-----------------------+--------------------------------
 Bitlbee 3.2.1 is out, with a range of improvements over 3.0.5.  From
 upstream:

 Version 3.0.6:
 - Updated MSN module to speak MSNP18:
   * Biggest change is that this brings MPOP support (you can sign in to
 one account from multiple locations).
   * Restored support for *sending* offline messages.
   * Some support for federated (i.e. Yahoo!) contacts. (Only messages
 might work, you won't see them online.)
 - Twitter:
   * Work-around for stalls that are still happening sometimes.
   * Added "favourite" command.
   * "show_ids" enabled by default.
 - Handle see-other-host Jabber messages which should fix support for MSN-
 XMPP.
 - Misc. fixes and improvements.

 Version 3.2:
 - By far the most important change, a thorough update to the Twitter
 module:
   * Now using Twitter API 1.1,
   * which means it's now using JSON instead of XML,
   * which means access to the streaming API (Twitter only, other Twitter
 API services don't seem to have it). No more 60-second polls, #twitter
 looks even more like real IRC now!
   * Also, the streaming API means nice things like receiving DMs.
   * show_ids, already enabled by default for a while, now uses hexa-
 decimal numbers, which means a 256-entry backlog instead of just 100.
   * Added a mode=strict setting which requires everything to be a command.
 The "post" command should then be used to post a Tweet.
 - Jabber module bugfix that fixes connection issues with at least Google
 Talk but reportedly some other servers (OpenFire?) as well.
 - SSL modules improved a little bit. GnuTLS module now supports SNI and
 session caching. Shouldn't change much, but hopefully reduces latency and
 bandwidth usage a little bit.
 - A bunch of other fixes/improvements here and there.

 Version 3.2.1:
 - Most important change: http_client updated to use HTTP/1.1, now required
 by Twitter.
 - fill_by setting can now be used to fill a channel contacts *not* in a
 certain group/on a certain account/etc. See "help set fill_by"
 - Added utf8_nicks setting which lets you use non-ASCII nicknames for your
 contacts. Might not work with all IRC clients, use at your own risk!
 - Lots of bugfixes.
