+- update to 0.8.17
+  + Document that SSL connections aren't properly handled during
+    /UPGRADE. See Github PR #39.
+  + Synchronize scripts with scripts.irssi.org.
+  + Performance enhancement of the nicklist as well as the
+    window_item_find function. See Github PR #24.
+  + Disallow unloading of static modules.
+  + Allow UTF-8 characters in /bind. See Github PR #18.
+  + Split overlong outgoing messages instead of silently truncating
+    them.
+    Adds two new options: 'split_line_end' and 'split_line_start'.
+    - 'split_line_end' contains a string added to the end of line
+      fragments.
+    - 'split_line_start' contains a string added to the beginning
+      of line
+    fragments. See Github PR #29.
+  + Added special /ignore NO_ACT level to ignore only activity (see
+    /help ignore).
+  + Support for 256 and true color terminals (see Github PR #48).
+  + Support for italics (see Github PR #58).
+  + Rewrote many help files.
+  - Fixed various compiler warnings and use of deprecated
+    functions.
+  - Fixed Perl API usage and added PERL_NO_GET_CONTEXT to reduce
+    code size.
+  - Fixed format_get_text Perl API. See Github PR #23.
+  - Fixed gui_printtext_after and term_refresh_*() visibility. See
+    Github PR #22.
+  - Fixed issue where UTF-8 characters was corrupted once for every
+    32k text. See Github PR #12.
+  - Fixed redrawing issue with right-aligned statusbar.
+  - Fixed use-after-free bug with cached settings values. See
+    Github PR #147.
