It was intentional to fix the problem we had with initialisation but not 
to break ABI. There is no API break AFAICS. These functions were not public.

Upon further inspection, you're right. I should be doing 2 things which 
I have not:

  1. Bumping the tracker_interface_age per release.
  2. For 0.10.4:
    a) Resetting tracker_interface_age to 0 (current value anyway)
    b) Changing the tracker_binary_version to 0.10.4

I will improve this from 0.10.5. I would re-tag 0.10.4 appropriately, 
but we can't delete tags on gnome's git server.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
