VERSION         DESCRIPTION
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
0.7.1         - mostly internal changes, the monster read callback is
                now replaced by tiny parser functions
0.7.0         - made 'make config' more portable
              - add 'skypeconsole' buddy for debugging purposes
              - support autojoin for bookmarked groupchats
              - skyped: make hardwired '/dev/null' portable and fix
                Python-2.6 warnings
0.6.3         - various osx-specific improvements (see the new screenshot!)
              - added python-gnutls install instructions
              - bitlbee.pc is now searched under
                /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig by default to help LFS monkeys ;)
0.6.2         - bugfix: make install required the plugin even in case
                its build was disabled
0.6.1         - added keepalive traffic to avoid disconnects in bitlbee
                when there is no traffic for a long time
              - now the plugin or skyped is automatically disabled if
                the dependencies are not available; useful in case the
                plugin is to be installed on a public server, or the
                skyped is to be used with a public server only
0.6.0         - works with BitlBee 1.2.1
0.5.1         - configure now automatically detects the right prefix to
                match witl BitlBee's one
              - minor documentation improvements (public chats, bug
                reporting address)
0.5.0         - skyped now uses gnutls if possible, which seem to be
                more stable, compared to openssl.
              - skyped now tries to handle all read/write errors from/to
                clients, and always just warn about failures, never exit.
              - installation for Debian users should be more simple
              - improved documentation
              - this .0 release should be quite stable, only about 100
                lines of new code
0.4.2         - skyped should be now more responsive
              - new skypeout_offline setting for hiding/showing SkypeOut

              - tested with BitlBee 1.2 and Skype 2.0.0.63
              - avoid ${prefix} (by autoconf) in the config file as we
                don't handle such a variable
              - now you can call echo123 (patch by Riskó Gergely)
0.4.0         - support for starting, accepting and rejecting calls
              - also updated documentation (the key is the account set
                skype/call command)

                new code

0.3.1         - beautify output when skyped is interrupted using ^C
              - 'nick skype foo' now really sets display name, not the mood
                text

              - ~200 lines of new code, so be careful :)
              - upgraders: please read the documentation about how to set up
                your config the ssl certificate, this was no necessary till now
0.2.6         - the server setting has a default value, 'localhost' so in most
                cases you no longer have to set it explicitly
              - support for receiving emoted messages, ie. when the user types
                '/me foo'
              - support for setting the display name (nick 0 "foo bar") - it
                sets the mood text
