- *** NEWS (Version 1.2 and later) ***
-
-Starting from version 1.2, BitlBee has a forking daemon mode. The Debian
-package now uses this mode by default, instead of inetd mode. If you don't
-want to use this, you can disable the init scripts (best way to do this is
-by editing /etc/default/bitlbee) and restore the inetd.conf entry. This
-should be necessary only once, it won't be touched during upgrades.
-
-Another important change in BitlBee 1.2 is the file format used for your
-personal settings. Everything's now saved in a single .xml (per account,
-of course) file instead of $nick.accounts and $nick.nicks. One advantage
-of this new format is that the passwords are actually encrypted instead of
-just vaguely obfuscated. BitlBee can still read the old files, and will
-save things in the new format when you save/disconnect. After that, you
-can safely remove the old-style files (this is recommended).
-
-I tried making this transition (the new file format but especially, in this
-case, the inetd->forkdaemon mode change) as smooth as possible, but I'm
-aware that many BitlBee users will have their own hacks already to run the
-program. I hope the package won't break any of this for anyone. 1.2-2
-should fix at least some of the issues.
-
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-Debconf should have asked you on what port you want BitlBee to run. If it
-did not, the port number should be 6667 or 6668. (6668 if you already got
-something running at 6667)
-
-Fire up your favourite IRC client and connect to localhost:6667 (or 6668),
