-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora EPEL Update Notification FEDORA-EPEL-2013-0400 2013-02-20 17:09:18 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : bitlbee Product : Fedora EPEL 5 Version : 3.2 Release : 1.el5 URL : http://www.bitlbee.org/ Summary : IRC to other chat networks gateway Description : Bitlbee is an IRC to other chat networks gateway. Bitlbee can be used as an IRC server which forwards everything you say to people on other chat networks like ICQ/AIM, MSN, XMPP/Jabber (including Google Talk), Yahoo or Twitter!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information:
BitlBee 3.2 ===========
* By far the most important change, a thorough update to the Twitter module: * Now using Twitter API 1.1, * which means it's now using JSON instead of XML, * which means access to the streaming API (Twitter only, other Twitter API services don't seem to have it). No more 60-second polls, #twitter looks even more like real IRC now! * Also, the streaming API means nice things like receiving DMs. * show_ids, already enabled by default for a while, now uses hexadecimal numbers, which means a 256-entry backlog instead of just 100. * Added a mode=strict setting which requires everything to be a command. The "post" command should then be used to post a Tweet. * Jabber module bugfix that fixes connection issues with at least Google Talk but reportedly some other servers (OpenFire?) as well. * SSL modules improved a little bit. GnuTLS module now supports SNI and session caching. Shouldn't change much, but hopefully reduces latency and bandwidth usage a little bit. * A bunch of other fixes/improvements here and there.
BitlBee 3.0.6 =============
* Updated MSN module to speak MSNP18: * Biggest change is that this brings MPOP support (you can sign in to one account from multiple locations). * Restored support for *sending* offline messages. * Some support for federated (i.e. Yahoo!) contacts. (Only messages might work, you won't see them online.) * Twitter: * Work-around for stalls that are still happening sometimes. * Added "favourite" command. * "show_ids" enabled by default. * Handle see-other-host Jabber messages which should fix support for MSN-XMPP. * Misc. fixes and improvements.
BitlBee 3.0.5 =============
* SSL certificate verification (edit your bitlbee.conf to enable it). Works only with GnuTLS! * OAuth2 support in Jabber module (works with Google Talk, Facebook and MSN Messenger). * Support for ad-hoc Jabber groupchats. Just create a channel and start inviting people, similar to how this works on other IM networks. Works fine with GTalk, depends on a conference server being set up on other networks. * Allow old-style Jabber login (non-SASL), this solves problems with some old/buggy Jabber servers. (acc jabber set sasl off) * Use HTTPS for OAuth1 authentication traffic. * Awareness of Twitter's t.co URL lengt^Wshortening when checking message length. * Fixed identi.ca OAuth support. OAuth will now always be used for both Twitter and identi.ca accounts. * Fix nick_format=%full_name with libpurple. * Instead of "protocol(handle)", use the account tags introduced in 3.0 when root wants to refer to an account (in log messages, queries, etc.) * Many small bugfixes, improvements, etc. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References:
