Kopete 0.12 released

On June 1st, 2006 Kopete 0.12.0 was released. There were tons of improvements in stability and usability and some great new features added:

• New chatwindow theme engine using Adium themes
  The new engine uses xhtml/css instead of xml/xslt stuff which makes it much faster and easier to develop new themes. There are also a lot of themes on the adium site.
  

• GetHotNewStuff reactivated
  GHNS makes it easy to download new chatwindow and emoticon themes. Just pick the one of your choice and click install. That's easy, isn't it? :)
  
  
• UI Improvements
  There are a lot of nice new icons all over kopete which makes it look even better. Also the menus and toolbars have been harmonised between the different protocols.
