libfolks 0.9.8 — No nickel no dime
==================================

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.

The 0.9.x unstable series corresponds to GNOME 3.12 and 3.14, leading
up to a 0.10.x stable series in the near future. We will continue to
maintain API and ABI stability for the foreseeable future, with the
intention of having 0.9.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.
