msn-pecan 0.0.19 released, more stability and “now playing” support

This is mostly a bugfix release that should make msn-pecan much more stable. Bug also brings some nice features such as “now playing” support.

Everyone is encouraged to update.

I’ve been busy with other projects so I have not been able to work as
much as I would have wanted, but all in all, this is a good release.

The features (thanks to Devid) include support for “now
playing” (ported from libpurple), and a new way to be notified when a
contact has deleted you (you’ll see on the conversation window). Also,
some issues in Adium were fixed, so we will probably roll an Adium
build with msn-pecan enabled.

I’ve updated my system so it might take a while before the win32
binaries are uploaded, anyone willing to take this one?

  1. @Wetterhornli yeap, there’s a windows version for the previous release, but I haven’t managed to do that for this release… I’ll add a comment here when it’s ready
