libfolks 0.4.0 — Nobody wants songs about candy
========================================================================
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!

The 0.4.x series is API and ABI stable and corresponds to the Gnome 3.0
release. New feature development (and potentially API and ABI breaks)
will continue in the 0.5.x series. Only critical bug fixes will be
back-ported to 0.4.x.

For more information, see the Folks wiki page:
