Highlights since 0.8.x
----------------------

Gabble no longer uses Loudmouth for XMPP; instead, it contains a snapshot of
Wocky, a new XMPP library based on GIO. Wocky will be split into a fully
independent project when it reaches API stability.

New features and significant bugfixes include:

• Jingle calls now interoperate with Pidgin, Gajim, and XEP-0100 SIP gateways
• file transfers now interoperate with the Google Talk desktop client
• support for Google Talk PMUC chatrooms
• contact information (vCards) on servers supporting XEP-0054
• searching for contacts on servers supporting XEP-0055
• improved capability-discovery support (ContactCapabilities)
• compile-time selection of GNUTLS or OpenSSL for SSL support
• support for JIDs with non-ASCII domains
• experimental support for plugins
• experimental support for multi-user Jingle calls (Muji)
• compilation on Unix platforms other than Linux should now work

Compatibility notes
-------------------

• telepathy-glib 0.11.16, GLib 2.24, libxml 2, SQLite 3, libnice 0.0.11,
  libsoup and libuuid are required.

• libsasl 2 is optional.

• Either GNUTLS >= 2.8.2 or OpenSSL >= 0.9.8g is also required.

• At the time of release, GNUTLS 2.8 is recommended. For versions 2.10.0 and
  2.10.1, some fixes need to be backported from 2.11.1 to fix connection
  failures with "-59: GNUTLS_E_INTERNAL_ERROR" in the debug log; we're
  tracking this as <https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29364>.

• If you use telepathy-mission-control, version 5.5.0 or later is required.
  A 5.6.x stable branch suitable for this will be released soon. Packagers,
  please make Gabble conflict with Mission Control < 5.5.0 (e.g. the
  Breaks or Conflicts relationships in dpkg), or if that's not possible in your
  packaging system, depend on Mission Control >= 5.5.0.

Changes since 0.9.18
--------------------

• Fix a crash if the connection closes while verifying a TLS certificate (wjt)
• Allow an in-progress connection to the server to be cancelled with
  Disconnect (cosimoc)
• Add regression tests for TLS certificate verification (cosimoc)
