[gaim-migrate @ 13439] Patch #1226486 from Levi Bard Fixes bug #1224178 If you change the topic in a chat room and that topic change is rejected, the topic field is wrong -- it shows the new topic even thought it didn't get set. This patch resets the GUI's topic immediately when you hit enter. Then, if the topic change is successful, the server will echo the topic change back to us and we'll update the GUI to the new topic. The only question is, does the server always echo the topic back to us? From the core's point of view, I'm ready to assume yes. It's the case for both IRC and Jabber*. If someone could test changing a topic in SILC or Zephyr, that'd be great. If servers using those protocols do not echo the topic back, the prpl will have to fake it as appropriate. * I didn't actually test on Jabber, but Nathan said the server will echo the topic change back. If it's broken, let me know. committer: Tailor Script <[e-mail]>

SILC Gaim Plugin
================

This is Gaim protocol plugin of the protocol called Secure Internet Live 
Conferencing (SILC).  The implementation will use the SILC Toolkit, 
freely available from the http://silcnet.org/ site, for the actual SILC 
protocol implementation.

To include the SILC into Gaim, one needs to first compile and install 
the SILC Toolkit.  It is done as follows:

	./configure --enable-shared --without-silcd --without-irssi
	make
	make install

This will compile shared libraries of the SILC Toolkit.  If the --prefix 
is not given to ./configure, the binaries are installed into the 
/usr/local/silc directory.

Once the Toolkit is installed one needs to tell for the Gaim ./configure
script where the SILC Toolkit is located.  It is done as follows:

	./configure --with-silc-libs=/path/to/silc/lib
		    --with-silc-includes=/path/to/silc/include

If the Toolkit cannot be located the SILC will not be compiled into the 
Gaim.
