No - otherwise people start packaging 0.39 and put it in a distro ...

No - 0.39 is not working smooth enough ... there is this IPC issue we hit with 
plugins like SyncML and others - which needs to be fixed.

The capsformat changes are not compleltey incoperatd.
Currently you only really can sync "contact" ... not any other PIM format ...

Currently only the demerger is active, but not the merger!


I don't want to debug 0.39 from regular users, which using 0.39 because it got 
shipped by their distro. I only want to debug 0.39 from a small amount of 
people which are acting as tester and are not get angry if things doesn't work 
as expected and are more willing to help and response in time ... ;)
