*** Plucked rev b932d4f94f9c771877b6a8a6a1d7dd3ea9c08005 (qulogic@pidgin.im): Treat FQY responses with no network ID as on the Passport network. Fixes #9240. *** Plucked rev 76f13d0fc7fbff369d01187fcc1b8f517854e119 (qulogic@pidgin.im): These strcmp checks are for equality, meaning a return of 0. *** Plucked rev a7bd74cbe46498f1390a4d33cce115bdd123a68d (qulogic@pidgin.im): Add a data parameter for FQY callbacks and remove the pending users list that was previously used instead. *** Plucked rev 84f6765b71f2ad2d6c7cddd461114ab5fc758b72 (qulogic@pidgin.im): We can't get an ADD error if we never send an ADD command. *** Plucked rev 6d3a0b29b22baeedf393b76044dde689caef3b45 (qulogic@pidgin.im): Add a msn_notification_post_rml analog. *** Plucked rev 0e2af7d2799397628273f534fac31e6dd7c6fe14 (qulogic@pidgin.im): Remove some left over code. *** Plucked rev 0841af13da028245cc279ce8f927ff05c0367ae1 (qulogic@pidgin.im): Check network type, and send an FQY if necessary, when modifying the allow and block lists. Before, users who were not added by you (i.e. spammers) would have no network type and cause disconnects. This should fix it. Fixes #8977. *** Plucked rev a1463341c3bf211c429282870babdb4785c7d817 (qulogic@pidgin.im): Remove notification-server group commands ADG, REG, RMG as groups are now handled in the AddressBook with SOAP calls.
