1VERSION         DESCRIPTION
2-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
30.7.0         - made 'make config' more portable
4              - add 'skypeconsole' buddy for debugging purposes

80.6.3         - various osx-specific improvements (see the new screenshot!)
9              - added python-gnutls install instructions
10              - bitlbee.pc is now searched under
11                /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig by default to help LFS monkeys ;)
120.6.2         - bugfix: make install required the plugin even in case
13                its build was disabled
140.6.1         - added keepalive traffic to avoid disconnects in bitlbee
15                when there is no traffic for a long time
16              - now the plugin or skyped is automatically disabled if
17                the dependencies are not available; useful in case the
18                plugin is to be installed on a public server, or the
19                skyped is to be used with a public server only
200.6.0         - works with BitlBee 1.2.1
210.5.1         - configure now automatically detects the right prefix to
22                match witl BitlBee's one

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

55                text
