Multiple accounts can be saved in the settings file
Use the Renga icon instead of the lightbulb everywhere (following XEP-0263 ECO-XMPP recommendation)

Hovering on links in the chat view shows a linkmouse cursor, and right click shows a popup menu where you can easily copy the link
Move out of GitHub, Renga is now hosted on my personal Gerrit/Trac instance
