-- For the first time since 2007, a dev snapshot. Like then, this is pretty

-- Loads of new stuff, mostly ready for a new major release, but starting with

+Version 
+- Important: This version drops backward compatibility with the file format
+  used for user settings in versions before 1.2. If you're upgrading from
+  very old BitlBee versions (like 1.0.x), you'll have to recreate your
+  BitlBee account - or use an 1.2.x BitlBee once to do the conversion.
 - Rewrote the IRC core, which brings:

     for a list of supported protocols (works only in libpurple-enabled

+- Rewritten MSN module, implementing MSNP15 instead of the old MSNP8:
+  * MSNP8 support from MSN was getting pretty unreliable. There were issues
+    with remembering display names and adding contacts/auth requests (or
+    even contacts silently getting blocked!). This upgrade should fix all
+    of that.
+  * Support for sending offline messages.
+  * Support for setting and reading status messages.
 - Support for file transfers, in and out. /DCC SEND a file to a contact and
   it becomes a file transfer, and incoming file transfers become /DCC SENDs

+- Show if a contact is mobile or not. See "help set mobile_is_away".
+- Easier handling of XMPP chatroom invitations.
+- The chatroom mode of the Twitter module is now enabled by default, since
+  this was by far the most popular. To disable it, see "help set mode".
+- Added some Twitter-specific commands that can only be used in the Twitter
+  window. Most important addition: Retweets. See "help set commands".
+- Removed some ancient account/nick migration scripts and added one for
+  easier switching from Pidgin and other libpurple-based clients to BitlBee.
+- Many bug fixes in both the core and IM modules, small feature enhancements
+  and other minor changes.
