     5
     6Version 1.2.4:
     7- Most important change (and main reason for releasing now): Upgraded Yahoo!
     8  module to a newer version to get it working again.
     9- join_chat command replaced with the much better chat command:
     10  * Similar to how account replaced login/slist/logout. Add a chatroom once,
     11    then just /join it like any other room. Also automatic joining at login
     12    time is now possible.
     13  * Note that the old way of starting groupchats (/join #nickname) is now
     14    also deprecated, use "chat with" instead.
     15  * See "help chat" and "help chat add" for more information.
     16- Rewrote bitlbee.conf parser to be less dumb.
     17- Fixed compatibility (hopefully) with AIM mobile messages, certain kinds
     18  of Google Talk chatrooms.
     19- Fixed numerous stability/reliability bugs over the last year.
     20
     21Finished 17 Oct 2009
     22
     23Version 1.2.3:
     24- Fixed one more flaw similar to the previous hijacking bug, caused by incon-
     25  sistent handling of the USTATUS_IDENTIFIED state. All code touching these
     26  variables was reviewed and should be correct now.
     27
     28Finished 7 Sep 2008
     29
     30Version 1.2.2:
     31- Security bugfix: It was possible to hijack accounts (without gaining access
     32  to the old account, it's simply an overwrite)
     33- Some more stability improvements.
     34- Fixed bug where people with non-lowercase nicks couldn't drop their account.
     35- Easier upgrades of non-forking daemon mode servers (using the DEAF
     36  command).
     37- Can be cross-compiled for Win32 now! (No support for SSL yet though, which
     38  makes it less useful for now.)
     39- Exponential backoff on auto-reconnect.
     40- Changing passwords gives less confusing feedback ("password is empty") now.
