   offline message or if account gets reconnected.

NEW in 0.21.1:
=============
 - Cleanup licences and copyrights, Modules with 100% collabora code are now
   relicenced to LGPL.
 - Hide main window with ALT-F4.
 - Set chat state to ACTIVE when receiving a message from a contact, avoid
   staying in COMPOSING state forever for protocols like MSN that do not notify
   when contact stoped writing.
 - Don't use deprecated Gtk/GLib API. Mainly replace GtkTooltips by new
   tooltip API from GTK 2.12.
 - Use g_timeout_add_seconds when appropriated to avoid weaking the process too
   much.
 - Implement EmpathyAvatarChooser and EmpathyAvatarImage and make use of them in
   contact information windows. That means we can now enlarge avatars when
   clicking on it and we can set our own avatar if we edit our own contact.

   not possible to set our own alias/avatar.

   menu and action when double-click on a contact.
 - Add 2 properties to EmpathyIdle to activate auto-away and auto-disconnect,

   other processes are running with an EmpathyIdle instance they won't change
   presence in the same time than Empathy client.
 - Cache avatars in ~/.gnome2/Empathy/avatars.
 - Adding a test program, useful to use with valgrind.

   times "Topic set to:" message.

 - Filter incoming text channels and make status icon flash when there we
   receive a new message. Dispatch the channel only when we get a message and
   the user click on the icon.

   NOT STABLE AT ALL !!!

NEW in 0.8:

   and restore presence once we are reconnected.

   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
