The changelog for 0.99:
- Fixed memory initialization bug in OSCAR module that caused crashes on
closing the connection.
- Most likely fixed the bug that caused BitlBee to use 100% CPU time in
some situations.
- Outgoing MSN typing notifications are now understood correctly by the
orignal MS Mac/Windows clients (again).
- Added "account add $protocol" to the documentation, got rid of a lot
of over-markup (i.e. overuse of bold-tags), reviewed some other parts.
- Small changes to help.xsl to fix small flaws in the help.txt formatting.
- Messaging yourself now doesn't make irssi or mIRC crash anymore.
backslashes anymore. A single backslash is enough. Changed the
definition in all affected packages. For those that are not caught, an
additional check is placed into bsd.pkginstall.mk.
file's sole purpose was to provide a dependency on pkg-config and set
some environment variables. Instead, turn pkg-config into a "tool"
in the tools framework, where the pkg-config wrapper automatically
adds PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR to the environment before invoking the real
pkg-config.
For all package Makefiles that included pkg-config/buildlink3.mk, remove
that inclusion and replace it with USE_TOOLS+=pkg-config.
Main changelog entries are:
Security:
- Fixed a bug in http_encode that might have caused buffer overflows
(although not likely to be exploitable) when trying to encode strings
with non-ASCII characters.
- Newline stripping added to prevent newline-in-friendlyname attacks.
(Which allowed remote people to make BitlBee send raw custom IRC lines.)
Bugs:
- Many crashes
- Yahoo! cleanup code to avoid 100% CPU time usage
- fixes for ICQ and MSN

Bump PKGREVISION.
Changes:
- Full support for ICQ server-side contact lists!
NOTE: BitlBee now ignores your client-side contact list. If you want to
import your ICQ contact list, use the import_buddies command.
- Added the import_buddies command for upgrading purposes.
- Added support for OpenSSL.
- Fixed one major problem with the daemon mode by getting rid of the global
IRC structure.
- Documentation fixes. help.txt is now generated from XML. Also updated the
installation manual.

- Some bitlbeed additions. (By Marcus Dennis)
- info-command support for Jabber, MSN, Yahoo! and a more verbose info-reply
for ICQ. (By Frank Thieme)
- Support for Jabber over SSL.
- nick_get() appends a _ on duplicates instead of chopping off the last
character.
- Got rid of an unused piece of code that caused crashes.
(oscar.c:gaim_parse_clientauto)
- When splitting long messages into 450-char chunks, BitlBee now tries not
to cut off in the middle of a line.
- Added a warning when the user specifies an unknown OSCAR server.
- Removed GLib 2.x dependency, BitlBee will work with GLib 1.x again.
- Improved strip_html(), now less likely to strip non-HTML things.
- An invalid account-command will now display an error message.
- Fixed a bug that caused crashes when /CTCP'ing a groupchat channel.
- Hopefully better Unicode/non-ASCII support for ICQ.
- Fixed MSN connection crash on non-ASCII characters in screenname.
- Added some missing charset conversion calls. (serv_got_crap,
serv_buddy_rename)
- "account off" without extra arguments now logs off all connections.
- Fixed a crash-bug on disconnecting Yahoo! connections before they're fully
connected.
- Fixed a bug in helpfile handling which sometimes caused crashes in daemon
mode.
- block and allow commands work with just a nick as an argument again.
- Working around a crash on some probably invalid Yahoo! packets.
- Fixed a possible double free() on shutdown in irc_free().
- Talking to ICQ people on AIM and vice versa and talking to people with
@mac.com accounts now possible.
- Low ASCII chars are now stripped from away-messages so the Jabber module
won't barf on BitchX and lame-script away messages anymore.

And more...
bitlbee is an IRC gateway to other chat networks. It provides an IRC server
where users connect to and have access to all their contacts in ICQ, MSN,
Jabber or even IRC itself. Protocols are implemented using Gaim's code.
Multiple users are supported too, where each one has its own set of accounts
and contacts.
