     <p>3.20 has been a big release for Polari, GNOME's IRC application. The
     online paste service feature that was introduced last release has been
-    substantially improved. In addition to being able to paste blocks of text
-    for sharing, it is now possible to paste images directly into chats, where
-    they are shared using <link href="http://imgur.com/";>Imgur</link>. In
-    addition, paste links no longer have to be separate chat posts.</p>
-    <p>Adding servers and rooms has also been improved for 3.20. Adding a
-    server is now just a matter of picking the one you want from a list, rather
-    than having to enter the address manually. This is not only easier, but also
-    ensures that the most secure connection is automatically selected.</p>
-    <p>In 3.20, server properties are now accessed from the sidebar, which is
-    more convenient and natural, and server passwords can now be used (this is
-    especially useful when using
