Great, thanks for the confirmation.

Another issue, we already briefly talked about and which is related to
0.12 is the removal of libtracker-client.

I know that e.g. totem 3.0.x ,  gtk+ 3.0.x and nautilus 3.0.x have
been updated to use libtracker-sparql-0.10.
Not yet ported are totem 3.x and gtk+ 2.0.
Even if gtk+ 2.0 is more or less in maintenance mode, it will most
likely be around for some time to come, so it would be great if it got
the same tracker search backend as gtk+ 3.0

Also, will libtracker-sparql change the soname from -0.10 to -0.12 or
will it remain backwards compatible? If not, what is the plan for the
apps/libs I mentioned: Will they be updated to support both versions
or 0.12 only?

Cheers,
Michael
