     6Version 1.2.6:
     7- Native (very basic) support for Twitter, implemented by Geert Mulders.
     8  Currently supported are posting tweets, reading the ones of people you
     9  follow, and sending (not yet receiving!) direct messages.
     10- Fixed format of status messages in /WHOIS to improve IRC client
     11  compatibility.
     12- Show timestamps of offline messages/channel backlogs.
     13- Allow saving MSN display names locally since sometimes this stuff breaks
     14  server-side. (Use the local_display_name per-account setting.)
     15- Suppress empty "Headline:" messages for certain new XMPP broadcast
     16  messages.
     17- Better handling of XMPP contacts with multiple resources on-line. Default
     18  behaviour now is to write to wherever the last message came from, or to
     19  the bare JID (usually becomes a broadcast) if there wasn't any recent msg.
     20- Added a switchboard_keepalives setting which should solve some issues with
     21  talking to offline MSN contacts. (Although full support for offline
     22  messages is not ready yet!)
     23- The usual misc. bug fixes.

     71                                                This module gives you simple access to Twitter. Although it uses the Twitter API, only Twitter itself is supported at the moment.

     75                                                By default all your Twitter contacts will come from a contact called twitter_(yourusername). You can change this behaviour using the <emphasis>mode</emphasis> setting (see <emphasis>help set mode</emphasis>).

     695                                Normally the control channel where you can see all your contacts is called "&amp;bitlbee". If you don't like this name, you can rename it to anything else using the <emphasis>rename</emphasis> command, or by changing this setting.

     744                                When incoming messages are old (i.e. offline messages and channel backlogs), BitlBee will prepend them with a timestamp. If you find them ugly or useless, you can use this setting to hide them.

     796                                Only supported by OSCAR so far, you can use this setting to ignore ICQ authorization requests, which are hardly used for legitimate (i.e. non-spam) reasons anymore.

     817                                Mostly meant to work around a bug in MSN servers (forgetting the display name set by the user), this setting tells BitlBee to store your display name locally and set this name on the MSN servers when connecting.

     890                                By default, everything from the Twitter module will come from one nick, twitter_(yourusername). If you prefer to have individual nicks for everyone, you can set this setting to "many" instead.

     893                        <para>

    10301106                                If BitlBee fails to detect this sometimes (most likely in AIM messages over an ICQ connection), you can set this setting to <emphasis>always</emphasis>, but this might sometimes accidentally strip non-HTML things too.

     1119                        <para>
     1120                                With this setting enabled, BitlBee will send keepalives to MSN switchboards with offline/invisible contacts every twenty seconds. This should keep the server and client on the other side from shutting it down.
     1121                        </para>
     1122                       
     1123                        <para>
     1124                                This is useful because BitlBee doesn't support MSN offline messages yet and the MSN servers won't let the user reopen switchboards to offline users. Once offline messaging is supported, this flag might be removed.

     1134                        <para>
     1135                                If message timestamps are available for offline messages or chatroom backlogs, BitlBee will display them as part of the message. By default it will use the local timezone. If you're not in the same timezone as the BitlBee server, you can adjust the timestamps using this setting.

     1137
     1138                        <para>
     1139                                Values local/utc/gmt should be self-explanatory. timezone-spec is a time offset in hours:minutes, for example: -8 for Pacific Standard Time, +2 for Central European Summer Time, +5:30 for Indian Standard Time.
