-BitlBee ... is Bitl
--------------------
-
-"I CAN HAS SPEEECH?" This is how Wilmer announced to me that he was going to do
-another BitlBee release. I was as surprised as you are. I thought he had given
-up on this whole releasing business.
-
-There is some humor in using a LOLcats reference to announce a new Bee
-release. The last major BitlBee release (1.0) was done a long time before the
-hype even begun. Between then and now we've celebrated BitlBee's fifth birthday
-and had a handful of releases, but nothing big happened. As a user this lax
-release planning worries me. What if this means that later releases will take
-even longer? I don't think we should fear this. Let us explore why this release
-took so long.
-
-Personally, I blame Google.
-
-There, I've said it. Google. The guys who are so big on "Do No Evil" and all
-that jazz. They caused this release to be so late. Let me explain why.
-
-They made Wilmer an offer. Wilmer, being the sillily naive guy he is, couldn't
-refuse. There were no decapitated horses involved, but he couldn't refuse
-nonetheless. That's not a big problem of course. Lots of guys (and gals, sure)
-work for Google. It wouldn't have become a problem if they hadn't shipped him of
-to Ireland. That's where the trouble starts.
-
-Ireland. Home of the leprechauns. These rascals joined forces with aliens and
-LOLcats to abduct Wilmer. The aliens had been trying for years to kidnap him,
-but they were on his turf and his trusty sidekicks Jelmer and Maurits were there
-to help him. All that changed when he moved to Ireland.
-
-But it wasn't just that Wilmer was all alone in some strange place. It was also
-that the aliens had created the LOLcats and made an alliance with the
-leprechauns--the real rulers of Ireland. Wilmer is cool, but he's not that
-cool. So they abducted him for a few years. When he finally came back, he
-regathered his mad coding skills and hacked a new release together.
-
-By now you're thinking, what has happened to Jelmer and Maurits? Well, they're
-still here and they worked on the Bee while Wilmer was absent. But, like open
-source, they are very Bitl--they're cool, but they're ready when they're
-ready.
-
-Well, whatever you may think of my little theory, they did take forever to
-launch this release. We're not mad at them, because it shows. They have
-added some cool new features and made plenty of changes under the hood. Let me
-give you a sneak preview of some of the new features: Jabber groupchats are
-supported. Configuration files are stored encrypted. You can now use
-ForkDaemon mode, which gives better stability over normal daemon mode, but
-doesn't require inetd. Also, server owners can now use the /OPER command to
-spy on their users. And--as I was specifically asked to mention--this is the
-first stable release that supports plugins. That's some Bitl changes for ya.
-
-BitlBee is cool, but ready when it's ready. Very Bitl.
-
-Sjoerd. LOL.
