This is the third release in the stable 0.10.x series, and contains an
important security fix to ensure that libgdata verifies TLS
certificates before accepting them. This prevents man-in-the-middle
attacks which use spoofed TLS certificates.

To enable this feature, libgdata needs to be compiled with the
--with-ca-certs configure option to tell it where the system CA
certificate file is.
