What is it?
===========
Empathy consists of a rich set of reusable instant messaging widgets,
and a GNOME client using those widgets. It uses Telepathy and Nokia's
Mission Control, and reuses Gossip's UI. The main goal is to permit
desktop integration by providing libempathy and libempathy-gtk
libraries. libempathy-gtk is a set of powerful widgets that can be
embeded into any GNOME application.

You can visit the project web site:
http://live.gnome.org/Empathy

What's New?
===========
- This version needs mission-control-5 instead of the now deprecated
   mission-control-4. As result, libmission-control-client and libtelepathy are
   not required anymore.

 - Empathy can now optionally use ConnMan instead of NetworkManager.

 - libgnome-keyring is now required, it is used to migrate accounts created with
   MissionControl4, because password were saved in the keyring. Unfortunately
   the new MissionControl is not using the keyring yet, so your password will be
   written in plain text. Keyring support will soon be added in a future
   MissionControl-5 release.

 - Empathy now uses libunique to prevent running it twice.
