Version : 3.6
Release : 1.fc31
URL :

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 XMPP/Jabber (including Google Talk and Hipchat) and Twitter
microblogging network (and all other Twitter API compatible services like
status.net). There are also plugins for facebook and steam, and even more
protocols can be used via libpurple.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
BitlBee 3.6 =========== IRC/Core -------- * Add server-time IRCv3 capability
* Add PROXY command for haproxy/stunnel * Large performance improvements for
large contact lists * Many UX/documentation improvements * Added built-in
crash handler that writes to `/var/lib/bitlbee/crash.log` * Try to join long
spaceless lines in paste_buffer without a newline. The main use case for this is
pasting long URLs and not breaking them * Fix status message being set to null
accidentally * Fix handling utf8 nick renames when loading configs * Fix
SSL's SNI with hostnames starting with a digit * Show correct nick when
`rename -del` is used Twitter ------- * Disable the stream setting by
default. Filter streams still work. * Update default character limit to 280
chars * Fix quote tweet url display. Jabber ------ * Try to join anyway
after "Already present in chat" * Fix chat joins when ext_jid is provided for
your own user. Seen with Biboumi (a gateway from XMPP to IRC) * Handle
always_use_nicks more gracefully to reduce nick change noise OTR --- * Don't
block attempts to connect/smp/smpq to "offline" users Removed dead protocols
---------------------- * msn: Use the skypeweb purple plugin instead. *
skype (the dbus based thing): ditto. * yahoo: It's so dead even the
replacement protocol died. * oscar: AIM is dead, for ICQ use the icyque purple
plugin instead. For plugin devs --------------- * Add datadir to pkgconfig
file and config.h * Add "bitlbee-set-account-password" purple signal (for
hangouts) * Support libpurple 2.12.0's PURPLE_MESSAGE_REMOTE_SEND for
groupchat self-messages (for slack) Packaging/distro specific stuff
------------------------------- * `bitlbee@.service` now sends stderr to
syslog instead of the socket * debian: only enable `bitlbee.service`, not
`bitlbee.socket` too * cygwin: portability fixes for plugins * Support
OpenSSL 1.1 built without backwards compat
