[Ftp-release] Announce: telepathy-haze 0.4.0

[Simon McVittie]

The "JESUS CHRIST IT'S A LION GET IN THE CAR!" release.

This release starts a 0.4.x stable branch with conservative dependencies.
The next release from the 'master' branch will be 0.5.0, and will depend on
newer versions of GLib, telepathy-glib and libpurple; in particular, 0.5.x
won't be suitable for use on Maemo 5.

Haze is a Telepathy connection manager based on libpurple, allowing Telepathy
applications to connect to the protocols supported by Pidgin. For protocols
that have a more specific connection manager (e.g. telepathy-gabble for XMPP),
we recommend using that instead.
