* New default binding ctrl+x to open context menus.
* Menu triggers and other bindings will no longer conflict.
* Middle click pastes the internal clipboard (when mouse support is enabled).
* The typing notification in the conversation history can be disabled or
customized (font, color etc.) in .gtkrc-2.0.
* Added a plugin (not installed by default) which adds a Send button back to
the conversation window. People without physical keyboards have a hard time
with the lack of the button.
* Clicking on the buddyicon in the conversation window toggles the size of the
icon between small and large.
* The settings of a chat (e.g. Handle in an XMPP chat, or Exchange in an AIM
chat) can be edited from its context menu in the buddy list.
* Add a "Present conversation window" preference to the Message Notification
plugin; the "Raise conversation window" option does not unminimize windows
or draw attention to them when they are on other workspaces--the "Present"
option should.
* Add a preference to set Escape as the keyboard shortcut for closing the
conversation window.
* Add an option in the context menu to disable smileys in the selected text
in the conversation history/log viewer. This should help people who
regularly paste code in conversations.
* Add a preference to choose the minimum size of the text input area in lines.
* Moved the "Local alias" field in the Modify Account dialog to be below the
"User Options" heading on the "Basic" tab.
* Number of room occupants is now shown in chat tooltips where possible
o In MySpaceIM, messages from spambots are discarded (Justin Williams)
o Strip mIRC formatting codes from quit and part messages.
o IRC now displays ban lists in-channel for joined channels.
o Fixed a bug where the list of loaded plugins would get removed when
switching between different operating systems.
o Fix reception of IRC PART without a part message on Undernet
(fixes a problem with litter in the channel user list).
o IRC no longer crashes on /list on servers which erroneously omit RPL_LISTSTART
o Update the NetworkManager support to use D-Bus directly, instead of
libnm-glib. Hopefully it's stable now. It will now compile by default if you
have D-Bus support and NetworkManager.h. (Elliott Sales de Andrade)
o MSN buddy list synchronization is now more forgiving, only asking about
buddies who have disappeared completely from the server list and not those
that have simply moved groups.
o IRC will now try to append 1-9 to your nick if it is in use, instead of
substituting the last character with 1-9 where possible.
o Bonjour buddies will be saved persistently if they're moved out of the
"Bonjour" group. (Eion Robb)

Summary of changes from 0.11.8.2.1 to 0.11.8.3
============================================
[UI fea] Simple heuristics for disabling and reenabling encryption based on whether naim thinks you're talking to someone logged in to naim or to a second client.
[TOC fea] Availability messages are now decoded and passed along to the UI.
[TOC fea] The TOC2 driver now uses toc_locate_user instead of toc_get_info to retrieve profile information. This both fixes profile viewing, which has been broken since late 2006, and adds the ability to retrieve away messages for non-naim users, which has not been possible since 0.10.
[UI bug] The string <a href="target"></a> would previously be rendered as " [target]" in naim, while graphical AIM clients would render it as an empty string. A recent version of AIM for Windows introduced a bug where outgoing messages included these empty hyperlinks in some situations. Fixed.
Changelog:
* Version 1.2 (released 2008-03-17) hilights:
- See 1.1.1dev and 1.1dev (Jabber module rewrite, Jabber groupchats, better
(and more secure) file format for user data, ForkDaemon mode).
- Yahoo! support in this release will hopefully still work next month.
* Development version 1.1.1dev (released 2007-11-24) hilights:
- Mostly internal changes (resolved some GPL issues, changed some parts of the
IM API).
- Support for Jabber chatrooms and an XML console.
- Support for named AIM chatrooms.
* Development version 1.1dev (released 2007-02-19) hilights:
- Many new features, enhancements, bugfixes, for example:
- Rewritten Jabber module.
- Improved file format for storing user configuration.
- ForkDaemon mode: Daemon mode without the stability problems.
* Remove a workaround for older versions gstreamer that was causing crashes
on some non-Linux systems such as HPUX
* Fix some cases of the conversation input entry area being 1 pixel high
* Fix for displaying channel & buddy names in conversation window when they
have '&' in them
* Some memory leak fixes, especially in the Text Replacement plugin
* Rectangular but non-square buddy icons have rounded corners in the buddy list
* Treat AIM Unicode messages as UTF-16 rather than UCS-2; this should have no functional effect, other than continued support on systems which have dropped UCS-2 conversions.
* Add support for setting buddy icons on Gadu-Gadu (Tomasz Salacinski)
* Fix a crash when clearing the buddy icon for an account on XMPP
* Fix a crash during login for some ICQ accounts

Major changes:
* dccallow: fix incorrect api usage
* mysql: fix race condition (crash) on unload

* invisible: Fix multiple +Q and -Q notices (harmless)
* configreader: Better checking of newline values
* swhois: Don't desync when setting a title on an already-titled user.
* new module: m_ldapauth
connecting to something. Putting 'sleep 5' in sm's rc.d script
resolves the problem. (The right fix is to for all programs to ensure
that they are ready to provide all defined services before the
top-level command exits, but that's much harder.) PKGREVISION++.
No maintainer; wip package initially imported by xtraeme.
Tkabber is a free client for an instant messaging system called
Jabber. It is written in Tcl/Tk and supports many features like
support of unicode, ssl support, http proxy, file transfers and
support of multi-user conference protocol.
I don't know why this DESCR says "ssl" but TODO also says "ssl".
