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.

The "Dissociative identity disorder" release.

Dependencies:

 • telepathy-glib ≥ 0.11.13
 • telepathy-logger ≥ 0.1.5
 • folks ≥ 0.1.13

Thanks to the hard work of Philip Withnall and Travis Treitter, Empathy
finally gained meta-contacts support! There is still lots of work to do but
most the pieces are now in place. You can use the linking dialogue to
merge similar contacts together.

This is still in very early stage so some regressions have to be expected. If you
experience any please check for existing bug reports before reporting.
Most of the them should be filed using the 'Meta Contacts' component [1].

But meta-contacts support is the not the only new feature in this release!
Empathy should now report more useful error messages when failing to connect.
The preferences window gained an option to disable logging of chats
and the 'Details' pane of the call UI now displays information about the
candidates used to stream the audio/video data.
