It's my goal to make 0.19.x stable (as 0.20.x) within the next couple
months.

In the mean time feel free to put off applying the patch I sent you.
I've kept the old API in p11-kit in a deprecated form. It will remain
for several stable releases. I've kept most of the unit tests for the
old API, with the goal of it remaining functional during that time.

I'm happy to rebase the patch later, once a stable p11-kit release is done.

Cheers,

Stef
