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.
Where can I find out more?

What's New?
==========
- Initial room list support. It doesn't work yet but most of the code
is ready.
- Tell the user when a message can't be sent.
- Set all contacts from salut protocol to the "Local Network" group.
- Fix NetworkManager support.
- Iconify main window to the status icon like in rhythmbox.
- Show avatars in chatrooms.
- Fix avatar not being requested when empathy starts.
- Remove unused nickname entry and use a GtkTable for room information.
- Set a window title and fix alignment of widgets for contact related
dialogs
(add, edit/view info).
- Adding initial API documentation using gtk-doc.
- Auto-accept to publish presence to contacts that are in our subscribe
list.
When accepting a pending contact add it to publish and subscribe
list.
- Filter incoming text channels and make status icon flash when there
we
receive a new message. Dispatch the channel only when we get a
message and
the user click on the icon.

API is
NOT STABLE AT ALL !!!
