Gossip 0.4:
===========
Imendio is proud to announce yet another release of Gossip. Since 0.3 we
have gotten a lot of positive feedback about Gossip. We've also seen a
lot of people interested in helping out in the development of Gossip.

What is Gossip?
===============
Gossip aims at making Jabber easy to use and tries to give GNOME users a
real user friendly way of chatting with their friends. Since this is the
first release (even though we have used it ourselves for over six
months) we are not there yet but we are working hard on getting Gossip
to be the natural choice for people who want instant messaging without
fuzz.

News in 0.4:
============
* SSL support through Loudmouth/GnuTLS.
* Chat window beautification.
* Added contact information button in chat window.
* Fixed the contact information window to actually show useful 
  information.
* Proper error checking when entering group chat.
* Plugged a couple of memory leaks.
* Support for autoaway.
* Fixed disconnect/connect problems.
* Support for disabling graphical smileys.

* Improvements to add contact dialog.
* Notification in titlebar when new messages arrive to unfocused 
  windows.

What is Jabber?
=============== 
Jabber is an open instant messaging XML-based protocol. It can be used
instead of ICQ, AIM, MSN, ... or together with them through gateways
(not supported in Gossip yet).
