4              - added python-gnutls install instructions
5              - bitlbee.pc is now searched under
6                /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig by default to help LFS monkeys ;)

8                its build was disabled
[038fa18]90.6.1         - added keepalive traffic to avoid disconnects in bitlbee
10                when there is no traffic for a long time
11              - now the plugin or skyped is automatically disabled if
12                the dependencies are not available; useful in case the
13                plugin is to be installed on a public server, or the
14                skyped is to be used with a public server only

19                reporting address)
[8cd185c]200.5.0         - skyped now uses gnutls if possible, which seem to be
21                more stable, compared to openssl.

23                clients, and always just warn about failures, never exit.
24              - installation for Debian users should be more simple
