Name        : bitlbee
Product     : Fedora EPEL 5
Version     : 1.2.5
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, MSN, Jabber or Yahoo!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

- Many bug fixes, including a fix for MSN login issues, Jabber login timing
issues, Yahoo! crashes at login time with huge contact lists,  - Avoid linking
in a static version of libresolv now that glibc has all relevant functions
available in the dynamic version.  - Improved away state code and added the
ability to set (non-away) status messages using "set status" (also possible per
account) and see them in blist and /whois output.  - Added a post-1.2 equivalent
of encode/decode to quickly encrypt/decrypt passwords in a way that BitlBee can
read them.  - Allow using the full name for generating nicknames, instead of
just the handle. This is especially useful when using the Facebook XMPP server.
- Auto reconnect is now enabled by default since all protocols can properly
detect cases where auto reconnect should be avoided (i.e. concurrent logins).  -
Changed the default resource_select setting which should reduce message routing
issues on Jabber (i.e. messages going someone's phone instead of the main
client).
