The BarnOwl Developers are pleased to announce the release of BarnOwl
version 1.4.

It has been installed in the Athena locker, and you can download it
from the website [1] or get the source from Github [2]. BarnOwl 1.4
contains various bug fixes and new features, including most notably:

* Better support for non-ASCII unicode characters in many places,
  including both sending and receiving non-ASCII characters over AIM
  and IRC.

* When using background colors (via "filter -b"), the lines containing
  colored messages will now be uniformly colored across the entire
  line.

* Tab completion for the 'aimwrite' command has been added.

* Several small but annoying edit window bugs have been fixed,
  including the behavior of zdots with trailing whitespace in the
  buffer.

The full Changelog is available online [3].

Thank you for using BarnOwl, and we hope you enjoy the new release. As
usual, any bug reports, questions, or feature requests can be directed
to the developers at <barnowl@mit.edu>.
