Hopefully it's stable now. It will now compile by default if you have D-Bus support and NetworkManager.h. (Elliott Sales de Andrade)</i></li><li><i>MSN buddy list synchronization is now more forgiving, only asking about buddies who have disappeared completely from the server list and not those that have simply moved groups.</i></li><li><i>IRC will now try to append 1-9 to your nick if it is in use, instead of substituting the last character with 1-9 where possible.</i></li><li><i>Bonjour buddies will be saved persistently if they're moved out of the "Bonjour" group.

This should help people who regularly paste code in conversations.</i></li><li><i>Add a preference to choose the minimum size of the text input area in lines.</i></li><li><i>Moved the "Local alias" field in the Modify Account dialog to be below the "User Options" heading on the "Basic" tab.</i></li><li><i>Number of room occupants is now shown in chat tooltips where possible</i></li></ul></i></li><li><i><b>General</b><ul><li><i>The configure script now dies on more absent dependencies. The --disable-xxx arguments to configure can be used to bypass unneeded dependencies. This will also cause the configure script to die if an --enable-xxx option is used and the dependencies it requires are missing.</i></li><li><i>The Evolution integration plugin must now be explicitly enabled. Use the --enable-gevolution argument to configure to enable it.</i></li><li><i>The Contact Availability Prediction plugin must now be explicitly enabled. Use the --enable-cap argument to configure to enable it.</i></li></ul></i></li><li><i><b>Finch</b><ul><li><i>New default binding ctrl+x to open context menus.</i></li><li><i>Menu triggers and other bindings will no longer conflict.</i></li><li><i>Middle click pastes the internal clipboard (when mouse support is enabled).</i></li></ul></i></li></ul></blockquote>
