<br>
As you might have noticed, we've been lately migrating away from the<br>
Statefs based ContextKit API implementation. The QML interface already<br>
got rewritten in 3.3.0 as a simpler version that doesn't need a<br>
background daemon [1]. Ideally, and hopefully, applications using that<br>
module should keep working as they used to. <br>
<br>
Alas, it didn't all go without glitches: the Jolla phone, tablet and<br>
SDK are depending on bluez4 packages and a dependency problem related<br>
to that slipped through the cracks [2]. It's fixed now and if we end up<br>
doing a bug fix release for 3.3.0, that should be included there.<br>
<br>
What's been remaining is the c++ library, libcontextkit-statefs-qt5.so, <br>
which is about to be removed from the allowed libraries [3]. Based on<br>
our checks on Store app dependencies, that shouldn't affect too many.<br>
We found only two applications from a single developer and have<br>
contacted him. The usage on those didn't either seem too hard to<br>
migrate to QML or other API. So all in all it hasn't appeared worth it<br>
providing a c++ compatibility library for this little use.<br>
<br>
This as heads up. Please comment if you have any concerns.<br>
