Hints for 0.9 compatibility

Hello.

I'm new to developing plugins for Foobar. I must say, the foobar SDK is quite easy to program. You have a well designed class hierarchy and some very useful utility functions. I may have to steal your ideas one day   

I see that foobar is about to release a new SDK for v0.9, and I want to know: how can I ensure that my plugin will encounter no errors once the 0.9 SDK is released. In other words, what functions should I use, what functions mustn't I use, and which code blocks are pure evil?

Utf8api seems to have been replaced with shared.dll. I wonder if linking statically to utf8api will make my plugin work in v0.9?

The best thing to do if you want to develop a plugin for 0.9 is probably to wait until the 0.9 sdk is out.

Components for 0.8.3 are not compatible with 0.9; neither on the binary nor on the source code level. Just do as you like now, and wait for the upgrade guides that should be released with the SDK when 0.9 goes final.
