+       * Basic class extensions: Module#define_structure() method. Syntax:
+               define_structure :SomeName, :attr_a, :attr_b
+       is equivalent to
+               SomeName = Struct.new("SomeName", :attr_a, :attr_b)
+       except that the new Struct is not created if it already exists and the
+       attributes list is the same.

+
+       * HttpUtil: major rework. get_response() method now respects
+       caching (can be turned off via options) and supports different HTTP
+       methods (GET (default), HEAD and POST) and ranged requests. get() and
+       head() methods are now just a thin wrappers around get_request().
+       Semantics for user-supplied &block has been made consistent across
+       these methods.
+       * HttpUtil: get_cached() method has been removed (obsoleted by new
+       get()). post() method has been added. get_partial() method for ranged
+       requests has been added. Net::HTTPResponse partial_body() method has
+       been removed (mostly because it won't play well with future HTTP
+       encodings support), please use get_partial() or get_request() instead.
+       * Utils: http_get() method has been removed (long obsoleted by
+       HttpUtil)
+       * different plugins: modified to accomodate for HttpUtil changes.

+
+       * HttpUtil: new get_response method to follow redirects and get an
+       Net::HTTPResponse object with an open connection, allowing partial
+       body retrieval.
+       * HttpUtil: extend Net::HTTPResponse with a #partial_body() method. The
+       method take an argument (max bytes to download) and an optional block;
+       the method yields all the partial content that it's being downloaded,
+       instead of the single chunks yield by #read_body().
+       * url plugin: use the new HttpUtil methods.
+       * url plugin: do not block while trying to get link info.

+
+       * Socket filtering: socket data, both input and output, can now be
+       filtered. This is used for example to transcode all input and output
+       so that messages are internally managed as UTF-8. By default, the bot
+       will try cp1252 (Windows Western European) encoding for non-UTF-8
+       strings. Thanks to jsn (Dmitry Kim <dmitry.kim@gmail.com>).

        * IRC settings: ability to change the IRC name for the bot. Thanks to
