Fedora Update Notification
FEDORA-2013-2835
2013-02-21 04:54:29
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : bitlbee
Product : Fedora 17
Version : 3.2
Release : 1.fc17
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.
