news 28 Posted March 19, 2012 libfolks 0.6.7 is now available for download from: http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/folks/0.6/ d9ce3fd1f0ea3e0cb3780521cfda161062cf7ed1a016261e8d244fe41cbae8f3 folks-0.6.7.tar.xz libfolks 0.6.7 — It's not a party unless you do something that scares you. ======================================================================== 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 0.6.x series is API and ABI stable and corresponds to the GNOME 3.4 release. We will continue in the 0.6.x for the foreseeable future, until we need to make further API or ABI breaks (which we don't anticipate at this time). 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.
