+Version 1.2.5:
+- Many bug fixes, including a fix for MSN login issues, Jabber login timing
+ issues, Yahoo! crashes at login time with huge contact lists,
+- Avoid linking in a static version of libresolv now that glibc has all
+ relevant functions available in the dynamic version.
+- Improved away state code and added the ability to set (non-away) status
+ messages using "set status" (also possible per account).
+- Added a post-1.2 equivalent of encode/decode to quickly encrypt/decrypt
+ passwords in a way that BitlBee can read them.
+- Allow using the full name for generating nicknames, instead of just the
+ handle. This is especially useful when using the Facebook XMPP server.
+- Auto reconnect is now enabled by default since all protocols can properly
+ detect cases where auto reconnect should be avoided (i.e. concurrent
+ logins).
+
Version 1.2.4:
- Most important change (and main reason for releasing now): Upgraded Yahoo!
module to a newer version to get it working again.

+ <para>
+ By default, BitlBee generates a nickname for every contact by taking its handle and chopping off everything after the @. In some cases, this gives very inconvenient nicknames. The Facebook XMPP server is a good example, as all Facebook XMPP handles are numeric.

+
+ <para>
+ With this setting set to <emphasis>full_name</emphasis>, the person's full name is used to generate a nickname. Or if you don't like long nicknames, set this setting to <emphasis>first_name</emphasis> instead and only the first word will be used. Note that the full name can be full of non-ASCII characters which will be stripped off.
