Plucked d2a1d52b3bbf29baa53b9ddaa635d50b6332064f from im.pidgin.adium by Zac West: Fixed sending DIM messages' encoding. Fixes #9087. The encoding bytes were being written in the wrong location, so the messages were being read back as ASCII and failing conversion, ending up being empty and not being displayed. Plucked f5376d42261b8efc3d889314df9896bb10d3fe16 from im.pidgin.adium: iChat sends direct IM messages with its encoding as 0x000d, which was being forced-interpreted as ASCII. Also, added better debug logging for charset information being received. applied changes from 212bd3655451599364562cabe553c5b7a19134ae through d2a1d52b3bbf29baa53b9ddaa635d50b6332064f applied changes from d2a1d52b3bbf29baa53b9ddaa635d50b6332064f through f5376d42261b8efc3d889314df9896bb10d3fe16

If you plan to use Pidgin, Finch and libpurple from our Monotone repository,
PLEASE read this message in its entirety!

Pidgin, Finch, and libpurple are a fast-moving project with a somewhat regular
release schedule.  Due to the rate of development, the code in our Monotone
repository undergoes frequent bursts of massive changes, often leaving behind
brokenness and partial functionality while the responsible developers rewrite
some portion of code or seek to add new features.

What this all boils down to is that the code in our Monotone repository _WILL_
sometimes be broken.  Because of this, we ask that users who are not interested
in personally tracking down bugs and fixing them (without a lot of
assistance from the developers!) use only released versions.  Since releases
will be made often, this should not prevent anyone from using the newest,
shiniest features -- but it will prevent users from having to deal with ugly
development bugs that we already know about but haven't gotten around to fixing.

If you are interested in hacking on Pidgin, Finch, and/or libpurple, please
check out the information available at: http://developer.pidgin.im

By far the best documentation, however, is the documented code.  If you have
doxygen, you can run "make docs" in the toplevel directory to generate pretty
documentation.  Otherwise (or even if you do!), the header files for each
subsystem contain documentation for the functions they contain.  For instance,
conversation.h contains documentation for the entire purple_conversation_*
API, and account.h contains documentation for the purple_account_* API.

If you have questions, please feel free to contact the Pidgin, Finch, and
libpurple developers by email at [e-mail] or on IRC at irc.freenode.net
in #pidgin.  Please do as much homework as you can before contacting us; the
more you know about your question, the faster and more effectively we can help!

Patches should be posted as Trac tickets at: http://developer.pidgin.im
