1.2.0 - August 29, 2003

! A package structure and documentation has been added for Smack extensions, which cover extensions to the XMPP protocol. The initial extensions are for message events (JEP 22), roster item exchange (JEP 93), entity time (JEP 90), and private data storage (JEP 49).
! The smack.providers file is now loaded from META-INF/smack.providers rather than WEB-INF/smack.providers. This location makes much more sense for generic JAR files, but may break existing provider implementations until the provider file is moved.
Fixed IQ error sub-packets.
The default packet extension handler didn't deal with empty elements well and also had a bug with attribute handling.
Added a ConnectionListener feature which allows clients to be notified of normally closed connections, and connections closed due to errors.
Fixed bug where the roster list could become corrupted after moving a user back and forther between groups.
Fixed bug where in some cases presence packets were not getting tracked by the Roster class correctly.
RosterListener has a new notification method that is called every time the presence of a user in the roster is updated.
Added Roster.getEntries() method to return all entries in the roster.
Added RosterGroup.contains(String) method to check to see if an XMPP address is part of the group.
Minor fixes to Javadocs.
Content can be copied and cleared from the debug window using a pop-up menu.
The Chat constructor that took an existing chatID as an argument did not propertly initialize support for message listeners.
Added support for anonymous logins.
IQ is now an abstract class.
Fixed bug where XHTML messgaes could cause parsing errors.

1.1.1 - June 25, 2003

Setting Object packet properties was broken.
Added getRoom() method to GroupChat.

New system to handle custom IQ packets and custom packet extensions through the new provider sub-package.
Added packet filters for packet extensions.
Added additional options for responding to subscription requests.

Added ability to set the ItemStatus on a roster packet.
Added remove option to roster packet.
Various documentation fixes/improvements.
Fixed NullPointer exception on the setName method of the RosterEntry class.
Groupchat class was listening for wrong message types -- fixed.
Changed properties element name to "properties" instead of "x". Note: this will break compatability between earlier versions if they are trying to send packet properties back and forth. However, we thought it was best to make this change now.
Turning on debugging via a system property wasn't working.
Fixed spelling error in Roster class method name.
Fixed stream not being closed properly.
The "to contains" and "from contains" filters now ignore case.

1.0.1 - April 30, 2003
