What's new in BitlBee 3.0.1:

November 25th, 2010

· Mostly bug fixes, not a lot of new stuff.

What's new in BitlBee 3.0:

October 22nd, 2010

· Lots of stuff, see the development version below.
· MSN protocol module was rewritten. This fixes some problems many people were having with the old code lately, and adds support for things like status messages and offline messages.
· The bitlbee-otr branch is now merged into mainline, which means you can compile BitlBee with OTR encryption support, if you want, without any need for patches/alternative branches.
· Many more fixes, small changes, etc. Just read the full non-bzr changelog for all details.

What's new in BitlBee 1.3:

August 7th, 2010

· Too much to mention here, see the Wiki and doc/CHANGES for more details.
· IRC core completely rewritten. This adds support for multiple configurable control channels (for example one channel per group, one per IM account/protocol, a channel with just your offline contacts), easier groupchat support, more flexibility in how nicknames are generated, and finally you can easily change your nickname whenever you want.
· The ability to use libpurple instead of the built-in code. This adds support for more IM protocols and more features. Possibly less stable and lightweight, so by default the built-in code will still be used.
· Support for file transfers.

What's new in BitlBee 1.2.8:

July 4th, 2010

· Resolved ICQ login issues a few people were having.
· Many changes to the Twitter module: Ability to follow/unfollow, use non-Twitter Twitter API services, better error reporting, and some bugfixes.
· You can configure BitlBee to identify itself as a different client to get around artificial client restrictions.
· Some more minor bug fixes/etc.

What's new in BitlBee 1.2.5:

March 17th, 2010

· Full support for non-away status messages.
