-*update*
 From version 0.5.0, pidgin-twitter automatically escapes annoying
 "pseudo command" in sending message. A pseudo command is a message
 like "¤Ë¤Û¤ó¤´w" or "....w" and it will be wrongly interpreted as an
 incomplete command message so that twitter gives us an error massage.
 
+*update*
+In version 0.6.0, various new features have been added. Letter counter
+for composing message is useful for keeping track of the length limit
+of twitter message and oops suppression will give users who mainly use
+multi byte characters comfortable twittering. And also, from version
+0.6.0, pidgin-twitter strips any markup elements from sending message,
+so the posts from pidgin-twitter are always kept sane.

+Letter counter will appear on the format bar in a pidgin conversation
+window. This counter keeps track of length of composing string in
+character since the hard limit of message length is applied by
+character count basis. If the composing message exceeds 140
+characters, the displayed number will turn red to notify the excess.
+This feature is enabled by default. You can disable this via configure
+window.
 
-5. Histroy
+Suppress oops message feature may require explanation. If we send a
+message which is longer than 140 bytes, twitter will send us back an
+oops message to notify the excess of the limit. However, the actual
+limit is computed on internal representation of characters so that the
+messages which does not exceed 140 letters will actually be
+accepted. Suppress oops message feature will silently discards *false*
+oops message in this situation. This feature can also be configured
+via configure window.
+
+Strip markup feature is for keeping posts sane by striping excess
+markup in sending message. This feature is always enabled and cannot
+be configured.
