What is it?
===========
Empathy is a messaging program which supports text, voice, and video
chat and file transfers over many different protocols. Empathy uses
Telepathy for protocol support and has an user interface based on
Gossip. Empathy is the default chat client in current versions of GNOME,
making it easier for other GNOME applications to integrate collaboration
functionality using Telepathy.

You can visit the project web site:

What's New?
===========
The "Please popup chats in my face!" release.

Empathy finally gained an option to automatically present incoming
events
rather than making the status icon blink.

The notifications bubbles now contain more buttons (if your notify
server supports actions) allowing you to quickly accept or decline
incoming events.

The audio/video client now lives in its own process: 'empathy-av'.

Empathy can now build with GTK+ 3. If GTK+ 3 is present during configure
it will be used and Empathy will requier updated versions of other
dependencies:
  - libcanberra-gtk3 ≥ 0.25
  - libnotify ≥ 0.5.1
  - libunique ≥ 2.90.1
  - WebKitGTK+ ≥ 1.3.2 (optional)
  - nautilus-sendto ≥ 2.90.0 (optional)
If GTK+ 3 is not detected or if --enable-gtk3=no is passed to configure,
then GTK+ 2 is used and the other dependencies are unchanged.
