Vala 0.8.0 will be released this week and from this point on, the
language syntax is considered stable and no backward incompatible
changes will be applied during the 0.8 series. We also intend to keep
backward compatibility with 0.8 when releasing 1.x, assuming we don't
find severe issues in the syntax in the meantime.
