New release - 0.8.0

[prawnsalad]

After a lot of hard work and hair pulling, some major server side changes have been made to greatly reduce memory usage.

Switching socket.io for its related engine.io solved a lot of issues, giving Kiwi a noticable performance gain and less client-side issues for users. Combined with much improved client settings management to reduce the effects of caching this release is now much more stable and easier to manage all round.

Among many bug fixes, some highlights:

- Client Updates 

New translations: Traditional Chinese, Italian, Dutch

Numerous emoticons

Desktop (HTML5) notifications

Specifiying the IRC connection encoding in a widgets URL (eg. &encoding=utf8)

- Server Updates

Greatly improved memory usage

"jumpserver" command to jump connected clients to an alternate kiwi server

IRC connectins now throttled for flood control

So... How *does* one add the &encoding=utf8 into the URL?
