1VERSION         DESCRIPTION

30.6.1         - added keepalive traffic to avoid disconnects in bitlbee
4                when there is no traffic for a long time
5              - now the plugin or skyped is automatically disabled if
6                the dependencies are not available; useful in case the
7                plugin is to be installed on a public server, or the
8                skyped is to be used with a public server only
90.6.0         - works with BitlBee 1.2.1
100.5.1         - configure now automatically detects the right prefix to
11                match witl BitlBee's one

13                reporting address)
140.5.0         - skyped now uses gnutls if possible, which seem to be
15                more stable, compared to openssl.
16              - skyped now tries to handle all read/write errors from/to
17                clients, and always just warn about failures, never exit.

330.4.0         - support for starting, accepting and rejecting calls
34              - also updated documentation (the key is the account set
