Name        : bitlbee
Product     : Fedora EPEL 6
Version     : 3.0.5
Release     : 1.el6
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:

- 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.
