The update consists of some of the things posted over at the bot thread.
FOLLOW radar and channel are live
HELP command for a list of commands (in case you forget),
PING command for testing if the bot is actually alive,
And then we have a lot of improvements in the bot logic:
replies to users can be sent with @nickname prefixed messages
if your jabber client supports XHTML-IM protocol, you will see nicely formatted messages and you will be able to click on the message author's name to see the message on the web.
...though, I'm not 100% happy about that QAIKU prefix for posting new messages. Those uppercase commands are a real bother to write on a mobile device.

Okay folks, so QAIKU prefix is no longer used for posting new Qaikus, you do it as was it was done before, by just typing a message to the bot (ping @bergie)
@eholmila I think that will get added in the next update, if we can just figure out a sensible way of doing it, I guess it should delete the last Qaiku you posted.
