Wiki article for upgrades from earlier versions

Among the innovations, it is worth noting the revised system of protocol modules with multi-account support right out of the box (wait for a separate article about it;), support for SSL and XML in the kernel, compress HTTP traffic, check SSL certificates and minor processing in NetLib.

Also, the code was refactored and a slow transition to the PLO-rails began.

Well and from trifles - the main code storage moved from SourceForge to Google Code
