I have plans to release the new libraries soon, I require from Patrick
for a minor administrative task to do the release but he's currently off.

Not really, I didn't commit the patch for conntrackd to make it use the
new API yet, mainly because I don't want to get people confused.
However, such patch is ready and available in my people netfilter place.
Therefore, I'll do the commit as soon as the libraries are released, of
course this means that we'll be able to drop unnofficial libraries
available in the conntrackd site and use the official ones.

It's a recursive question: expect a release after the libraries release ;)
