     5
     6Version 1.2.5:
     7- Many bug fixes, including a fix for MSN login issues, Jabber login timing
     8  issues, Yahoo! crashes at login time with huge contact lists,
     9- Avoid linking in a static version of libresolv now that glibc has all
     10  relevant functions available in the dynamic version.
     11- Improved away state code and added the ability to set (non-away) status
     12  messages using "set status" (also possible per account) and see them in
     13  blist and /whois output.
     14- Added a post-1.2 equivalent of encode/decode to quickly encrypt/decrypt
     15  passwords in a way that BitlBee can read them.
     16- Allow using the full name for generating nicknames, instead of just the
     17  handle. This is especially useful when using the Facebook XMPP server.
     18- Auto reconnect is now enabled by default since all protocols can properly
     19  detect cases where auto reconnect should be avoided (i.e. concurrent
     20  logins).
     21- Changed the default resource_select setting which should reduce message
     22  routing issues on Jabber (i.e. messages going someone's phone instead of
     23  the main client).

     441                                To mark yourself as away, it is recommended to just use <emphasis>/away</emphasis>, like on normal IRC networks. If you want to mark yourself as away on only one IM network, you can use this per-account setting.

     445                                You can set it to any value and BitlBee will try to map it to the most appropriate away state for every open IM connection, or set it as a free-form away message where possible.

     615                        <para>
     616                                By default, BitlBee generates a nickname for every contact by taking its handle and chopping off everything after the @. In some cases, this gives very inconvenient nicknames. The Facebook XMPP server is a good example, as all Facebook XMPP handles are numeric.

     619                        <para>
     620                                With this setting set to <emphasis>full_name</emphasis>, the person's full name is used to generate a nickname. Or if you don't like long nicknames, set this setting to <emphasis>first_name</emphasis> instead and only the first word will be used. Note that the full name can be full of non-ASCII characters which will be stripped off.

     783                                Certain protocols (like Jabber/XMPP) support status messages, similar to away messages. They can be used to indicate things like your location or activity, without showing up as away/busy.

     787                                This setting can be used to set such a message. It will be available as a per-account setting for protocols that support it, and also as a global setting (which will then automatically be used for all protocols that support it).

    88 As you might've expected, you can just use the <emphasis>/away</emphasis> command in your IRC client to set an away-state. BitlBee supports most away-states supported by the protocols.
