     lose the nicknames, you can now use "account set" to change the username
     and password for the existing connection.
   * Per-account settings (see the new "account set" command).
+- A brand new Jabber module. Besides the major code cleanup, it also has

+    automatically convert plaintext connections to TLS-encrypted ones.
+  * XEP85 means typing notifications. The older XEP22 (still used by some

+  * Better handling of buddies who have more than one resource on-line. As
+    long as one resource is on-line (and visible), BitlBee will show this. 
+    (The previous module didn't keep track of resources and sent an offline
