Bonjour: * Added support for IPv6. (Thanks to T_X for testing) Gadu-Gadu: * Updated our bundled libgadu to 1.9.0-rc2 (many thanks to Krzysztof Klinikowski for the work and testing put in here!) * Minimum requirement for external libgadu is now also 1.9.0-rc2. AIM and ICQ: * X-Status (Custom ICQ status icon) support. Since most of the icons available reflect moods, this is labeled "Set Mood" on the Accounts->ICQ Account menu. (Andrew Ivanov, Tomáš Kebert, Yuriy Yevgrafov, and trac users bob007, salieff, and nops) * Allow setting and displaying icons between 1x1 and 100x100 pixels for ICQ. Previously only icons between 48x48 and 52x64 were allowed. * When using the clientLogin authentication method, prompt for a password on reconnect when "Remember Password" is not checked and authentication fails due to an incorrect password.

This fixes an issue with Openfire disconnecting a libpurple-baesd client that has just been quiet for about 6 minutes. * Only support Google Talk's JID Domain Discovery extension (allowing a user to log in with "@gmail.com" or "@googlemail.com" interchangeably) for those two domains. This change was made due to interoperability issues with some BOSH Connection Managers and namespaced attributes. Yahoo/Yahoo JAPAN: * Attempt to better handle transparent proxies interfering with HTTP-based login. * Fix handling of P2P packets, thus fixing the loss of some messages. * Retrieve the pager server address from Yahoo!'s servers directly. * Removed the "Pager server" account option, as it is no longer needed. * The authentication code is now less order-sensitive with the components of the server's response. * The authentication process now acts more like the official client. Finch: * New action 'history-search', with default binding ctrl+r, to search the entered string in the input history. Windows-Specific Changes * Updated GTK+ to 2.16.6 * Private GTK+ Runtime now used (GTK+ Installer no longer supported) * Minimum required GTK+ version increased to 2.14.7 * Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition, Windows ME (Millennium Edition), and Windows NT 4.0 longer supported due to GTK+ requirements changes. * Crash Report files (pidgin.RPT) are now generated in the ~/.purple directory instead of the installation directory. * NSS SSL Library upgraded to 3.12.5 (thanks to Berke Viktor) * GtkSpell upgraded to 2.0.16, changing the spellchecking backend to enchant.

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 (e.g. "XMPP" and "xmpp") (or not at all). Yahoo: * Don't send <span> and </span> tags. (Fartash Faghri) * Support PingBox. PingBoxes will appear as pbx/PingBoxName.

(Luoh Ren-Shan) * Allow dropping an image on Custom Smiley window to add a new one. * Prompt for confirmation when clearing a whiteboard (doodle) session. (Kartik Mohta) * Use the "hand" cursor when hovering over usernames in chat history to indicate that the username is an actionable item. * Double-clicking usernames in chat history will open an IM with that user. * Put an icon on the "Filter" button in the debug window. * Don't treat "/messages/like/this " as commands. * Explicitly mark user interaction when inserting smilies from the toolbar so "Undo" correctly removes these smilies. * Clicking "New" or "Saved" in the status selector menu while typing a status message no longer keeps the status entry area stuck in "typing" 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: * Fix CVE-2010-0420, a possible remote crash when handling chat room buddy names. * Rebindable 'move-first' and 'move-last' actions for tree widgets.

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.

This may not resolve all issues, but it should resolve at least some of the most common ones. * The pager server will automatically update to scsa.msg.yahoo.com if the user empties the field or if it is scs.msg.yahoo.com. This should ease the pain of transition to the new login method.

Thanks to Jason Lingohr for lots of debugging and testing. * Messages from Yahoo! buddies are no longer silently dropped. * We now save and use the CacheKey for ABCH SOAP requests. * Don't try to parse Personal Status Messages or Current Media if they don't exist. * Convert from ISO-8859-1 encoding to UTF-8 when no charset is specified on incoming messages. This should fix some issues with messages from older clients. * Force sending the font "Segoe UI" if outgoing formatting doesn't specify a font already. * Queue callbacks when token updates are in progress to prevent two token update attempts from trampling each other. * Fixed a crash on Windows when removing a buddy's alias. * Update the Address Book when buddies' friendly names change. This prevents seeing an outdated alias or not seeing an alias at all for buddies who are offline when you sign in. * Update tokens for FindMembership and ABFindAll SOAP requests. * We no longer try to send empty messages. This could happen when a message contained only formatting and that formatting was not supported on MSN. * Buddies on both the Allow and Block list are now automatically removed from the Allow list. Users with this problem will now no longer receive an ADL 241 error. The problematic buddy should now appear on the buddy list and can be removed or unblocked as desired.

The recommended version to use is still QQ2005. * Fix a crash with DNS SRV lookups. (Florian Quèze) * Fix a crash caused by authorization requests. (Florian Quèze) Gadu-Gadu: * Add support for IM images. (Tomasz Sałaciński, Adam Strzelecki) * Gadu-Gadu now checks that UID's are valid. (Adam Strzelecki) * Gadu-Gadu now does proper charset translations where needed. (Adam Strzelecki) MSN: * Fix an error with offline messages by shipping the *new* "Microsoft Secure Server Authority" and the "Microsoft Internet Authority" certificates. These are now always installed even when using --with-system-ssl-certs because most systems don't ship those intermediate certificates. * The Games and Office media can now be set and displayed (in addition to the previous Music media). The Media status text now shows the album, if possible. * Messages sent from a mobile device while you were offline are now correctly received. * Server transfers after you've been connected for a long time should now be handled correctly. * Many improvements to handling of "federated" buddies, such as those on the Yahoo network. * Several known crashes have been resolved. * Many other fixes and code cleanup.

(Florian Quèze) XMPP: * Fix the namespace URL we look for in PEP reply stanzas to match the URL used in the 'get' requests (Paul Aurich) * Resources can be set to the local machine's hostname by using __HOSTNAME__ as the resource string. (Jonathan Sailor) * Resources can now be left blank, causing the server to generate a resource for us where supported. (Jonathan Sailor) * Resources now default to no value, but "Home" is used if the server refuses to provide a resource. * Quit trying to get user info for MUC's. (Paul Aurich) * Send "client-accepts-full-bind-result" attribute during SASL login.

(Michael Terry) Pidgin: * On GTK+ 2.14 and higher, we're using the gtk-tooltip-delay setting instead of our own (hidden) tooltip_delay pref. If you had previously changed that pref, add a line like this to ~/.purple/gtkrc-2.0 (where 500 is the timeout (in ms) you want): gtk-tooltip-timeout = 500 To completely disable tooltips (e.g. if you had an old tooltip_delay of zero), add this to ~/.purple/gtkrc-2.0: gtk-enable-tooltips = 0 * Moved the release notification dialog to a mini-dialog in the buddylist.

This prevents the account from being disconnected from the server periodically. version 2.5.1 (08/30/2008): libpurple: * In the Join/Part plugin, add the ability to apply the rules to buddies. By default, joins and parts for buddies are still shown. * Support SOCKS proxies specified in GNOME or Windows proxy settings. * Fix some possible crashes in MSNP15. * Enable a default SSL trust relationship for MSN servers. * Avoid disconnecting from XMPP servers on parse errors that are non-fatal. * Include some perl files that were mistakenly omitted in 2.5.0.

(Thanks to Mauro Sérgio Ferreira Brasil, Marcus Lundblad, Jorge Villaseñor and other contributors) * Add a configure option, --with-system-ssl-certs to allow packagers to specify a system-wide SSL CA certificates directory. When set, we don't install our SSL CA certs, so it's important that the libpurple package depend on the CA certificates. * Add SSL Certificates support to the NSS SSL plugin. (Thanks to Lou Cipher) XMPP: * Fix a bug that caused the UI to not refresh and caused the client to use 99% CPU when an XMPP account lost its connection to the server. * Possibly fix a bug where some clients could get into a state where they moved a buddy back and forth between two groups in an endless loop.

Hopefully it's stable now. It will now compile by default if you have D-Bus support and NetworkManager.h. (Elliott Sales de Andrade) * MSN buddy list synchronization is now more forgiving, only asking about buddies who have disappeared completely from the server list and not those that have simply moved groups. * IRC will now try to append 1-9 to your nick if it is in use, instead of substituting the last character with 1-9 where possible. * Bonjour buddies will be saved persistently if they're moved out of the "Bonjour" group. (Eion Robb) Pidgin: * The typing notification in the conversation history can be disabled or customized (font, color etc.) in .gtkrc-2.0. * Added a plugin (not installed by default) which adds a Send button back to the conversation window. People without physical keyboards have a hard time with the lack of the button. * Clicking on the buddyicon in the conversation window toggles the size of the icon between small and large. * The settings of a chat (e.g. Handle in an XMPP chat, or Exchange in an AIM chat) can be edited from its context menu in the buddy list. * Add a "Present conversation window" preference to the Message Notification plugin; the "Raise conversation window" option does not unminimize windows or draw attention to them when they are on other workspaces--the "Present" option should. * Add a preference to set Escape as the keyboard shortcut for closing the conversation window. * Add an option in the context menu to disable smileys in the selected text in the conversation history/log viewer.

Use the --enable-gevolution argument to configure to enable it. * The Contact Availability Prediction plugin must now be explicitly enabled. Use the --enable-cap argument to configure to enable it. Finch: * New default binding ctrl+x to open context menus. * Menu triggers and other bindings will no longer conflict. * Middle click pastes the internal clipboard (when mouse support is enabled). version 2.4.1 (03/31/2008): http://developer.pidgin.im/query?status=closed&milestone=2.4.1 libpurple: * Treat AIM Unicode messages as UTF-16 rather than UCS-2; this should have no functional effect, other than continued support on systems which have dropped UCS-2 conversions. * Add support for setting buddy icons on Gadu-Gadu (Tomasz Salacinski) * Fix a crash when clearing the buddy icon for an account on XMPP * Fix a crash during login for some ICQ accounts * Prefer more available resources on XMPP when priorities are equal * Fix incorrectly marking some Yahoo! contacts as blocked * Improved handling of UTF-8 group names on ICQ (beret) * Fix a crash when starting if you have a Zephyr account * Increase XMPP ping timeout to 120 seconds, to prevent poor network connections from timing out unnecessarily. * Don't crash on XMPP forms with empty default values. * Fix issues with CHAP authentication for SOCKS5 proxies.

Messenger 7.0+ file transfer method (Thanumalayan S.) * Support for retrieving full names and addresses from the address book on Yahoo! Japan (Yusuke Odate) * The AIM/ICQ server-side preference for "allow others to see me as idle" is no longer unconditionally set to "yes" even when your libpurple preference is "no." * Fix SSL certificate checks for renewed certificates * Fix the ability to set vCard buddy icons on Google Talk/XMPP * D-Bus fixes on 64bit * Fixed retrieval of buddy icons and setting of server-side aliases on Yahoo! and Yahoo! Japan when using an HTTP proxy server (Gideon N.

Look at the sample gntrc file in the man page for details. * The default keybinding for dump-screen is now M-D and uses a file request dialog. M-d will properly delete-forward-word, and M-f has been fixed to imitate readline's behavior. * New bindings alt+tab and alt+shift+tab to help navigating between the higlighted windows (details on the man page). * Recently signed on (or off) buddies blink in the buddy list. * New action 'Room List' in the action list can be used to get the list of available chat rooms for an online account. * The 'Grouping' plugin can be used for alternate grouping in the buddylist.

This should enable file transfers between libpurple clients and Gajim clients, but will not work with iChat or Adium as they use a different file transfer implementation. * XMPP password changes that return errors no longer cause the saved password to be changed. * XMPP file transfer support has been enhanced to support sending files through a proxy when the server supports discovering a a bytestream proxy. This should make file transfers much more reliable. The next release will add support for manually specifying a proxy when the server doesn't advertise one. Pidgin: * If a plugin says it can't be unloaded, we now display an error and remove the plugin from the list of saved plugins so it won't load at the next startup. Previously, we were ignoring this case, which could lead to crashes. * Mark dialog windows as transient for appropriate parent windows to help window managers do the right thing (Gabriel Schulhof) * Connection errors are now reported in mini-dialogs inside the buddy list, rather than as buttons in the buddy list and with dialog boxes. If several accounts are disabled when you sign on elsewhere, you can now re-enable them all with a single click. * Added tooltips to the Room List window to show full topics * Added buttons in preferences to access GNOME network and browser preferences configuration dialogs when running under GNOME * If you alias a buddy to an alias that is already present within a particular group, we now offer to merge the buddies into the same contact. * A music emblem is now displayed in the buddy list for a buddy if we know she is listening to some soothing music. * Added a 'Move to' menu in buddy list context menu for moving buddies to other groups as an alternative to dragging. * Group headings are now marked via an underline instead of a different color background. * It is now possible to mark a chat on your buddy list as "Persistent" so you do not leave the chat when the window or tab is closed. * The auto-join option for chats is now listed in the "Add Chat" dialog along with the new persistence option. * Closing an IM no longer immediately closes your conversation. It will now remain active for a short time so that if the conversation resumes, the history will be retained. A preference has been added to toggle this behavior. * The "Smiley" menu has been moved to the top-level of the toolbar. * Pidgin's display is now saved with the command line for session restoration. (David Mohr) * ICQ Birthday notifications are shown as buddy list emblems. * Plugin actions are now available from the docklet context menu in addition to the Tool menu of the buddy list. * The manual page has been heavily rewritten to bring it in line with current functionality. Finch: * If a plugin says it can't be unloaded, we now display an error and remove the plugin from the list of saved plugins so it won't load at the next startup. Previously, we were ignoring this case, which could lead to crashes. * It's possible to bind key-strokes to specific menuitems in the windows. Read the 'Menus' section in the man-page for details. * 'transpose-chars' operation for the entry boxes. The default key-binding is ctrl+t. * 'yank' operation for the entry boxes.

(It will be disabled.) * Fixed an erroneous size display for MSN file transfers. (galt) * Fixed multiple memory leaks, particularly in XMPP and MySpace protocols * Fixed remembering proxy preferences and status scores * Gmail notifications are better tracked Pidgin: * Fixed keyboard tab reordering to move tabs one step instead of two. * You should no longer lose proxy settings when Pidgin is restarted. * Fixed detection of X11 when compiling Finch: * Pressing 'Insert' in the buddylist will bring up the 'Add Buddy' dialog. version 2.2.0 (09/13/2007): http://developer.pidgin.im/query?status=closed&milestone=2.2.0 libpurple: * New protocol plugin: MySpaceIM (Jeff Connelly, Google Summer of Code) * XMPP enhancements.

(Justin Heiner) * Ability to build with native, non-X11 GTK+ on OSX. (Anders Hasselqvist) * Remember the 'Enable Sounds' setting for a conversation. * Right-clicking the empty space in the formatting toolbar allows you to toggle back to the old "ungrouped" version. * Protocols supporting account registration via Pidgin now show a descriptive checkbox instead of a vague "Register" button. * Fixed a bug where a tab would be shown on single conversations when tabs were disabled.
