Re: [Vala] [ANNOUNCE] Libgee 0.13.4 - GObject collection library

[Daniel Espinosa <esodan gmail com>]

I can see this version is incremental (point release like) over 0.8, and
packaged as 0.8.

Could you add that information in order to others know that 0.10, 0.12 and
upcomming 0.14 will be API/ABI compatible with 0.8 series?

As I can see you've take care about API and more importantly ABI, at C
level, stability on 0.8 to 0.12. Could you point that in your release
information?

I think this is very importantly in order to know Libgee stability and
avoid fear about depend on this library, contrary with other Vala libraries
like Personas, that may be don't know how to maintain API and ABI stability
across different Vala versions.

May is very important to add your recommendations on API/ABI stability on
Vala wiki, or link from Libgee wiki.

I'm trying to fix a bug on GXml/Serialization and want to use Libgee to
avoid most iteration/containers/collection bugs.

Many thanks.
