Release Name: 2.0.2

Notes:
2.0.2 (6/14/2007):
        Sean: Another big maintenance release. Again, about 100 tickets were
        resolved in this release, and they keep coming in. Lots of bug fixes,
        some minor icon adjustements, hopefully we addressed some ICQ
        internationalization issues, and support for Bonjour on Windows!
        Our next release will be 2.1.0, and will come with some great new
        features.

        Stu: I think we're gradually getting the hang of this 3 week thing
        again. This release includes yet more bug fixes. I'd also like to
        specifically thank Pekka Riikonen for the patch to enable using SILC
        Toolkit 1.1 with Pidgin/libpurple that is included in this release.
