# libfwupdplugin

This library is only partially API and ABI stable. Keeping unused, unsafe and
deprecated functions around forever is a maintenance burden and so symbols are
removed when branching for new minor versions.

Use `./contrib/migrate.py` to migrate up out-of-tree plugins to the new API.

Remember: Plugins should be upstream!
