We still provide a dummy hildon-lgpl package requireing hildon-libs, to
preserve compatibility
A few other changes are planned for the coming weeks, adding new APIs,
we will provide then migration instructions.

If you have any problem, please report in this thread, thanks!

They need synchronization, but impact is minor because it is basically
just a package name change. All widgets remain the same, no API change.


>BTW GPL3??? isnt that still in draft proposal stage?

You are right, but we thought that it is the right licence because the
lib is draft too.
Draft licence for draft software, make sense, no ? (*)
