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.
