a little help from my friends
========================================================================
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.
See the NEWS file for details on every break we make. In future
releases, we will have example programs that will be kept up-to-date
with the latest API as well.

For more information, see the Folks wiki page:
http://telepathy.freedesktop.org/wiki/Folks

What's new?
===========

Major changes:
* Add folks-inspect tool
* The use of the new LinkedHashSet type in the API may make libgee a

  lineage).

API changes:
* New type: LinkedHashSet, similar to Gee.HashSet, but ordered.
* IMable.im_addresses is now a mapping of string to LinkedHashSet.
* Rename the HasAvatar interface to AvatarOwner
* Rename the HasPresence interface to PresenceOwner

  coding style

  debugging

Dependencies
============
libfolks and depend upon core GNOME libraries (GLib, GIO, etc.), as well

The Telepathy backend also requires a recent release of
