+Version 3.2:
+- By far the most important change, a thorough update to the Twitter
+ module:
+ * Now using Twitter API 1.1,
+ * which means it's now using JSON instead of XML,
+ * which means access to the streaming API (Twitter only, other Twitter
+ API services don't seem to have it). No more 60-second polls, #twitter
+ looks even more like real IRC now!
+ * Also, the streaming API means nice things like receiving DMs.
+ * show_ids, already enabled by default for a while, now uses hexa-
+ decimal numbers, which means a 256-entry backlog instead of just 100.
+ * Added a mode=strict setting which requires everything to be a command.
+ The "post" command should then be used to post a Tweet.
+- Jabber module bugfix that fixes connection issues with at least Google
+ Talk but reportedly some other servers (OpenFire?) as well.
+- SSL modules improved a little bit. GnuTLS module now supports SNI and
+ session caching. Shouldn't change much, but hopefully reduces latency
+ and bandwidth usage a little bit.
+- A bunch of other fixes/improvements here and there.

+Finished ... 2013

Version 3.0.6:
- Updated MSN module to speak MSNP18:
* Biggest change is that this brings MPOP support (you can sign in to
