Release notes for CoyIM 0.3.9

We are very proud to release CoyIM 0.3.9!

It’s been a longer time than expected, but this release has finally arrived, with a lot of great bug fixes and some new features as well - among those support for SMP and file and directory transfer. Compatibility has also been bumped up to Golang 1.7. Finally, we took the decision to remove the command-line interface, since it was draining resources and didn’t seem to have much uptake.
