view PLUGIN_HOWTO @ 22126:22908b354baf

Two performance/network bandwidth related changes here, care of meebo. 1. Only auto-fetch stuff for people who are away, because we really only want their away message. This changes oscar to NOT auto-fetch people's profile info. That doesn't matter for Pidgin and I don't think it matters for Finch. If it causes bad things for Adium or other things then please let me know. 2. When auto-fetching stuff, only request the away message and not the profile info, because we really only want the away message. Again, if this causes bad things to happen then please let me know.

For information on writing a plugin for Purple, Pidgin or Finch, go
http://developer.pidgin.im and click on API.  From there, see the HOWTOs in the
"Related Pages" section.

You can also generate this documentation locally by installing
doxygen and graphviz dot, then running "make docs" in the
source tree.  The documentation will be in the docs/html directory.
