Hi,

Basically I have two main goals:
1) Run some Harmattan apps that use SparQl or QtSparQl
2) Port the GUI parts of Accounts & SSO from Nemo Mobile (basically the
same as Harmattan's but fully open source)

If there was the compatibility library, what would be the maximum version
that we could upgrade to?

Regards,
