 build.git/commit/?id=b1c51f30108667a017bdb620dbdd39c59373ad60 b1c51f3].

 Tor Messenger will now configure (XMPP) accounts for known servers to
 automatically use the onion address if available. The current list of
 servers we have borrowed are from `xmpp-client` and are `riseup.net`,
 `jabber.ccc.de`, `jabber.otr.im` and `jabber.calyxinstitute.org`. For now,
 the default server is `jabber.org` and users have to manually enter the
 name of the service they want to use.

 This process is transparent to the user (but requires no input from them
 so as to keep it easy) and in case the connection doesn't work or they
 don't want to use a hidden service, they can choose to omit this step.
