What is it?
===========
Empathy consists of a rich set of reusable instant messaging widgets, and a GNOME client using those widgets. It uses Telepathy and Nokia’s Mission Control, and reuses Gossip’s UI. The main goal is to permit desktop integration by providing libempathy and libempathy-gtk libraries. libempathy-gtk is a set of powerful widgets that can be embeded into any GNOME application.

What’s New?
===========
– Fixed contact list handling.
– Make use of NetworkManager to set presence to OFFLINE when we are disconnected
and restore presence once we are reconnected.
– UI for searching in conversation history and to view all conversations with
a given contact.
– Do not use 2 different processes (empathy and empathy-chat), merge them
into one client. This is easier for debugging and share data.
– Do not create log directory for a chat if there is no messages to put in.
– Do not set active contacts when creating the store, and when contact groups
changed.
– Fix warning when using command-line options.
– Ignore ssl errors by default. This is needed to connect jabber accounts
using ssl.

– Lots of bugs fixed.
