What is it?
===========
Empathy is a messaging program which supports text, voice, and video chat and file transfers over many different protocols. Empathy uses Telepathy for protocol support and has an user interface based on Gossip. Empathy is the default chat client in current versions of GNOME, making it easier for other GNOME applications to integrate collaboration functionality using Telepathy.

What's New?
===========
The "Let's drop half of our code" release.

This is the first release in the 2.29.x development branch.
Most users should continue to use the 2.28.x stable branch for now.

In this release we removed the megaphone and nothere applets which were not
really maintained and were about to die with GNOME 3 anyway.
We also stopped pretending being a library and stopped to ship libempathy
and libempathy-gtk as shared libraries. We encourage projects to use
telepathy-glib instead and help us create a new telepathy-gtk library.

The Empathy plugin for nautilus-sendto has been moved in Empathy itself.
Distributions should add a build dependency on nautilus-sendto if they
want to build this plugin.
