[gaim-migrate @ 10665] "This patch adds gaim_notify_userinfo() and a notify_userinfo() UI callback. gaim_notify_userinfo() is much like gaim_notify_formatted() except that it always takes a GaimConnection* as its handle and has an additional argument, const char* who. gaim_gtk_notify_userinfo() currently passes all the information except the GaimConnection* and the const char* who to gaim_gtk_notify_formatted(). This could be changed in the future to, for example, have a standardized window title which would note the account and/or user associated with the information. This is needed because some UIs (Adium, for example) don't want to present the information in a standalone window - they want to associate the information with a particular contact / buddy and display it with that object's other information. Previously, gaim_notify_formatted() was not useful for this purpose as it could not be determined what user's info it was; gaim_notify_userinfo() makes this possible. This patch modifies notify.c and notify.h for the new function, modifies gtknotify.c to register the ui op and pass calls to it on the gaim_gtk_notify_formatted, and modifies all prpls except SILC (which I don't understand well enough to modify, but there's no actual harm in leaving it as gaim_notify_formatted() for now) to use gaim_notify_userinfo() and pass their gc and username when calling the function." -- Evan Schoenberg committer: Tailor Script <tailor@pidgin.im>

icqlib v1.2.0

DESCRIPTION
-----------
icqlib is the most feature complete, open source, library implementation
of Mirabilis' ICQ protocol available on the Internet. icqlib currently
supports approximately 90% of the ICQ UDP v5 protocol and 80% of the
ICQ TCP v2 protocol, including new UIN registration, chat, and file
transfer.

Features:
* written in C for portability - compiles on most Unices
* supports multiple simultaneous connections to ICQ servers - more
  than one UIN can log in and receive events
* SOCKS5 firewall support for both UDP and TCP protocols
* event driven, non-blocking interface
* supports Russian language - automatically performs conversion from
  Windows 1251 encoding to unix koi8 encoding
