1VERSION         DESCRIPTION
2-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
30.6.2         - bugfix: make install required the plugin even in case
4                its build was disabled
50.6.1         - added keepalive traffic to avoid disconnects in bitlbee
6                when there is no traffic for a long time
7              - now the plugin or skyped is automatically disabled if
8                the dependencies are not available; useful in case the
9                plugin is to be installed on a public server, or the
10                skyped is to be used with a public server only
110.6.0         - works with BitlBee 1.2.1
120.5.1         - configure now automatically detects the right prefix to
13                match witl BitlBee's one

15                reporting address)
160.5.0         - skyped now uses gnutls if possible, which seem to be
17                more stable, compared to openssl.

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