- Update to 3.6:
- Removed msn, skype, oscar (icq/aim). For msn/skype use skypeweb, for
ICQ use icyque. AIM is just dead.
- Fix twitter (disable stream setting, set tweet length to 280)
Note that users of 3.5.1 and older can re-enable twitter support by
changing these two settings:
account twitter set stream off
account twitter set message_length 280
- Add server-time IRCv3 capability

* purple:
Fix crash on file transfer requests from unknown contacts.
This was the result of an incomplete fix in the previous
release and may result in remote DoS. Read the full security
advisory at: https://bugs.bitlbee.org/ticket/1282
* After some investigation we decided to reclassify a crash fix
from the previous release as a security issue. Read the full security
advisory at: https://bugs.bitlbee.org/ticket/1281
* Included help.txt in the release tarball, which was missing in
the previous release and resulted in adding python as a build
dependency. The release tarball of 3.5.1 does not require python.

here is a full list of changes i did there:
- Added init.d and systemd to be able run the bitlbee as standard service.
- Rc$service script is runnig as symlink for systemd and init.d.
- Improved way how user bitlbee is add into system via rpm.
- Fixed warning about wrong license:
its still "GNU General Public License version 2 (GPL v2)" but osc marks it
via shorcut : GPL-2.0+
- The PID directory is /var/run/bitlbee/ or /run/bitlbee/ depends on the version.
- The PID directory is created via systemd or initd script, bacuse its in tmpfs.
- Each BuildRequires is on one line to avoid duplicate packages.
- Removed if for SLES9 - not need any more
- Run spec-clean on the spec file and fixed a small bug is spec file after clearing no "fixme" any more there.
ps : the warning bitlbee.x86_64: W: call-to-mktemp /usr/sbin/bitlbee need to be patch in future, however my C skills are very low ....

- Merged Skype support. This used to be a separate plugin, and it
still is, but by including it with BitlBee by default it will
be easier to keep it in sync with changes to BitlBee.
- Fixed a file descriptor leak bug that may have caused strange
behaviour in BitlBee sessions running for a long time.
- Now fetches Twitter mentions as well if the "fetch_mentions"
account setting is enabled.
- With t.co now all over Twitter, show the original (but
truncated) URL between <brackets>.
- Fixed MSN Messenger login issues ("timeout" while fetching
buddy list).
- Another (related) GnuTLS compatibility fix (now 2.13+?).
