What's new in this version:

- Changed the default tab switching shortcuts for new users to Control-Tab/Control-Shift-Tab, to match Safari. This was meant to be done for 1.5.4 but it did not work that time.
- XMPP: refer to XMPP as "XMPP (Jabber)". Unfortunately, just "XMPP" still has some potential for confusion.
- Fixed SIP accountnames to be case-sensitive.
- Enabled a large number of TLS cipher suites, including ECC suites and suites new in TLS 1.2.
- Fix a problem causing Sametime login to fail.
- Try to avoid Twitter's rate limiting causing Adium to go in a reconnection loop.
- Don't try to download images included in HTML when pasting in the text field.
