This release includes a number of backends, including Telepathy, evolution-data-server, libsocialweb, Tracker, and a simple key-file backend. The 0.9.x unstable series corresponds to GNOME 3.12 and 3.14, leading up to a 0.10.x stable series in the near future. We will continue to maintain API and ABI stability for the foreseeable future, with the intention of having 0.9.x API compatible back through 0.6.x. 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.
