2.3.1 (12/7/2007):
Stu: I'm sorry for the MSN problems and the plugin crashes in 2.3.0.
Hopefully this will redeem us. This fixes a number of bugs. I'm a
bit late but I'd like to welcome John to the team. Enjoy!

Luke: I've done absolutely nothing in the last 2 weeks, except watch
others commit bug and, more, leak fixes. People should be noticing
remarkably fewer memory leaks now than 2 or more releases ago.

Kevin: I'm not quite sure what happened to our MySpaceIM Summer of
Code student, but I fixed a few MySpace bugs with idle and status.
I will try to fix some of the other more significant bugs, after I
figure out the protocol, especially including grouping issues.
