As usual with our 2.0 point releases, it contains a lot of bug fixes, but also general improvements, and even some new features. Here is a quick highlight of the changes in this new version:

Added a small toggle button on the contact list to quickly enable/disable the "Now Listening" feature.

Implemented the new KDE4 system tray specification.

Added ability to drag-and-drop ink drawings from the conversation into the ink editor in order to be edited again.

Fixed bug which caused KMess to fail to connect, instead giving an "Invalid Command Parameter" error.

Fixed bug which caused the user's display picture to be reset upon login.

Fixed bug where status was not changed from Idle upon wake up from sleep.

Updated many translations.

And various other smaller updates and fixes...
