+VERSION DESCRIPTION
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+0.9.0 - merge support for building the plugin on OpenBSD
+ - merge support for running skyped without gobject and
+ pygnutls/pyopenssl - as a side effect this adds Windows support
+ - add /ctcp call|hangup support (you need BitlBee from bzr to use
+ this)
+ - add group support (see http://wiki.bitlbee.org/UiFix)
+0.8.4 - now using python2.7 directly in case python would point to python3k
+ - merge patch to avoid a crash when failing to connect to skyped
+ - merge support for building the plugin on NetBSD
+ - merge Debian patches
+0.8.3 - support for BitlBee 1.3dev
+ - fixed --debug switch (-d was fine)

+0.8.2 - building documentation is now optional
+ - new settings: test_join and show_moods
+ - '~' in skyped.conf is now expanded to the user's home directory
+ - groupchat channel names are now persistent (requires
+ BitlBee-1.2.6)
+0.8.1 - support for BitlBee 1.2.5
+ - support for Skype 2.1.0.81 and Skype4Py 1.0.32.0
+ - the plugin part now supports FreeBSD

+0.8.0 - fix build on x86_64 (-fPIC usage)
+ - debug messages now have a timestamp

+ daemon is in the background.
+ - prefer config files from ~/.skyped over /etc/skyped

+0.6.3 - various osx-specific improvements (see the new screenshot!)
+ - added python-gnutls install instructions
+ - bitlbee.pc is now searched under
+ /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig by default to help LFS monkeys ;)
+0.6.2 - bugfix: make install required the plugin even in case
+ its build was disabled
+0.6.1 - added keepalive traffic to avoid disconnects in bitlbee
+ when there is no traffic for a long time
+ - now the plugin or skyped is automatically disabled if
+ the dependencies are not available; useful in case the
+ plugin is to be installed on a public server, or the
+ skyped is to be used with a public server only

+ clients, and always just warn about failures, never exit.

+ skype/call command)

+ cases you no longer have to set it explicitly
