What is Gossip
==============

Gossip is an instant messaging client for GNOME with an easy-to-use 
interface, providing users of the GNOME Desktop with a friendly way to 
keep in touch with their friends.

What's new in Gossip 0.11
=========================

- Added a smiley menu and context menu for chat windows (Martyn). 
- Added the ability to view message history (Martyn).
- Make use of the GtkAboutDialog (Martyn).
- Reworked the 'x' in chat tabs so that it replaces the presence
icon when the pointer is hovering over it. Clicking the 'x' will still
close the tab. Comments relating to this change can be found against
the original bug #322030 (Martyn).  

It is important to note that the NEW message history feature has meant
that the conversation logs are now stored differently to previous
versions of Gossip. This means that older logs will not be viewable with
the new work. 

You can still go to the log directory (~/.gnome2/Gossip/logs) to
retrieve older conversations.
