I am just doing release right now, I am not so interested in stability.
I've not really been so clear/tight on this point, but what I am 
concerned about is the API and how broken it is/was.

This is the first release to really make nasty API breaks, but also, 
I've heavily documented them so people know what they're there for.

I'm not promising stability yet because I know Bastien and others want 
some async APIs and I have yet to add those.

As for GNOME release ... I see no reason why not, I have been testing 
with this a lot lately and with Tracker today too - I've fixed a bunch 
of things and added a bunch of test cases too (which we didn't have 
before). So I think it's more tested and documented than it was and you 
at least know what is going on now with the GError reporting I've added. 
The plan is to make Tracker master (1.1.x) stable before the GNOME 
release date, which means GNOME would depend (in some way) on the 
libmediaart 0.5.0 work. I think there will be another release before 
then of libmediaart.
