+       * 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>).
