What is it?
===========
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?
===========

Gossip now depends on Loudmouth 1.3.4

Note: this has a TCP issue which means connections are sometimes dropped
on some routers, to fix this, compile Loudmouth by disabling TCP
stayalives. You can do this by editing the config.h file after
configuring the package and commenting out the USE_TCP_KEEPALIVES #define.

It is also recommended that the --with-asyncns switch is used when
building Loudmouth so there are no synchronous DNS lookups blocking the
user interface from drawing.

Also new is that group chat backend has been refactored to fix a number
of issues. This mostly affects private chat between contacts from chatrooms.

===========
- Fixed #347026, groupchat topic is changed local even though user have
not the permission (Martyn Russell)
