+Since version 0.8.1 QGIS no longer uses the autotools for building. QGIS, like a
+number of major projects (eg. KDE 4.0), now uses CMake (http://www.cmake.org)
 for building from source. The configure script in this directory simply checks
 for the existence of cmake and provides some clues to build QGIS.

+\section index_APIStability API Stability
+
+Versions of QGIS prior to 1.0 did not guarantee API stability since the
+application was undergoing rapid development of new features and we did not
+want to commit ourselves to a fixed API. With the release of QGIS 1.0 we 
+guarantee a backwards compatible API  for the 1.x and 1.0.x release series. 1.x
+releases will be our 'unstable' development builds and 1.0.x releases our
+'stable' (bugfixes and very minor tweaks only).
