NEW in 0.8:
===========
 - Fixed contact list handling.
 - Make use of NetworkManager to set presence to OFFILE 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.

   manually to away.

NEW in 0.5:
===========

   signal if we don't already know that contact from a contact list channel.

   empathy-proto-irc.

NEW in 0.4:
===========
 - contact list refactoring: EmpathyContactList is an iface implemented by
   EmpathyTpContactList, EmpathyContactManager and EmpathyTpChatroom.
   GossipContactList splitted into GossipContactListStore and
   GossipContactListView, it can display any object implementing the
   EmpathyContactList iface. Make possible to set custom functions to define
   the groups of a contact, by default it gets the "group" property of the
   GossipContact object. This make possible to reuse the contact list UI from
   the main window for chatrooms where groups are the role/affiliation of the
   contact on that room.

   30min after that.
