+Version 1.2.1:
+- Fixed proxy support.
+- Fixed stalling issues while connecting to Jabber when using the OpenSSL
+  module.
+- Fixed problem with GLib and ForkDaemon where processes didn't die when
+  the client disconnects.
+- Fixed handling of "set charset none". (Which pretty much breaks the account
+  completely in 1.2.)
+- You can now automatically identify yourself to BitlBee by setting a server
+  password in your IRC client.
+- Compatible with all crazy kinds of line endings that clients can send.

 Version 1.2:
-- First BitlBee development/testing RELEASE. This should be quite stable
-  though (and for most people more stable than 1.0.x). It just has a couple
-  of rough edges and needs a bit more testing.
 - Added ForkDaemon mode next to the existing Daemon- and inetd modes. With
   ForkDaemon you can run BitlBee as a stand-alone daemon and every connection

   1.x is so old that supporting it really isn't necessary anymore.
 - Many, many, MANY little changes, improvements, fixes. Using non-blocking
-  I/O as much as possible, fixed lots of little bugs (including bugs that

-- Added units tests, will have to add some more before the real release.
+  I/O as much as possible, replaced the Gaim (0.59, IOW heavily outdated)
+  API, fixed lots of little bugs (including bugs that affected daemon mode

+- One of the user-visible changes from the API change: You can finally see
+  all away states/messages properly.
+- Added units tests. Test coverage is very minimal for now.
+- Better charset handling: Everything is just converted from/to UTF-8 right
+  in the IRC core, and charset mismatches are detected (if possible) and the
+  user is asked to resolve this before continuing. Also, UTF-8 is the default
+  setting now, since that's how the world seems to work these days.
+- One can now keep hashed passwords in bitlbee.conf instead of the cleartext
+  version.
 - Most important change: New file format for user data (accounts, nicks and
   settings). Migration to the new format should happen transparently,

+- The Yahoo! module now says it supports YMSG protocol version 12, which will

+- MSN switchboard handling changes. Hopefully less messages will get lost now,
