+Version 1.2.6:
+- Native (very basic) support for Twitter.
+- Fixed format of status messages in /WHOIS to improve IRC client
+  compatibility.
+- Show timestamps of offline messages/channel backlogs.
+- Allow saving MSN display names locally since sometimes this stuff breaks
+  server-side. (Use the local_display_name per-account setting.)
+- Suppress empty "Headline:" messages for certain new XMPP broadcast 
+  messages.
+- Better handling of XMPP contacts with multiple resources on-line. Default
+  behaviour now is to write to wherever the last message came from, or to
+  the bare JID (usually becomes a broadcast) if there wasn't any recent msg.
+- The usual misc. bug fixes.

If you want them in a separate channel, use the use_groupchat setting (see <emphasis>help set use_groupchat</emphasis>).
