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 "125 files changed, 33088 insertions(+), 43358 deletions(-)"
release.

This is the first beta release in the 3.4 cycle and it's massive!

Our new call UI has finally landed. It uses Clutter and Farstream and so
introduces a bunch of new dependencies. You'll need the
soon-to-be-released telepathy-gabble 0.15.4 to use it. SIP is not yet
usable with this new UI, a future release of telepathy-rakia should fix
that soon. Regressions have to be expected so please make sure to
include Empathy.Call logs when reporting bugs.

This release also stops using telepathy-butterfly and now relies on
telepathy-haze to connect to MSN. Accounts should be automatically
migrated with the next telepathy-mission-control release (5.11.0) (if
telepathy-haze is installed). We recommend that distributions install it
by default if they were previously installing telepathy-butterfly.

Empathy now relies on gnome-contacts to display contacts' details and
link contacts together. If gnome-contacts is not installed, Empathy will
suggest to install it using PackageKit. Distributions should consider
adding a dependency on gnome-contacts.

The accounts assistant has been removed and its features integrated into
the accounts dialog.

The debug window gained the ability to display the logs from all the
components together and to upload them easily to pastebin.

Dependencies:
 • clutter ≥ 1.7.14
 • clutter-gst
 • clutter-gtk
 • farstream
 • telepathy-farstream ≥ 0.2.1
 • telepathy-glib ≥ 0.17.5
 • farsight2 and telepathy-farsight are no longer needed
