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 hexadecimal 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.
BitlBee 3.0.6
Updated MSN module to speak MSNP18:
Biggest change is that this brings MPOP support (you can sign in to one account from multiple locations).
Restored support for sending offline messages.
Some support for federated (i.e. Yahoo!) contacts. (Only messages might work, you won't see them online.)
Twitter:
Work-around for stalls that are still happening sometimes.
Added "favourite" command.
"show_ids" enabled by default.
Handle see-other-host Jabber messages which should fix support for MSN-XMPP.
Misc. fixes and improvements.
