What is it?
===========
Empathy is a messaging program which supports text, voice, and video
chat and file transfers over many different protocols.  Empathy is the
default chat client in GNOME, and is based on the Telepathy framework,
making it easier for other GNOME applications to integrate collaboration
functionality.

What's New?
===========
The "kangaroo currywurst" release.

Empathy now depends on PulseAudio to place calls. When using recent
versions of PulseAudio (≥ 0.99.2), Empathy now has echo cancellation
support.

The new, experimental, call UI gained some new calls features such as
UI to choose the audio and video device used, a new floating toolbar and
the ability to move the video preview using drag & drop.
Empathy and Gabble have to be built with Call support to use this new
UI.


Dependencies:

 • folks ≥ 0.6.0
 • libpulse and libpulse-mainloop-glib
