Changes to stable API:

* fd.o #20905: Account.UpdateParameters now returns a list of the parameter
  changes that will not take effect until Reconnect is called.

* fd.o #19428: AccountManager.CreateAccount now additionally takes a map of
  properties to set on the new account immediately. CreateAccount fails without
  creating an account if these cannot be set.

Changes to experimental API:

* In new-style Tubes, OfferStreamTube, AcceptDBusTube etc. are just called
  Offer and Accept, since the interfaces are mutually exclusive; similarly,
  StreamTubeNewConnection is now just called NewConnection

New stable API:

* fd.o #20905: Account.Reconnect allows a UI to require that the Account be
  reconnected with a single method call.

* AccountManager.SupportedAccountProperties lists properties that can be passed
  to CreateAccount.

New experimental API:

* A new Debug interface allows debug logs from processes such as connection
  managers to be gathered by a UI. telepathy-gabble implements the current
  draft, and Empathy contains a client for it.

Clarifications:

* fd.o #19183: clarify the relationship between Requests.NewChannels and
  the deprecated RequestChannel method.

Regards,
    Simon
