Description :

Twitter!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
BitlBee 3.2.2
=============
Upstream changes
----------------
* The OTR plugin now uses libotr 4.0 (AKA libotr5 in debian based distros)
* Rejecting buddy requests in jabber won't accept them. Sorry for that
* Purple builds can now enable built in protocols when configuring, by passing a
parameter such as --jabber=1 to configure
* You can now use /oper to change passwords with "ac x set -del password"
* Complex unicode characters (non-BMP) now display correctly in twitter
* A few init / build script / pkg-config fixes. Added "install-systemd" make
target
Downstream changes
------------------
* Enable libpurple support additionally to built-in protocols (previously already
supported ("old") protocols are further served by BitlBee itself, only
additional ("new") ones come via libpurple)
* Added a patch to support libotr 3.x and 4.x (RHEL vs. Fedora)
