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.

What's New?
===========
The "The Snow of the Apocalypse" release.

Empathy is now able to start SIP video calls using the new "New Call" dialog.
It also indicates whether an incoming call contains video or is audio only.
The contact list can now display the protocol used by contacts, and the
accounts dialog shows the accounts' status (enabled/disabled,
available/busy/away/offline, etc.).
Thanks to K. Vishnoo Charan Reddy, Empathy gained icons for 4 protocols.
