Add a simple scheduling algorithm that will make sure Passerd don't kill the Twitter API rate-limit if the user joins too many Passerd channels.
Fix auto-@ of nickname replies when nicknames have digits on it
Set timeout on API calls to avoid getting stuck if HTTP requests take too long to reply
Retweets are shown as messages from the original poster, with a note by passerd-bot (configurable by !be concise option)
Multi-line tweets aren't shown as multiple lines anymore (configurable by !be verbose option)
Lower-level !config command to set specific configuration variables
Support for running Passerd in daemon mode
Retweet support using !rt command

Don't continue refreshing feeds if rate-limit is hit. This is a temporary solution until a true rate-limit-adjusting scheduler is written
Unify passerd-bot commands and implementation of !command on #twitter
- Including a help system
Add a !post command (aliases: !tw, !twit, !update)
Paranoid mode: if you are afraid of posting by mistake when typing on your IRC client, you can enable a "paranoid" mode using the !be paranoid command. When in this mode, you can only post to twitter using !post (or the aliases above)

Updated twitty-twister version. On 0.0.4, I forgot to update the twitty-twister git commit reference, and broke twitter posting.

Fix a problem on the OAuth access token request method. A POST request with no Content-Length may case a 411 Length Required error (probably on some proxy servers).
- Thanks to Bogdano Arendartchuk for the fix.

Ability to follow lists using #@username/list channels
Ability to get updates from a single user using #@username channels
Implement #mentions channel, for mentions of @username
OAuth support! Now you don't need to give your Twitter password to Passerd (and you'll get a nice "from Passerd" note on your Twits. :)
Optional nickserv-style authentication support
Better error messages (using a passerd-bot IRC user)
Now with a real (but still a bit ugly) web page at passerd.raisama.net
