-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2008-7712 2008-09-05 11:02:52 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name : bitlbee Product : Fedora 8 Version : 1.2.2 Release : 1.fc8 URL : http://www.bitlbee.org/ Summary : IRC to other chat networks gateway Description : Bitlbee is an IRC to other chat networks gateway. Bitlbee can be used as an IRC server which forwards everything you say to people on other chat networks like ICQ, MSN, Jabber or Yahoo! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: Upstream released Bitlbee 1.2.2 with the following changes to the former release: - Security bugfix: It was possible to hijack accounts (without gaining access to the old account, it's simply an overwrite) - Some more stability improvements. - Fixed bug where people with non-lowercase nicks couldn't drop their account. - Easier upgrades of non-forking daemon mode servers (using the DEAF command). - Can be cross-compiled for Win32 now! (No support for SSL yet though, which makes it less useful for now.) - Exponential backoff on auto-reconnect. - Changing passwords gives less confusing feedback ("password is empty") now.
