	XMPP:
	* Less likely to send messages to a contact's idle/inactive resource.
	  Previously, if a message was received from a specific resource,
	  responses would be sent to that resource until either it went offline
	  or a message is received from another resource.  Now, messages are sent
	  to the bare JID upon receipt of any presence change from the contact.
	* Added support for the SCRAM-SHA-1 SASL mechanism.  This is only
	  available when built without Cyrus SASL support.
	* When getting info on a domain-only (server) JID, show uptime
	  (when given by the result of the "last query") and don't show status as
	  offline.
	* Fix getting info on your own JID.
	* Wrap XHTML messages in <p>, as described in XEP-0071, for compatibility
	  with some clients.
	* Don't do an SRV lookup for a STUN server associated with the account
	  if one is already set globally in prefs.
	* Don't send custom smileys larger than the recommended maximum object size
	  specified in the BoB XEP.   This prevents a client from being
	  disconnected by servers that dislike overly-large stanzas.
	* Fix receiving messages without markup over an Openfire BOSH connection
	  (forcibly put the stanzas in the jabber:client namespace).
	* The default value for the file transfer proxies is automatically
	  updated when an account connects, if it is still the old (broken)
	  default (from 'proxy.jabber.org' to 'proxy.eu.jabber.org').
	* Fix an issue where libpurple created duplicate buddies if the roster
	  contains a buddy in two groups that differ only by case

	  mode forever.
	* Show tooltips for ellipsized conversation tabs.  On older systems,
	  tooltips will show for all tabs.
	* The File Transfers and Debug Window windows are no longer created as
	  dialogs.  These windows should now have minimize buttons in many
	  environments in which they were previously missing (including Windows).
	* Smiley themes with Windows line endings no longer cause theme
	  descriptions not to be displayed in the theme selector.

	Finch:
	* Rebindable 'move-first' and 'move-last' actions for tree widgets. So

version 2.6.4 (11/29/2009):
	libpurple:
	* Actually emit the hold signal for media calls.
	* Fix building the GnuTLS plugin with older versions of GnuTLS.
	* Fix DNS TXT query resolution.
	* Don't send Proxy-Authorization headers to HTTP proxy servers until we've
	  received a "407 Proxy Authentication Required" response from the server.
	  (thecrux)
	* Added "MXit" protocol plugin, supported and maintained by the MXit folks
	  themselves (MXit Lifestyle (Pty) Ltd.)

	General:
	* New 'plugins' sub-command to 'debug' command (i.e. '/debug plugins')
	  to announce the list of loaded plugins (in both Finch and Pidgin).
	* Always rejoin open chats after an account reconnects.

	* Cache our own friendly name as the server no longer does that for
	  us.  Users of older versions may need to re-set their friendly name
	  as it has probably been reset.

	XMPP:
	* Users connecting to Google Talk now have an "Initiate Chat" context menu
	  option for their buddies.  (Eion Robb)
	* Fix a crash when attempting to validate an invalid JID.
	* Resolve an issue when connecting to iChat Server when no resource
	  is specified.
	* Try to automatically find a STUN server by using an SRV lookup on the
	  account's domain, and use that for voice and video if found and the user
	  didn't set one manually in prefs.
	* Fix a crash when adding a buddy without an '@'.
	* Don't show the option to send a file to a buddy if we know for certain
	  they don't support any file transfer method supported by libpurple.
	* Keep the avatar on the server if one is not set locally.

	Pidgin:
	* The userlist in a multiuser chat can be styled via gtkrc by using the
	  widget name "pidgin_conv_userlist". (Heiko Schmitt)
	* Add a hold button to the media window.
	* Fix a bug where the conversation backlog stops scrolling in a very busy
	  chat room.
	* In the Conversation "Send To" menu, offline buddies appear grayed
	  out (but are still selectable).  Previously, only offline buddies on
	  accounts that do not support offline messaging appeared grayed out.

	Pidgin Preference and Preference Window Changes:
	* Removed the "Use font from theme" and "Conversation Font" preferences
	  for everyone except Windows users.  The font can be controlled from the
	  Pidgin GTK+ Theme Control plugin.
	* Tabs in the Preferences window are now on the left side.
	* The Browser tab is now visible for GNOME users.
	* Added a Proxy tab shown no matter what environment Pidgin runs in.
	* The Browser and Proxy tabs show appropriate GNOME-specific messages and
	  allow launching the correct applications to change the relevant GNOME
	  preferences if found.  These were previously together on the Network
	  tab.
	* Moved the port range spin buttons on the Network tab to be beside the
	  checkbox that enables/disables them.
	* Reorganized preferences on the Status/Idle tab to have one less
	  "section."
	* Reorganized preferences on the Sounds tab to have one less "section."
	* Renamed Smiley Themes tab to Themes.
	* Moved Buddy List Theme and Status Icon Theme selectors from Interface
	  tab to Themes tab.
	* Moved Sound Theme selector from Sounds tab to Themes tab.
	* Changed the Smiley Theme selector to be consistent with the other theme
	  selectors.
	* Rearranged tabs such that Interface is first and all remaining tabs are
	  alphabetized in English.

version 2.6.3 (10/16/2009):
	General:
	* Fix a crash when performing DNS queries on Unixes that use the
	  blocking DNS lookups.  (Brian Lu)

	* Fix connecting using BOSH and legacy authentication (XEP-0078).
	* Adding buddies of the form "[e-mail]/Resource" are handled
	  properly.  In addition, it is no longer possible to add buddies of
	  the form "[e-mail]/User", where
	  [e-mail] is a MUC.
	* Don't crash when receiving "smileyfied" XHTML-IM from clients that don't
	  support bits of binary (ie. when getting an empty <data/> in return)
	* Fix bug where SSL/TLS was not required even though the
	  "require SSL/TLS" preference checked when connecting to servers
	  that use the older iq-based authentication.  (CVE-2009-3026)

	Yahoo!/Yahoo! JAPAN:
	* Accounts now have "Use account proxy for SSL connections" option.  This
	  option force-overrides the account specific proxy settings for SSL
	  connections only and instead uses the global proxy configuration.

	Finch:
	* Properly detect libpanel on OpenBSD.  (Brad Smith)
	* Remove IO watches in gnt_quit.  (Tomasz Mon)

	  the dialog icons, and the Buddy List emblems.
	* Build properly on Hurd.  (Marc Dequènes)
	* Various memory leaks fixed as reported by Josh Mueller.
	* Properly handle an IRC buddy appearing in multiple groups.
	* Escape HTML entities in usernames when written with the HTML logger.
	* Do not display MySpace status changes as incoming IMs.  (Mark Doliner and
	  Justin Williams)

	DNS:
	* DNS servers are re-read when DNS queries fail in case the system has
	  moved to a new network and the old servers are not accessible.
	* DNS SRV records with equal priority are sorted with respect to their
	  weight as specified in RFC 2782.  (Vijay Raghunathan)
	* Don't do IPv6 address lookups if the computer does not have an IPv6
	  address configured.
	* Fix a leak when the UI provides its own DNS resolving UI op.
	  (Aman Gupta)
	* Don't fork a DNS resolver process to resolve IP addresses.  (Aman Gupta)
	* Internationalized Domain Names are supported when libpurple is compiled
	  against the GNU IDN library.

	Environment Variables:
	* GnuTLS logging (disabled by default) can be controlled through the
	  PURPLE_GNUTLS_DEBUG environment variable, which is an integer between
	  0 and 9 (higher is more verbose). Higher values may reveal sensitive
	  information.
	* PURPLE_VERBOSE_DEBUG environment variable.  Currently, this is an "on" or
	  "off" variable.  Set it to any value to turn it on and unset it to turn
	  it off.  This will optionally be used to only show less useful debug
	  information on an as-needed basis.
	* PURPLE_LEAKCHECK_HELP environment variable.  Currently, this is an "on"
	  or "off" variable.  Set it to any value to turn it on and unset it to
	  turn it off.  This will be used to perform various actions that are
	  useful when running libpurple inside of Valgrind or similar programs.
	  Currently, it keeps plugins in memory, allowing Valgrind to perform
	  symbol resolution of leak traces at shutdown.

	AIM and ICQ:
	* Preliminary support for a new authentication scheme called
	  "clientLogin."
	* Fixed a bug where your away message sometimes would not get set when
	  you first sign on.
	* Make sure links in your away messages show up as links to other people.
	* For ICQ, Never change the privacy setting specified by the user.

	Gadu-Gadu:
	* Accounts can specify a server to which to connect.
	  (Krzysztof "kreez" Tobola)

	  Stafford, Gal Topper, and Elliott Sales de Andrade)
	* Add support for receiving audio clips on MSN.  (Chris Stafford, Gal
	  Topper, and Elliott Sales de Andrade)
	* Show the invite message for buddies that requested authorization
	  from you on MSN.
	* Support sending an invite message to buddies when requesting authorization
	  from them on MSN.
	* Timeout switchboard connections aggressively (60 seconds).

	XMPP:
	* Voice & Video support with Jingle (XEP-0166, 0167, 0176, & 0177), voice
	  support with GTalk and voice and video support with the GMail web
	  client. (Mike "Maiku" Ruprecht)
	* Added a Service Discovery Browser plugin for Pidgin. (Andrei Mozzhuhin)
	* Support for in-band bytestreams for file transfers (XEP-0047). (Marcus
	  Lundblad)

	  and "nudge") using the command /buzz. (XEP-0224)
	* Support for connecting using BOSH. (Tobias Markmann)

	* Support most recent version of User Avatar. (XEP-0084 v1.1)
	* Updated Entity Capabilities support. (Tobias Markmann)
	* Better support for receiving remote users' nicknames.
	* /affiliate and /role will now list the room members with the specified
	  affiliation/role if possible. (Andrei Mozzhuhin)
	* Put section breaks between resources in "Get Info" to improve readability.
	* Silently remove invalid XML 1.0 entities (e.g. ASCII control characters)
	  from sent messages.
	* XHTML markup is only included in outgoing messages when the message
	  contains formatting.
	* Show when the user was last logged in when doing "Get Info" on an offline
	  buddy, provided the server supports it.
	* Support custom smileys in MUCs (only when all participants support the
	  "Bits of Binary" extension, and a maximum of 10 participants are in the
	  chat to avoid getting too many fetch requests).
	* Fix an issue with Jabber (pre-XMPP) servers and the user's preference
	  to require SSL not being respected.
	* Fix an issue where Cyrus SASL DIGEST MD5 authentication might fail if
	  the username, password, or realm (the JID domain) contain non-ASCII
	  characters.
	* Show emblem for mobile, handheld, and web clients and bots (if the other
	  client supports it).
	* Google Talk mail notifications should now work for people for whom they
	  inexplicably did not.  (Thanks to yukam for determining the reason)
	* New XMPP and Google Talk accounts require SSL by default.
	* Display kicks (and the reasons given) in chat rooms when an occupant is
	  kicked.
