+The BarnOwl developers are pleased to announce the release of BarnOwl
+version 1.9.
+
+It has been installed in the barnowl Athena locker for squeeze, wheezy,
+lucid, and precise.  You also can download it from the website [1] or get
+the source from GitHub [2].  BarnOwl 1.9 contains various bug fixes and
+new features, including:
+
+• Facebook module.
+
+• The default config file has been renamed to ~/.owl/init.pl.  (The old
+names ~/.barnowlconf and ~/.owlconf are still supported.)
+
+• The terminal cursor is hidden when BarnOwl is not expecting textual
+input.
+
+• zsender has been fixed to work correctly with cross-realm classes.
+
+• Outgoing zephyrs are now explicitly marked as UTF-8.
+
+• The Zephyr default format has been replaced with a short pointer to
+http://mit.edu/df/.
+
+• :info now correctly displays multiline Zephyr fields and time zones.
+
+• zcrypt startup speed has been improved.
+
+• A crash on failure to launch zcrypt has been fixed.
+
+The full Changelog is available online [3].
+
+Thank you for using BarnOwl, and we hope you enjoy the new release.  As
+usual, any bug reports, questions, or feature requests can be directed to
+the developers at <barnowl@mit.edu>.
