Changes since 0.80:
o Fixed a buffer overflow plus another problem in the nick
handling code.
o Fixed MSN support.
o Added the qlist command.
o Fixed the Makefile: It doesn't just overwrite files in etcdir
anymore.
o Fixed a small problem in the auto-reconnect cleanup code.
o Added a configuration file.
o Added some access restrictions for people who don't want their
BitlBee server to be open to anyone.
o Added basic support for charsets, which makes BitlBee more useful
to people who don't speak ASCII.
o Added support for automatic reconnection to an IM-server.
o Yahoo! now works again.
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.
Provided by Juan RP in pkgsrc-wip with some changes by me.
