Implementation of the roomlist API.

Pidgin and Finch: The Pimpin' Penguin IM Clients That're Good for the Soul

version 2.4.0 (??/??/????):
	libpurple:
		Added:
		* purple_certificate_add_ca_search_path. (Florian Quèze)
		* purple_gai_strerror.
		* purple_major_version, purple_minor_version,
		  purple_micro_version variables are exported by version.h,
		  giving the version of libpurple in use at runtime.
		* purple_util_set_current_song, purple_util_format_song_info
		* Some accessor functions to the Roomlist API:
			* purple_roomlist_get_fields
			* purple_roomlist_room_get_type
			* purple_roomlist_room_get_name
			* purple_roomlist_room_get_parent
			* purple_roomlist_room_get_fields
			* purple_roomlist_field_get_type
			* purple_roomlist_field_get_label
			* purple_roomlist_field_get_hidden

	Pidgin:
		Added:
		* pidgin_create_dialog to create a window that closes on escape. Also
		  added utility functions pidgin_dialog_get_vbox_with_properties,
		  pidgin_dialog_get_vbox, pidgin_dialog_get_action_area to access the
		  contents in the created dialog. (Peter 'fmoo' Ruibal)
		* pidgin_dialog_add_button to add buttons to a dialog created by
		  pidgin_create_dialog.
		* GTK_IMHTML_NO_SMILEY for GtkIMHtmlOptions means not to look for
		  smileys in the text. (Florian 'goutnet' Delizy)
		* pidgin_auto_parent_window to make a window transient for a suitable
		  parent window.
		* pidgin_tooltip_setup_for_treeview, pidgin_tooltip_destroy,
		  pidgin_tooltip_show and pidgin_tooltip_setup_for_widget to simplify
		  the process of drawing tooltips.
		* pidgin_add_widget_to_vbox to simplify adding a labeled widget to a
		  window.

		Deprecated:
		* PIDGIN_DIALOG

	Finch:
		* finch_roomlist_get_ui_ops and finch_roomlist_show_all
		* finch_request_field_get_widget to get the widget for a request
		  field.

		libgnt:
		* Added gnt_tree_set_row_color to set the color for a row in a tree.
		* Added gnt_style_get_string_list
		* Added gnt_color_add_pair to define a new color.
		* Added gnt_colors_get_color to get an ncurses color value from a
		  string.
		* Added gnt_style_get_color to get a color pair from an entry in
		  ~/.gntrc

version 2.3.0 (11/24/2007):
	libpurple:
		Added:
		* a PurpleConversation field and an alias field in PurpleConvMessage
		* account-authorization signals (see account-signals.dox for
		  details) (Stefan Ott)
		* libpurple/purple.h, which includes #define's and #include's
		  required to compile stand-alone plugins
		* PURPLE_STATUS_TUNE as a new PurpleStatusPrimitive
		* purple_plugin_disable(), which is intended to be called when
		  a purple_plugin_unload()--which was called when a user tried
		  to unload a plugin--fails.  This then prevents the plugin
		  from being saved in the saved plugins list, so it'll won't
		  be loaded at the next startup.
		* PurpleDisconnectReason enumeration of machine-readable
		  types of connection error.
		* purple_connection_error_reason(), to be used by prpls
		  (instead of purple_connection_error() and setting
		  gc->wants_to_die) to report errors along with a
		  PurpleDisconnectReason.
		* PurpleConnectionUiOps.report_disconnect_reason, to be
		  implemented by UIs (rather than .report_disconnect) if
		  they want to use the reported PurpleDisconnectReason
		  to give a more specific error.
		* A connection-error signal, fired just after the UiOp is
		  called with the same information.
		* purple_connection_reason_is_fatal(), acting as a hint
		  to whether automatic reconnection should be attempted
		  after a connection error (rather than checking
		  gc->wants_to_die).
		* PurpleConnectionErrorInfo, a struct to hold a
		  PurpleConnectionError and a const char *description.
		* purple_account_get_current_error() to get the most recent
		  PurpleConnectionError and description (or NULL if the
		  account is happy with life), to allow bits of the UI to know
		  the last error without caching it themselves (as
		  PidginBuddyList does).
		* purple_account_clear_current_error() to reset an account's
		  error state to NULL.
		* An account-error-changed signal, firing when
		  purple_account_get_current_error()'s return value changes.

		* PidginMiniDialog, a Gtk widget-ified version of
		  pidgin_make_mini_dialog().

		* purple_util_init()
		* purple_util_uninit()

		* purple_network_listen_map_external() to temporarily disable
		  mapping ports externally via NAT-PMP or UPnP.

		Changed:
		* purple_plugin_unload() now honors the return value of a
		  plugin's unload function and can actually return FALSE now.
		* purple_plugin_unload() no longer does its own notifications
		  when a dependent plugin fails to unload.  The UI should do
		  something appropriate.

		* pidgin_make_mini_dialog() now declares its return type to be
		  GtkWidget * rather than void *.  This should not break any
		  existing code since any code using it must already rely on
		  the return type actually being GtkWidget * all along.

		Deprecated:
		* pidgin_dialogs_about()
		* pidgin_log_show_contact()
		* pidgin_log_show()
		* pidgin_plugin_dialog_show()
		* pidgin_pounce_editor_show()
		* pidgin_pounces_manager_show()
		* pidgin_syslog_show()

		* purple_connection_error()
		* pidgin_blist_update_account_error_state()
		* PidginBuddyList.connection_errors

		MSN:
		* A new independant status type with PURPLE_STATUS_TUNE primitive, and
		  PURPLE_TUNE_ARTIST, PURPLE_TUNE_ALBUM and PURPLE_TUNE_TITLE
		  attributes.

		XMPP:
		* A new independant status type with PURPLE_STATUS_TUNE primitive, and
		  PURPLE_TUNE_{ARTIST, TITLE, ALBUM, GENRE, COMMENT, TRACK, TIME,
		  YEAR, URL} attributes.

	Finch:
		libgnt:
		* Added gnt_color_pair, which will try to intelligenty set text
		  attributes in place of colors if the terminal doesn't have color
		  support. (Bug: #3560) All future code should use gnt_color_pair
		  instead of COLOR_PAIR.
		* Added gnt_menuitem_set_id and gnt_menuitem_get_id to set and get the
		  string id of a menuitem respectively.
		* Added gnt_window_get_accel_item, which returns a the id of a menuitem
		  bound to a keystroke.
		* Added gnt_menu_get_item to get a menuitem of the given id from a
		  menu.
		* Added gnt_menuitem_activate, which triggers the 'activate' signal on
		  the menuitem and calls the callback function, if available.
		* Added GntEntryKillRing in GntEntry.
		* Added gnt_window_set_maximize and gnt_window_get_maximize, and
		  GntWindowFlags enum.

version 2.2.2 (??/??/????):
	libpurple:
		Changed:
		* The size parameter of purple_util_write_data_to_file_absolute
		  has been changed to gssize instead of a size_t to correctly
		  indicate that -1 can be used for a nul-delimited string.
		* The documentation for purple_savedstatuses_get_popular used to
		  incorrectly claim that the active status is excluded from the
		  returned list. The documentation has been corrected. Also, the
		  function now returns a correct list when called with a value of 0.

version 2.2.0 (09/13/2007):
	libpurple:
		Added:
		* PURPLE_MESSAGE_INVISIBLE flag, which can be used by
		  purple_conv_im_send_with_flags to send a message, but not display it
		  in the conversation
		* serv_send_attention(), serv_got_attention(), as well as send_attention 
		  and attention_types in PurplePluginProtocolInfo. This new API is used
		  for zapping in MySpaceIM, buzzing in Yahoo, and nudging in MSN.
		* PurpleConvMessage structure to represent a message in a
		  conversation. purple_conversation_message_get_sender,
		  purple_conversation_message_get_message,
		  purple_conversation_message_get_flags and
		  purple_conversation_message_get_timestamp to get information about a
		  PurpleConvMessage.
		* purple_conversation_get_message_history() to retrieve a list of
		  PurpleConvMessage's in a conversation, and
		  purple_conversation_clear_message_history to clear the history.
		* purple_certificate_* functions in libpurple/certificate.h - "A public-key certificate API"
		* purple_ssl_get_peer_certificates() and associated field in PurpleSslOps to retrieve a server's presented SSL certificate chain.
		* PurpleSslConnection::verifier to provide a "how to verify the peer's certificates" callback to the SSL handlers. See certificate.h for more on this.
		* purple_ssl_connect_with_host_fd() to create an SSL connection from a file descriptor and provide a hostname with it to authenticate the peer against.

		Changed:
		* purple_prefs_load is now called within purple_prefs_init.
		  The UI no longer needs to call it.
		* writing-im-msg now receives the conversation name as the who
		  argument if the caller of purple_conversation_write didn't
		  provide a value for who.

	Pidgin:
		Added:
		* pidgin_set_accessible_relations, sets up label-for and labelled-by
		  ATK relations (broken out from pidgin_set_accessible_label)
		* pidgin_conv_attach_to_conversation, to reattach the Pidgin UI to a
		  conversation
		* conversation-hiding and conversation-displayed signals.
		* pidgin_text_combo_box_entry_new, pidgin_text_combo_box_entry_get_text
		  and pidgin_text_combo_box_entry_set_text

		Changed:
		* pidgin_conversations_fill_menu now also adds a separator and a 'Show
		  All' item if there are more than one conversations in the list.

	Finch:
		Added:
		* finch_sound_is_enabled
		* The reserved field in the FinchConv is now used to store information
		  about the conversation (using FinchConversationFlag)
		* finch_account_dialog_show

		libgnt:
		* gnt_slider_set_small_step, gnt_slider_set_large_step to allow more
		  fine tuned updates of a GntSlider
		* gnt_util_parse_xhtml_to_textview to parse XHTML strings in a
		  GntTextView (this works only if libxml2 is available)

version 2.1.1 (08/20/2007):
	libpurple:
		Changed:
		* PurpleAccountUiOps.request_authorize's authorize_cb and
		  deny_cb parameters now correctly have type
		  PurpleAccountRequestAuthorizationCb rather than GCallback.
		  (You'll want to change your UI's implementation's signature
		  to avoid warnings, and then remove some now-redundant casts
		  back to the proper type.)

version 2.1.0 (7/28/2007):
	libpurple:
		Added:
		* purple-remote: added getstatus command
		* conversation-extended-menu signal (See Doxygen docs)
		* OPT_PROTO_SLASH_COMMANDS_NATIVE protocol option to indicate that
		  slash commands are "native" to the protocol
		* PURPLE_MESSAGE_NO_LINKIFY message flag to indicate that the message
		  should not be auto-linkified
		* PurpleEventLoopUiOps.timeout_add_seconds
		    UIs can now use better scheduling for whole-second timers.  For
		    example, clients based on the glib event loop can now use
		    g_timeout_add_seconds.
		* purple_blist_node_get_type
		* purple_conversation_do_command
		* purple_conversation_get_extended_menu
		* purple_core_ensure_single_instance
		    This is for UIs to use to ensure only one copy is running.
		* purple_dbus_is_owner
		* purple_timeout_add_seconds
		    Callers should prefer this to purple_timeout_add for timers
		    longer than 1 second away.  Be aware of the rounding, though.
		* purple_xfer_get_remote_user
		* purple_pounces_get_all_for_ui
		* purple_prefs_get_children_names
		* added displaying-email-notification and 
 	          displaying-emails-notification signals

		Changed:
		* The documentation of the following functions now properly
		  declares that the returned value must not be modified or
		  freed, which was always the case:
			* purple_accounts_get_all
			* purple_connections_get_all
			* purple_connections_get_connecting
			* purple_conv_chat_get_ignored
			* purple_conv_chat_get_users
			* purple_get_chats
			* purple_get_conversations
			* purple_get_ims
			* purple_notify_user_info_get_entries
		* The following functions now return a GList* instead of a
		  const GList*, as const is not very useful with GLists.  The
		  returned value still must not be modified or freed:
			* purple_account_get_status_types
			* purple_mime_document_get_fields
			* purple_mime_document_get_parts
			* purple_mime_part_get_fields
			* purple_request_fields_get_required
			* purple_request_field_list_get_selected
			* purple_request_field_list_get_items
			* purple_status_type_get_attrs
			* purple_presence_get_statuses
		* purple_request_field_list_set_selected now takes a GList*
		  instead of a const GList* for items, as const is not very
		  useful with GLists.  The passed list is still not modified
		  or freed.
		* purple_presence_add_list now takes a GList* instead of a
		  const GList* for source_list, as const is not very useful with
		  GLists.  The passed list is still not modified or freed.

	Pidgin:
		Added:
		* gtk_imhtml_setup_entry
		* pidgin_create_window
		* pidgin_retrieve_user_info and pidgin_retrieve_user_info_in_chat,
		  shows immediate feedback when getting information about a user.
		* gtk_imhtml_animation_new
		    Can be used for inserting an animated image into an IMHTML.
		* pidgin_menu_position_func_helper
		* pidgin_blist_get_name_markup, returns the buddy list markup
		  text for a given buddy.
		* pidgin_blist_draw_tooltip and pidgin_blist_tooltip_destroy
		  for creating blist tooltips from outside of buddy list code
		* pidgin_themes_remove_smiley_theme

		Changed:
		* pidgin_append_menu_action returns the menuitem added to the menu.
		* pidgin_separator returns the separator added to the menu.
		* PidginConversation has struct members to handle the new info
		  pane:
		  	* infopane
			* infopane_hbox
			* infopane_model
			* infopane_iter

	Finch:
		Added:
		* finch_retrieve_user_info

		libgnt:
			Added:
			* GntWS for workspaces
			* gnt_tree_set_column_title
			* GntSlider widget
			* "completion" signal for GntEntry
			* "terminal-refresh" signal for GntWM, with a corresponding entry
			  in GntWMClass
			* New flags for GntTextView to decide whether to word-wrap or show
			  scrollbars (GntTextViewFlag) which can be set by
			  gnt_text_view_set_flag
			* gnt_style_get_from_name
			* gnt_window_present
			* gnt_tree_set_column_width_ratio
			* gnt_tree_set_column_resizable

			* gnt_style_parse_bool
			* gnt_util_set_trigger_widget

			Changed:
			* gnt_tree_get_rows() now returns a GList* instead of a const
			  GList*, as const is not very useful with GLists.  The
			  returned value still must not be modified or freed.
			* Instead of keeping an 'invisible' item, the GntTreeColumns now
			  maintain 'flags' with the appropriate flags set

version 2.0.2 (6/14/2007):
	Pidgin:
		Deprecated:
		* pidgin_dialogs_alias_contact:  This will be removed in 3.0.0
		  unless there is sufficient demand to keep it.

version 2.0.0 (5/3/2007):
	Please note all functions, defines, and data structures have been
	re-namespaced to match the new names of Pidgin, Finch, and libpurple.
	All gaim_gtk_* functions are now pidgin_*, former libgaim functions are
	now purple_*.  Please consult our doxygen documentation for a complete
	reference.

	The gaim-compat.h header exists to provide an API compatibility layer
	for libpurple functions.  As an API compatibility layer, it must be
	included at compile time to be of use.

	Changed:
	* All the status stuff.  Yay!
	* gaim_prefs_connect_callback(), added handle parameter
	* gtk_imhtml_toolbar now descends from GtkHBox making it easier to add your
	  own widgets to it
	* gaim_find_conversation_with_account, added a "type" parameter
	* gaim_gtk_prefs_labeled_spin_button, the "key" parameter is now a
	  const char* instead of just a char*
	* gaim_gtk_prefs_labeled_entry, the "key" parameter is now a const char*
	  instead of just a char*
	* the add_buddy perl sub.  The sub now takes the account as the first
	  argument, and buddy and group as the second and third.  It also adds
	  the buddy to the server-side buddy list of the given account.
	* gaim_connection_new, gaim_account_connect and gaim_account_register no
	  longer return a GaimConnection
	* keep_alive in GaimConnection is renamed to keepalive
	* gaim_mkstemp, added a second argument, a boolean, of whether or not the
	  file is binary
	* gaim_log_logger_new, rewritten
	* gaim_conv_window_remove_conversation()'s last argument to be a
	  GaimConversation.
	* A new blocked icon: pixmaps/status/default/blocked.png
	* In pixmaps/status/default: extendedaway.png renamed to extended_away.png
	* In pixmaps/status/default: na.png renamed to unavailable.png
	* gtk_imhtml_toggle_bold(): No longer returns a value
	* gtk_imhtml_toggle_italic(): No longer returns a value
	* gtk_imhtml_toggle_underline(): No longer returns a value
	* gtk_imhtml_toggle_strike(): No longer returns a value
	* gtk_imhtml_scroll_to_end(): Added the smooth paramter
	* gaim_log_new(), added conv parameter
	* gaim_buddy_icon_new(), leaves a reference which the caller owns.  Use
	  gaim_buddy_icon_unref() immediately if you don't want a reference (the
	  old behavior).
	* GAIM_CONV_UNKNOWN to GAIM_CONV_TYPE_UNKNOWN.
	* GAIM_CONV_IM to GAIM_CONV_TYPE_IM.
	* GAIM_CONV_CHAT to GAIM_CONV_TYPE_CHAT.
	* GAIM_CONV_MISC to GAIM_CONV_TYPE_MISC.
	* GAIM_CONV_ANY to GAIM_CONV_TYPE_ANY.
	* GaimConversationUiOps.write_conv, Replaced const char *who with
	  const char *name, const char *alias
	* gaim_conv_chat_add_users(), added extra_msgs and new_arrivals (pass NULL
	  and FALSE respectively, to get the same behavior as before)
	* chat_add_users in GaimConversationUiOps, added cbuddies and 
	  new_arrivals and removed buddies.
	* chat_rename_user in GaimConversationUiOps, added new_alias
	* gaim_conv_chat_cb_new(), added alias. (pass NULL to get the same
	  behavior as before).
	* GaimConversation.log became GList * GaimConversation.logs, so that a
	  conversation can have multiple logs at once
	* gaim_conv_chat_add_user, added extra_msgs
	* gaim_notify_userinfo, removed primary and secondary parameters
	* GaimNotifyUiOps.notify_userinfo: removed title, primary, and
	  secondary parameters
	* Idle timers are now added and removed in gtkidle.c in response
	  to the signed-on and signed-off signals
	* GaimXfer->ops.read, GaimXfer->ops.write, gaim_xfer_set_read_fnc(),
	  gaim_xfer_set_write_fnc(), gaim_xfer_read(), gaim_xfer_write():
	  Changed ssize_t to gssize
	* serv_got_im, serv_got_chat_in, serv_send_im and serv_chat_send all use
	  GaimMessageFlags instead of GaimConvImFlags / GaimConvChatFlags
	* All core<->prpl message passing now uses html.  This was previously true
	  for receiving messages, it's now also true for sending them.  prpls that
	  don't support html need to gaim_unescape_html() the message.
	* Notify API: GCallback -> GaimNotifyCloseCallback,
	              void *user_data -> gpointer user_data
	* gaim_notify_searchresults_get_rows_count,
	  gaim_notify_searchresults_get_columns_count: return type now guint
	* gaim_account_notify_added: No longer checks if there is a
	  GaimBuddy for the added user, that's left up to the prpls.  See the
	  documentation for this function and gaim_account_request_add.
	* gaim_accounts_reorder: new_index is now a gint instead of a size_t
	* displaying-message signals: displaying-[im|chat]-msg and
	  displayed-[im|chat]-msg signals are emitted for all messages
	  (ie, for received messages, sent messages, system messages, error
	  messages etc.), and the signals now have
	  gaim_gtk_conversations_get_handle() for their handle.
	* GAIM_NOTIFY_BUTTON_ADD_BUDDY to GAIM_NOTIFY_BUTTON_ADD
	* conversation-switched: This signal has been moved from conversation to
	                         the UI and the signal-handlers only receive the
	                         conversation that has been switched to.
	* GaimPluginProtocolInfo: Added offline_message
	* GaimPluginProtocolInfo: Added whiteboard_prpl_ops
	* GaimPluginProtocolInfo: Added media_prpl_ops
	* GaimPluginProtocolInfo: Added "user_info" argument to tooltip_text,
	                          changed the return type to void
	* GaimPluginProtocolInfo: Added "full" argument to tooltip_text
	* gaim_pounce_new(): Added option argument for pounce options
	* gaim_network_listen() and gaim_network_listen_range(): Added
	  socket_type parameter to allow creation of UDP listening. Modified
	  to be asynchronous with a callback to allow for UPnP operation.
	  Returns a data structure that can be used to cancel the listen
	  attempt using gaim_network_listen_cancel()
	* GaimPrefCallback: val is now a gconstpointer instead of a gpointer
	* gtk_imhtml_get_current_format(): the arguments are now set to TRUE or
	  FALSE.  Previously they were set to TRUE or left alone.  Also, you
	  may now pass NULL if you're not interested in a specific formatting.
	* Smiley Themes: Backslashes must be backslash-escaped.
	* Plugins: Depedencies are now honored when unloading plugins.
	* gaim_markup_extract_info_field(): Added format_cb parameter.
	* gaim_markup_extract_info_field(): Changed GString parameter to a GaimNotifyUserInfo paramter.
	* gaim_str_to_time(): Added support for parsing the MM/DD/YYYY format.
	* gaim_plugin_action_new(): label is now const char *
	* gaim_plugin_pref_new_with_name(): name is now const char *
	* gaim_plugin_pref_new_with_label(): label is now const char *
	* gaim_plugin_pref_new_with_name_and_label(): name and label are
	  now const char *
	* gaim_plugin_pref_set_name(): name is now const char *
	* gaim_plugin_pref_get_name(): return type is now const char *
	* gaim_plugin_pref_set_label(): label is now const char *
	* gaim_plugin_pref_get_label(): return type is now const char *
	* gaim_plugin_pref_add_choice(): label is now const char *
	* struct proto_chat_entry: label is now const char *
	* struct proto_chat_entry: identifier is now const char *
	* All network activity has been updated to use non-blocking sockets.
	  This means that plugins must be updated to expect such a socket from
	  gaim_proxy_connect() and gaim_network_listen*().
	* gaim_proxy_connect(): changed to return NULL on error and a pointer
	  to a GaimProxyConnectInfo object which can be used to cancel
	  connection attempts using gaim_proxy_connect_cancel().  Also added
	  a 'handle' parameter that can be used to cancel the connection
	  attempt using gaim_proxy_connect_cancel_with_handle().
	* gaim_gethostbyname_async(): Renamed to gaim_dnsquery_a() and
	  changed to return a pointer to a data structure that can be
	  used to cancel the pending DNS query using gaim_dnsquery_destroy()
	* gaim_url_fetch(): Renamed to gaim_util_fetch_url() and changed
	  to return a pointer to a data structure that can be used to cancel
	  the pending HTTP request using gaim_util_fetch_url_cancel().
	  Corresponding callback has changed to accept this data structure
	  as its first argument, and to accept an error message as an
	  additional final argument.
	* gaim_gtk_create_imhtml(): Added sw_ret() parameter
	* gaim_account_get_log(): Added create parameter
	* GAIM_CMD_P_VERYHIGH is now GAIM_CMD_P_VERY_HIGH
	* gtk_imhtml_search_find(): Now wraps around to the top instead of
	  clearing the search at the end.
	* gaim_gtkxfer_dialog_show: Can now take NULL to show (and possibly
	  create) a default gtkxfer dialog.
	* CHAT_USERS_BUDDY_COLUMN became CHAT_USERS_WEIGHT_COLUMN, along with
	  a change in the values stored in the column.
	* gaim_find_buddies() returns a list of all buddies in the account if name
	  is NULL.
	* gaim_gtk_set_custom_buddy_icon() sets custom icon for a user.
	* Hid the definition of _GaimStringref, which already had a warning to
	  avoid accessing it directly.
	* notify_userinfo() UI op is passed a GaimNotifyUserInfo instead of a char*
	  for the user information
	* gaim_buddy_icon_get_scale_size() and was changed to ALWAYS scale
	  the icon instead of only when icon_spec->scale_rules contains
	  GAIM_ICON_SCALE_DISPLAY.  Callers should be changed to check the
	  scale_rules before calling this function.
	* gaim_gtk_buddy_icon_get_scale_size() was changed to accept an
	  additional parameter which is used to determine what kind of
	  scaling should be done, if any.
	* purple_request_input(), purple_request_choice(),
	  purple_request_choice_varg(), purple_request_action(),
	  purple_request_action_varg(), purple_request_fields(),
	  purple_request_yes_no(), purple_request_ok_cancel(),
	  purple_request_accept_cancel(), purple_request_file(), and
