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 "Big one" release.

Dependencies:

 • Folks ≥ 0.5.1
 • GStreamer ≥ 0.10.32
 • telepathy-glib ≥ 0.15.1
 • telepathy-logger ≥ 0.2.8
 • telepathy-farstream (optional)
 • geocode-glib (optional)
 • libcheese (optional)

Empathy has now a brand new log viewer displaying calls as well as
chats.
Your telepathy-logger has to be built with call support to be able to
enjoy this feature.

We now support CSS variants in Adium themes (WebKit 1.4.1 recommended).
If built with libcheese, Empathy can now use a webcam to create an
avatar.

This release also brings empathy-call, a new experimental handler for
Call channels, our new audio/video API that is going to replace
StreamedMedia channels.
If you wish to test it, you'll need to install telepathy-farstream.
This new handler can easily be disabled by passing --enable-call=no
during the configure.
