1VERSION         DESCRIPTION
2-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
30.7.1         - mostly internal changes, the monster read callback is
4                now replaced by tiny parser functions
50.7.0         - made 'make config' more portable
6              - add 'skypeconsole' buddy for debugging purposes
7              - support autojoin for bookmarked groupchats
8              - skyped: make hardwired '/dev/null' portable and fix
9                Python-2.6 warnings
100.6.3         - various osx-specific improvements (see the new screenshot!)
11              - added python-gnutls install instructions
12              - bitlbee.pc is now searched under
13                /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig by default to help LFS monkeys ;)
140.6.2         - bugfix: make install required the plugin even in case
15                its build was disabled
160.6.1         - added keepalive traffic to avoid disconnects in bitlbee
17                when there is no traffic for a long time
18              - now the plugin or skyped is automatically disabled if
19                the dependencies are not available; useful in case the
20                plugin is to be installed on a public server, or the
21                skyped is to be used with a public server only
220.6.0         - works with BitlBee 1.2.1
230.5.1         - configure now automatically detects the right prefix to
24                match witl BitlBee's one
25              - minor documentation improvements (public chats, bug
26                reporting address)
270.5.0         - skyped now uses gnutls if possible, which seem to be
28                more stable, compared to openssl.
29              - skyped now tries to handle all read/write errors from/to
30                clients, and always just warn about failures, never exit.
31              - installation for Debian users should be more simple
32              - improved documentation
33              - this .0 release should be quite stable, only about 100
34                lines of new code

43              - avoid ${prefix} (by autoconf) in the config file as we
44                don't handle such a variable

460.4.0         - support for starting, accepting and rejecting calls
47              - also updated documentation (the key is the account set
48                skype/call command)
