0.1.0 - Feb 7, 2012
===================

This release marks the start of the API/ABI stability promise. While some APIs
may become deprecated in the future, no APIs will be removed/changed in an
incompatible manner. In the unlikely event that an incompatible API change
becomes necessary, the library soname will be incremented to allow parallel
installation of both old & new libraries.
