+	anything around here! (Just kidding, of course.)  LOTS of new features
+	and a crapton of bugfixes this release.  There should pretty much be
+	something for everybody.  A great example of this is the ton of Yahoo
+	changes that have happened thanks to our SoC student from 2008, Sulabh
+	Mahajan.  Among his massive improvements are the ability to add MSN
+	buddies by adding them as "msn/user@domain.tld" and peer-to-peer file
+	transfers.  Of course, history shows we can't please everyine, so I'm
+	sure I'll see a complaint or five thousand in trac.  Enjoy, though!

 	Marcus: This is my first news! It's been quite a few microreleases this

 	John:  This release is another somewhat rushed bugfix release to fix
 	a number of bugs that have come up since we released Pidgin 2.5.7.
