- Fixed Twitter compatibility. (The API call used to get the following list
was deprecated.)
- Twitter: Enable the show_ids setting to assign a two-digit short ID to
recent tweets to use for retweets and replies (so you can RT/reply to more
than just a person's last message).
- Some other Twitter fixes/improvements.
- "otr reconnect" command and some other fixes.
- GnuTLS 2.12 compatibility fix.
- Include "FLOOD=0/9999" in the 005/ISUPPORT line at login to hint the IRC
client that rate limiting is not required. (Next step: Get IRC clients to
parse it.)
- Other stuff too small to mention.
