I think there's not point in saying we implement a stable connman API. There's no way to check at runtime what is the version of ConnMan and doing all the work to be compatible with previous api is totally insane. E.g. the case a property changed from plain string to an array of strings. The natural name of the method for *future* versions cannot be used. As such the plan is to support the most recent versions packaged by distros, at least until the ConnMan API becomes more stable. This is why we added this in E_Connman.h: #ifndef E_CONNMAN_I_KNOW_THIS_API_IS_SUBJECT_TO_CHANGE #error "E_Connman.h is an unstable API linked to upstream connman project" #endif However I really hope that at the time this happens we don't need this submodule anymore. Gustavo began to work on a tool to generate the C bindings (just like there's in, for example, qt and glib) to ease the use of dbus. Therefore we would not need this part of the lib and the application could directly use dbus. For *this* release, it's sufficient to say we don't provide an stable API.
