+	  in a group on the buddy list.

+	* Various memory cleanups when unloading libpurple. (Nick Hebner and
+	  Stefan Becker)
+	* Report idle time 'From last message sent' should work properly.
+	* Better handling of corrupt certificates in the TLS Peers cache.
+	* More efficient buddy list and conversation search functions.
+	  (Jan Kaluza and Aman Gupta)

+	* Escape HTML entities in usernames when written with the HTML logger.

+
+	DNS:
+	* DNS servers are re-read when DNS queries fail in case the system has
+	  moved to a new network and the old servers are not accessible.
+	* DNS SRV records with equal priority are sorted with respect to their
+	  weight as specified in RFC 2782.  (Vijay Raghunathan)

+
+	Environment Variables:
+	* GnuTLS logging (disabled by default) can be controlled through the

+	  "off" variable.  Set it to any value to turn it on and unset it to turn
+	  it off.  This will optionally be used to only show less useful debug
+	  information on an as-needed basis.
+	* PURPLE_LEAKCHECK_HELP environment variable.  Currently, this is an "on"
+	  or "off" variable.  Set it to any value to turn it on and unset it to
+	  turn it off.  This will be used to perform various actions that are
+	  useful when running libpurple inside of Valgrind or similar programs.

+	  but it should resolve at least some of the most common ones.
+	* The pager server will automatically update to scsa.msg.yahoo.com if the
