 * Fixed smiley ordering in the insert smiley popup to be more intuitive
 * Conversation->More menu items work for Chats as well as Buddies,
   including those not on your buddy list
 * newline plugin should work better with conversation colors plugin now
 * Get Info on users now provides immediate feedback that something is
   happening
 * Aliasing a buddy will not be interrupted by other buddy list activity
 * Using the -l option to log in to a specific account works better

 libpurple:
 * Moving an ICQ buddy from one group to another no longer
   re-requests authorization from that person (Rene Hausleitner)

 * Fixed SOCKS5 bug which caused Jabber file receiving to fail
 * Remove MSN's random "Authorization Failed" dialogs
 * Fix MSN to correctly detect incorrect passwords and disable the account
 * Get User Info on MSN is now more reliable & accurate
 * Updated SILC protocol to support SILC Toolkit 1.1 (Pekka Riikonen)
 * Fix for some QQ authentication problems
 * Fix for building on FreeBSD
 * Prevent "Logged in:" times for AIM buddies being ridiculously high
 * Updates and fixes to Bonjour support

version 2.0.1 (05/24/2007):
 * Buddy list update speedups when buddy icons are not being
   displayed. (Scott Wolchok)
 * Fix icons on docklet change status menu to match the status selector
 * Custom smileys on MSN can be saved by right-clicking on them
 * Fix a crash deleting a buddy that is in the Buddy List more than once
 * Compile fixes for Solaris
 * Fix GTalk formatting when there's a space before/after a */_
 * Fix Log viewer crash when the filename is not in the expected format
 * Get User Info now provides immediate feedback, and is updated when the
   user information is available
 * Make the choose buddy icon dialog correctly list the current directory

 * Don't escape html entities in Yahoo! system messages
 * Fix for the choose buddy icon dialog resizing strangely as files are selected

   messages

   has gone from typing -> not typing -> typing

   unencrypted channel

 * Ctrl+[shift]+tab focuses the next most active tab (William Thompson)
 * Fix Open Hotmail Inbox for MSN to work more reliably
 * Add a Google Talk item to the protocol list, to help users who think
   we don't support Google Talk. The item acts just like "XMPP".
 * Remember if the X server supports XScreenSaver, to avoid waking it
   every 5 seconds. (Arjan van de Ven with Intel Corporation)
 * Change our idle checking to poll only as necessary and raise the
   unidle timeout from 5 seconds to 60 when using XScreenSaver. This
   and the XScreenSaver change will reduce Pidgin's effect on power
   consumption when running with NO_HZ. (Arjan van de Ven with Intel
   Corporation)

 * ALSA added as a possible sound method

 * Notify when you leave a chat
 * Work around an ncurses bug which appears when half of a multi-cell
   character is covered by an upper-level window
 * New plugins are shown in bold text in the plugin dialog
 * Nicer HTML screendumps
