wiz 18373a8959 Update to 4.20.0, provided by Znarf Ainav on tech-pkg:
4.14.0
------

Because of the mistake I made in the previous version, the 'u' letter was
eaten by the RTF parser when processing messages from windows icq clients.
It looked for unicode chars, but ate all 'u' characters it used to found.
Fixed that.

A memory leak problem when checking RSS was fixed.

Gadu-Gadu module used to produce a segfault when it was unable to obtain
a registration token from the server. Now it doesn't crash, though the
impossibility to register a new UIN is still there. The serve simply
doesn't find an appropriate document by the registration URL. Too bad.

Applied a small patch by Paul Chitescu so that it's now possible to start
centericq with all protocols set to offline.

Another type of external event was added. Now you can execute your actions
when someone goes offline. Hope someone finds that useful.

4.20.0
------

PGP encryption support was implemented for the Jabber module. In a nutshell
this means that with a proper setup your communications get a way more secure.
GPGME library is needed to build the PGP support.

Fixed the RTF parser that takes charge when a message from a Windows ICQ
client is received. One problem was that it used to treat backspace characters
wrong sometimes. Another problem with utf-16 was fixed with a patch submitted
by Vadim Nosovsky.

After ICQ dual login detection centericq used to try re-connecting, though it
wasn't supposed to. Fixed.

During a long time noone reported me the bug related to libicq2000's header
files getting installed each time "make install" was run for centericq. Finally
Wolfram Schlich noted this one, so I fixed it.

Logging on Yahoo! didn't work on Sun Sparc machines. Fixed that. That might
also revive Gadu-Gadu on bigendian architectures.

A couple of interface related bugs were fixed, such as a mistake in the group
organization dialog as well as not clearing pending messages for contacts in
non-chat communication mode.

Text mode menu- and window-driven IM interface that supports the
ICQ2000, Yahoo!, AIM, IRC, MSN, Gadu-Gadu and Jabber protocols. It

(both through the ICQ server and e-mail gateways supported by
Mirabilis), contacts, and email express messages. It also lets you
set your own and fetch others' away messages, and define external
handlers for incoming events. Apart from IM it supports LiveJournal
