70.6.3         - various osx-specific improvements (see the new screenshot!)
8              - added python-gnutls install instructions
9              - bitlbee.pc is now searched under
10                /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig by default to help LFS monkeys ;)
110.6.2         - bugfix: make install required the plugin even in case
12                its build was disabled
130.6.1         - added keepalive traffic to avoid disconnects in bitlbee
14                when there is no traffic for a long time
15              - now the plugin or skyped is automatically disabled if
16                the dependencies are not available; useful in case the
17                plugin is to be installed on a public server, or the
18                skyped is to be used with a public server only
190.6.0         - works with BitlBee 1.2.1

23                reporting address)
240.5.0         - skyped now uses gnutls if possible, which seem to be
25                more stable, compared to openssl.
26              - skyped now tries to handle all read/write errors from/to
27                clients, and always just warn about failures, never exit.
28              - installation for Debian users should be more simple
29              - improved documentation
