Do not use srand()/rand() if better alternatives exist (mirabilos)
arc4random(3) is a self-seeding PRNG available on a lot of OSes (all BSDs,
Darwin / Mac OSX, Interix / Microsoft® Services for Unix, Windows® 2003SR1,
Windows® Vista, Debian with the new libbsd package installed, ???) and much
better than srand(3)/rand(3).
Thanks to GNU autoconf, this can be made portable.

mcabber (0.9.5) * The option 'otr' must now be set in the configuration file in order to be able to use the OTR (Off-The-Record messaging) support. -- Mikael, 2007-11-19 mcabber (0.9.4) * The option 'hide_offline_buddies' is deprecated, the new option roster_display_filter should be used instead. -- Mikael, 2007-10-27 mcabber (0.9.1) * The Ctrl-q binding is not hardcoded anymore and should be set in the configuration file. -- Mikael, 2007-02-10 mcabber (0.8.0) * Mcabber now does SSL server certificate verification, and it is enabled by default. You can disable the certificate verification with the 'ssl_verify' option. See the sample configuration file for details. -- Mikael, 2006-08-13 mcabber (0.7.5) * History log files are now stored using UTF-8 format. If you have enabled history logging, you need to convert your existing logfiles. For example, you can use the following command to convert all ISO-8859-15 files in directory $histodir to UTF-8: $ recode iso-8859-15..utf-8 $histodir/* (There are other tools: convmv, utrac...) * The names of the color options have changed, please check your configuration file if you have customized your colors. The sample config. file has been updated. -- Mikael, 2006-04-03 mcabber (0.6.5) * The "debug" option has been replaced with the tracelog_level and tracelog_file options. The sample config. file has been updated, so you should have a look at it if you want to use advanced logging. -- Mikael, 2005-07-25 mcabber (0.6.4) * The configuration file format has changed. Options need to be set using the "set" keywords. The sample config. file has been updated. -- Mikael, 2005-07-18 mcabber (0.6.2) * Support for old style (i.e. < 0.6.1) history logfiles has been removed. You can upgrade your logfiles with the script "contrib/conv_log_dates.pl" if you haven't already done it. * The colors option names have changed (and they aren't mandatory anymore). Please look at the sample config. file to update your mcabberrc. -- Mikael, 2005-07-11
