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. diff --git a/doc/user-guide/commands.xml b/doc/user-guide/commands.xml index a7d06cf1..931608ee 100644 --- a/doc/user-guide/commands.xml +++ b/doc/user-guide/commands.xml @@ -607,6 +607,21 @@ </description> </bitlbee-setting> + <bitlbee-setting name="nick_source" type="string" scope="account"> + <default>handle</default> + <possible-values>handle, full_name, first_name</possible-values> + + <description> + <para> + By default, BitlBee generates a nickname for every contact by taking its handle and chopping off everything after the @.
