(Gábor Szuromi) 1518 1519 XMPP: 1520 * Allow connecting to servers that advertise EXTERNAL (broken in 1521 2.7.0) 1522 1523 MXit: 1524 * Replace the MXit-specific mood management with the new standard Moods 1525 API. 1526 * Add the standard MXit emoticons. 1527 * Improve the handling of users being kicked from MultiMX rooms. 1528 * MXit doesn't allow you to see your buddy's Email Address or Title, 1529 so remove those two fields from the "Buddy Information" page. 1530 * Show buddy's Registration Country in their profile. 1531 * Increment protocol version to v6.0 1532 * If an invite you sent was rejected with a reason, display that 1533 message in the buddy tooltip. 1534 * CAPTCHA value is a required field during account activation. 1535 (Resolves issue on Maemo) 1536 * When your avatar image is changed, don't forget the user's profile 1537 information. 1538 1539 Windows-Specific Changes: 1540 * Fix a regression introduced in 2.7.0 that caused Window Flashing not 1541 to work. 1542 1543version 2.7.0 (05/12/2010): 1544 General: 1545 * Changed GTK+ minimum version requirement to 2.10.0. 1546 * Changed GLib minimum version requirement to 2.12.0. 1547 * Using the --disable-nls argument to configure now works properly. 1548 You will no longer be forced to have intltool to configure and build. 1549 * Fix two related crashes in the GnuTLS and NSS plugins when they 1550 suffer internal errors immediately upon attempting to establish 1551 an SSL connection. 1552 * Fix NSS to work when reinitialized after being used. (Thanks to 1553 Ludovico Cavedon for the testcase) 1554 * Added support for PURPLE_GNUTLS_PRIORITIES environment variable. 1555 This can be used to specify GnuTLS priorities on a per-host basis. 1556 The format is "host=priority;host2=priority;...". The default 1557 priority can be overridden by using "*" as the host. See the 1558 GnuTLS manual for documentation on the format of the priority 1559 strings. 1560 * Fix autoconf detection of Python. (Brad Smith) 1561 * Fix a crash when a Windows proxy (from IE) does not have a port. 1562 (Marten Klencke) 1563 1564 Pidgin: 1565 * Moved the "Debugging Information" section of the About box to a 1566 "Build Information" dialog accessible on the Help menu. 1567 * Moved the Developer and Crazy Patch Writer information from the About 1568 box to a "Developer Information" dialog accessible on the Help menu. 1569 * Moved the Translator information from the About box to a "Translator 1570 Information" dialog accessible on the Help menu. 1571 * Use GtkStatusIcon for the docklet, providing better integration in 1572 notification area. 1573 * Added UI for sending attentions (buzz, nudge) on supporting protocols. 1574 * Make the search dialog unobtrusive in the conversation window (by 1575 making it look and behave like the search dialog in Firefox) 1576 * The Recent Log Activity sort method for the Buddy List now 1577 distinguishes between no activity and a small amount of activity 1578 in the distant past. (Greg McNew) 1579 * Added a menu set mood globally for all mood-supporting accounts 1580 (currently XMPP and ICQ). 1581 * Default binding of Ctrl+Shift+v to 'Paste as Plain Text' in 1582 conversation windows. This can be changed in .gtkrc-2.0. For example, 1583 Ctrl+v can be bound to 'Paste as Plain Text' by default. 1584 * Plugins can now handle markup in buddy names by attaching to the 1585 "drawing-buddy" signal. (Daniele Ricci, Andrea Piccinelli) 1586 * Be more accommodating when scaling down large images for use as 1587 buddy icons. 1588 * The 'Message Timestamp Formats' plugin allows changing the timestamp 1589 format from the timestamps' context menu in conversation log. 1590 * The 'Message Timestamp Formats' plugin allows forcing 12-hour 1591 timestamps. (Jonathan Maltz) 1592 * Fix pastes from Chrome (rich-text pastes and probably URLs 1593 having garbage appended to them). 1594 * Show file transfer thumbnails for images on supporting protocols 1595 (currently only supported on MSN). 1596 1597 Bonjour: 1598 * Added support for IPv6. (Thanks to T_X for testing) 1599 1600 Gadu-Gadu: 1601 * Updated our bundled libgadu to 1.9.0-rc2 (many thanks to Krzysztof 1602 Klinikowski for the work and testing put in here!) 1603 * Minimum requirement for external libgadu is now also 1.9.0-rc2. 1604 1605 AIM and ICQ: 1606 * X-Status (Custom ICQ status icon) support. Since most of the icons 1607 available reflect moods, this is labeled "Set Mood" on the 1608 Accounts->ICQ Account menu. (Andrew Ivanov, Tomáš Kebert, 1609 Yuriy Yevgrafov, and trac users bob007, salieff, and nops) 1610 * Allow setting and displaying icons between 1x1 and 100x100 pixels for 1611 ICQ. Previously only icons between 48x48 and 52x64 were allowed. 1612 * When using the clientLogin authentication method, prompt for a 1613 password on reconnect when "Remember Password" is not checked and 1614 authentication fails due to an incorrect password. (This is the same 1615 behavior as the legacy authentication method) 1616 * Support sending and receiving HTML-formatted messages for ICQ. 1617 * Use the proper URL for "View web profile" link for ICQ buddies. 1618 (Alexander Nartov) 1619 1620 MSN: 1621 * Support for version 9 of the MSN protocol has been removed. This 1622 version is no longer supported on the servers. 1623 * Support file transfer thumbnails (previews) for images. 1624 * Fix CVE-2010-1624 (custom emoticon remote crash). 1625 1626 XMPP: 1627 * Direct messages to a specific resource only upon receipt of a message 1628 with content (as opposed to a typing notification, etc). (Thanks to 1629 rjoly for testing) 1630 * Present a better error message when authentication fails while trying 1631 to connect to Facebook. (David Reiss, Facebook) 1632 * When sending data using in-band-bytestreams, interpret the block-size 1633 attribute as the size of the BASE64-encoded representation of the 1634 data. 1635 * Validate the hash on incoming BoB data objects (for custom smileys 1636 etc.), cache based per JID when the CID is not a valid hash (as 1637 specified by the BoB XEP). 1638 * Send whitespace keepalives if we haven't sent data in a while (2 1639 minutes). This fixes an issue with Openfire disconnecting a 1640 libpurple-baesd client that has just been quiet for about 6 1641 minutes. 1642 * Only support Google Talk's JID Domain Discovery extension 1643 (allowing a user to log in with "@gmail.com" or "@googlemail.com" 1644 interchangeably) for those two domains. This change was made 1645 due to interoperability issues with some BOSH Connection Managers 1646 and namespaced attributes. 1647 1648 Yahoo/Yahoo JAPAN: 1649 * Attempt to better handle transparent proxies interfering with 1650 HTTP-based login. 1651 * Fix handling of P2P packets, thus fixing the loss of some messages. 1652 * Retrieve the pager server address from Yahoo!'s servers directly. 1653 * Removed the "Pager server" account option, as it is no longer needed. 1654 * The authentication code is now less order-sensitive with the 1655 components of the server's response. 1656 * The authentication process now acts more like the official client. 1657 1658 Finch: 1659 * New action 'history-search', with default binding ctrl+r, to search 1660 the entered string in the input history. 1661 1662 Windows-Specific Changes 1663 * Updated GTK+ to 2.16.6 1664 * Private GTK+ Runtime now used (GTK+ Installer no longer supported) 1665 * Minimum required GTK+ version increased to 2.14.7 1666 * Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition, Windows ME 1667 (Millennium Edition), and Windows NT 4.0 longer supported due to GTK+ 1668 requirements changes. 1669 * Crash Report files (pidgin.RPT) are now generated in the ~/.purple 1670 directory instead of the installation directory. 1671 * NSS SSL Library upgraded to 3.12.5 (thanks to Berke Viktor) 1672 * GtkSpell upgraded to 2.0.16, changing the spellchecking backend to 1673 enchant. This means that myspell and hunspell (OpenOffice) 1674 dictionaries can be used (previous versions' aspell dictionaries 1675 will not work). 1676 1677version 2.6.6 (02/18/2010): 1678 libpurple: 1679 * Fix 'make check' on OS X. (David Fang) 1680 * Fix a quirk in purple_markup_html_to_xhtml that caused some messages 1681 to be improperly converted to XHTML. 1682 * Set "controlling-mode" correctly when initializing a media session. 1683 Fixes receiving voice calls from Psi. 1684 * When looking up DNS records, use the type of record returned by the 1685 server (instead of the type we asked for) to determine how to process 1686 the record. 1687 * Fix an issue with parsing XML attributes that contain "<br>". 1688 See ChangeLog.API for more details. 1689 1690 General: 1691 * Correctly disable all missing dependencies when using the 1692 --disable-missing-dependencies option. (Gabriel Schulhof) 1693 1694 Gadu-Gadu: 1695 * Fix display of avatars after a server-side change. (Krzysztof 1696 Klinikowski) 1697 1698 AIM: 1699 * Allow setting and displaying icons between 1x1 and 100x100 pixels. 1700 Previously only icons between 48x48 and 50x50 were allowed. 1701 1702 MSN: 1703 * Fix CVE-2010-0277, a possible remote crash when parsing an incoming 1704 SLP message. (Discovered by Fabian Yamaguchi) 1705 * File transfer requests will no longer cause a crash if you delete the 1706 file before the other side accepts. 1707 * Received files will no longer hold an extra lock after completion, 1708 meaning they can be moved or deleted without complaints from your OS. 1709 * Buddies who sign in from a second location will no longer cause an 1710 unnecessary chat window to open. 1711 * Support setting an animated GIF as a buddy icon. 1712 * Numerous code cleanups and memory savings. 1713 1714 MySpace: 1715 * Fix a leak and crash when retrieving buddy icons. 1716 1717 XMPP: 1718 * Less likely to send messages to a contact's idle/inactive resource. 1719 Previously, if a message was received from a specific resource, 1720 responses would be sent to that resource until either it went offline 1721 or a message is received from another resource. Now, messages are 1722 sent to the bare JID upon receipt of any presence change from the 1723 contact. 1724 * Added support for the SCRAM-SHA-1 SASL mechanism. This is only 1725 available when built without Cyrus SASL support. 1726 * When getting info on a domain-only (server) JID, show uptime 1727 (when given by the result of the "last query") and don't show status 1728 as offline. 1729 * Fix getting info on your own JID. 1730 * Wrap XHTML messages in <p>, as described in XEP-0071, for 1731 compatibility with some clients. 1732 * Don't do an SRV lookup for a STUN server associated with the account 1733 if one is already set globally in prefs. 1734 * Don't send custom smileys larger than the recommended maximum object 1735 size specified in the BoB XEP. This prevents a client from being 1736 disconnected by servers that dislike overly-large stanzas. 1737 * Fix receiving messages without markup over an Openfire BOSH 1738 connection (forcibly put the stanzas in the jabber:client namespace). 1739 * The default value for the file transfer proxies is automatically 1740 updated when an account connects, if it is still the old (broken) 1741 default (from 'proxy.jabber.org' to 'proxy.eu.jabber.org'). 1742 * Fix an issue where libpurple created duplicate buddies if the roster 1743 contains a buddy in two groups that differ only by case 1744 (e.g. "XMPP" and "xmpp") (or not at all). 1745 1746 Yahoo: 1747 * Don't send <span> and </span> tags. (Fartash Faghri) 1748 * Support PingBox. PingBoxes will appear as pbx/PingBoxName. (Kartik 1749 Mohta) 1750 1751 Pidgin: 1752 * Fix CVE-2010-0423, a denial of service attack due to the parsing 1753 of large numbers of smileys. (Discovered by Antti Hayrynen) 1754 * Correctly size conversation and status box entries when the 1755 interior-focus style property is diabled. (Gabriel Schulhof) 1756 * Correctly handle a multiline text field being required in a 1757 request form. (Thanks to Florian Zeitz for finding this problem) 1758 * Search friends by email-addresses in the buddy list. (Luoh Ren-Shan) 1759 * Allow dropping an image on Custom Smiley window to add a new one. 1760 * Prompt for confirmation when clearing a whiteboard (doodle) session. 1761 (Kartik Mohta) 1762 * Use the "hand" cursor when hovering over usernames in chat history to 1763 indicate that the username is an actionable item. 1764 * Double-clicking usernames in chat history will open an IM with that 1765 user. 1766 * Put an icon on the "Filter" button in the debug window. 1767 * Don't treat "/messages/like/this " as commands. 1768 * Explicitly mark user interaction when inserting smilies from the 1769 toolbar so "Undo" correctly removes these smilies. 1770 * Clicking "New" or "Saved" in the status selector menu while typing a 1771 status message no longer keeps the status entry area stuck in "typing" 1772 mode forever. 1773 * Show tooltips for ellipsized conversation tabs. On older systems, 1774 tooltips will show for all tabs. 1775 * The File Transfers and Debug Window windows are no longer created as 1776 dialogs. These windows should now have minimize buttons in many 1777 environments in which they were previously missing 1778 (including Windows). 1779 * Smiley themes with Windows line endings no longer cause theme 1780 descriptions not to be displayed in the theme selector. 1781 1782 Finch: 1783 * Fix CVE-2010-0420, a possible remote crash when handling chat room 1784 buddy names. 1785 * Rebindable 'move-first' and 'move-last' actions for tree widgets. So 1786 it is possible to jump to the first or last entry in the buddy list 1787 (and other such lists) by pressing home or end key (defaults) 1788 respectively. 1789 1790version 2.6.5 (01/08/2010): 1791 libpurple: 1792 * TLS certificates are actually stored to the local cache once again 1793 (accepting a name mismatch on a certificate should now be remembered) 1794 1795 General: 1796 * Build-time fixes for Solaris. (Paul Townsend) 1797 1798 AIM and ICQ: 1799 * Messages from some mobile clients are no longer displayed as 1800 Chinese characters (broken in 2.6.4) 1801 1802 MSN: 1803 * Fix an issue allowing a remote user to download arbitrary files from 1804 a libpurple client. (CVE-2010-0013) 1805 1806 XMPP: 1807 * Do not crash when attempting to register for a new account on Windows. 1808 * Fix file transfer with clients that do not support Entity Capabilities 1809 (e.g. Spark) 1810 1811version 2.6.4 (11/29/2009): 1812 libpurple: 1813 * Actually emit the hold signal for media calls. 1814 * Fix building the GnuTLS plugin with older versions of GnuTLS. 1815 * Fix DNS TXT query resolution. 1816 * Don't send Proxy-Authorization headers to HTTP proxy servers until 1817 we've received a "407 Proxy Authentication Required" response from 1818 the server. (thecrux) 1819 * Added "MXit" protocol plugin, supported and maintained by the MXit 1820 folks themselves (MXit Lifestyle (Pty) Ltd.) 1821 1822 General: 1823 * New 'plugins' sub-command to 'debug' command (i.e. '/debug plugins') 1824 to announce the list of loaded plugins (in both Finch and Pidgin). 1825 * Always rejoin open chats after an account reconnects. 1826 1827 AIM and ICQ: 1828 * Better rate limit calculations and other improvements. (Aman Gupta) 1829 * More detailed error messages when messages fail to send. (Aman Gupta) 1830 * The simultaneous login account option is respected when using 1831 the clientLogin authentication method. 1832 * Fix offline message retrieval (broken in 2.6.3) 1833 * Fix handling of markup on some messages (broken in 2.6.2) 1834 * Fix SSL when clientLogin is enabled. 1835 * Fix sending and receiving Unicode characters in a Direct IM 1836 1837 MSN: 1838 * Don't forget display names for buddies. 1839 * Fix a random crash that might occur when idle. 1840 * Fix more FQY 240 connection errors. 1841 * Fix a crash that could occur when adding a buddy. 1842 * Fix an occasional crash when sending message to an offline user. 1843 * Fix a random crash that might occur when idle. 1844 * Fix a crash when logging in with some long non-ASCII passwords. 1845 (Shaun Lindsay) 1846 * Cache our own friendly name as the server no longer does that for 1847 us. Users of older versions may need to re-set their friendly name 1848 as it has probably been reset. 1849 1850 XMPP: 1851 * Users connecting to Google Talk now have an "Initiate Chat" context 1852 menu option for their buddies. (Eion Robb) 1853 * Fix a crash when attempting to validate an invalid JID. 1854 * Resolve an issue when connecting to iChat Server when no resource 1855 is specified. 1856 * Try to automatically find a STUN server by using an SRV lookup on the 1857 account's domain, and use that for voice and video if found and the 1858 user didn't set one manually in prefs. 1859 * Fix a crash when adding a buddy without an '@'. 1860 * Don't show the option to send a file to a buddy if we know for certain 1861 they don't support any file transfer method supported by libpurple. 1862 * Keep the avatar on the server if one is not set locally. 1863 1864 Yahoo: 1865 * Fix sending /buzz. 1866 * Fix blocking behavior for federated (MSN/OCS/Sametime) service users. 1867 (Jason Cohen) 1868 * Add support for adding OCS and Sametime buddies.

(CVE-2009-3026) 1957 1958 Yahoo!/Yahoo! JAPAN: 1959 * Accounts now have "Use account proxy for SSL connections" option. 1960 This option force-overrides the account specific proxy settings for 1961 SSL connections only and instead uses the global proxy configuration. 1962 1963 Finch: 1964 * Properly detect libpanel on OpenBSD. (Brad Smith) 1965 * Remove IO watches in gnt_quit. (Tomasz Mon) 1966 1967 Pidgin: 1968 * Fix the auto-personize functionality in the Buddy List. 1969 * Set the window icon for the media window to an icon corresponding to 1970 the type of call (headphone or webcam). 1971 * Customized sound files are no longer reset whenever opening the 1972 Preferences dialog. 1973 * The buddy list should now immediately refresh upon changing the icon 1974 theme. 1975 1976version 2.6.1 (08/18/2009): 1977 * Fix a crash when some users send you a link in a Yahoo IM 1978 * Fix compilation with GTK+ < 2.6.0 1979 * Fix compilation on Windows 1980 1981version 2.6.0 (08/18/2009): 1982 libpurple: 1983 * Theme support in libpurple thanks to Justin Rodriguez's summer of code 1984 project, with some minor additions and cleanups from Paul Aurich. 1985 * Voice & Video framework in libpurple, thanks to Mike Ruprecht's summer 1986 of code project in 2008. 1987 * It should no longer be possible to end up with duplicates of buddies 1988 in a group on the buddy list. 1989 * Removed the unmaintained and unneeded toc protocol plugin. 1990 * Fixed NTLM authentication on big-endian systems. 1991 * Various memory cleanups when unloading libpurple.

This will optionally be used to only show less useful 2028 debug information on an as-needed basis. 2029 * PURPLE_LEAKCHECK_HELP environment variable. Currently, this is an 2030 "on" or "off" variable. Set it to any value to turn it on and unset 2031 it to turn it off. This will be used to perform various actions 2032 that are useful when running libpurple inside of Valgrind or similar 2033 programs.

This 2309 prevents seeing an outdated alias or not seeing an alias at all for 2310 buddies who are offline when you sign in. 2311 * Update tokens for FindMembership and ABFindAll SOAP requests. 2312 * We no longer try to send empty messages. This could happen when a 2313 message contained only formatting and that formatting was not supported 2314 on MSN. 2315 * Buddies on both the Allow and Block list are now automatically 2316 removed from the Allow list. Users with this problem will now no 2317 longer receive an ADL 241 error.

(Michael Terry) 2469 2470 Pidgin: 2471 * On GTK+ 2.14 and higher, we're using the gtk-tooltip-delay setting 2472 instead of our own (hidden) tooltip_delay pref. If you had 2473 previously changed that pref, add a line like this to 2474 ~/.purple/gtkrc-2.0 (where 500 is the timeout (in ms) you want): 2475 gtk-tooltip-timeout = 500 2476 To completely disable tooltips (e.g. if you had an old 2477 tooltip_delay of zero), add this to ~/.purple/gtkrc-2.0: 2478 gtk-enable-tooltips = 0 2479 * Moved the release notification dialog to a mini-dialog in the 2480 buddylist.

CTRL+S is no longer bound to mute. 2512 * Added ability to change the color of visited links (using the theme 2513 control plugin, or setting the color in ~/.gtkrc-2.0) 2514 * Fix a crash occuring when a custom smiley is deleted and re-added and 2515 used in an open conversation after being re-added. 2516 2517 Finch: 2518 * A new 'Nested Grouping' option in the 'Grouping' plugin. Group 2519 hierarchies are defined by the '/' character in the group names. 2520 * A bug was fixed where some key-bindings wouldn't work with some TERMs 2521 (e.g. xterm-color, screen-linux etc.) 2522 2523 MSN: 2524 * Operations (such as moving to a new group) on contacts that were added 2525 in the same session should now complete correctly, and not cause 2526 synchronization errors at next login. 2527 * Minor fixes to login process during a server transfer. 2528 * Restored the "Has You" feature to the MSN protocol tooltips. 2529 * ADL 205/214/etc errors should no longer prevent login. 2530 2531 XMPP: 2532 * Sending and receiving custom smileys using the specification in 2533 XEP-0231 (bits of binary) and XHTML-IM 2534 2535 Yahoo: 2536 * Only send a Ping once every hour. This prevents the account from 2537 being disconnected from the server periodically. 2538 2539version 2.5.1 (08/30/2008): 2540 libpurple: 2541 * In the Join/Part plugin, add the ability to apply the rules to 2542 buddies. By default, joins and parts for buddies are still shown. 2543 * Support SOCKS proxies specified in GNOME or Windows proxy settings. 2544 * Fix some possible crashes in MSNP15. 2545 * Enable a default SSL trust relationship for MSN servers. 2546 * Avoid disconnecting from XMPP servers on parse errors that are 2547 non-fatal. 2548 * Include some perl files that were mistakenly omitted in 2.5.0. 2549 2550 Pidgin: 2551 * Prevent use of custom smilies without "shortcuts." 2552 * Fix a crash that could appear with AIM buddy tooltips. 2553 2554 Artwork: 2555 * General refresh of many icons in the interface. 2556 * Many cleanups to artwork source are now included in the distribution. 2557 * A new "throbber" animation has been added to indicate when accounts 2558 are connecting. 2559 2560version 2.5.0 (08/18/2008): 2561 libpurple: 2562 * Ability to create custom smileys (currently only the MSN protocol 2563 utilizes the feature). (Thanks to Mauro Sérgio Ferreira Brasil, 2564 Marcus Lundblad, Jorge Villaseñor and other contributors) 2565 * Add a configure option, --with-system-ssl-certs to allow packagers 2566 to specify a system-wide SSL CA certificates directory. When set, 2567 we don't install our SSL CA certs, so it's important that the 2568 libpurple package depend on the CA certificates. 2569 * Add SSL Certificates support to the NSS SSL plugin. (Thanks to Lou 2570 Cipher) 2571 2572 XMPP: 2573 * Fix a bug that caused the UI to not refresh and caused the client 2574 to use 99% CPU when an XMPP account lost its connection to the 2575 server. 2576 * Possibly fix a bug where some clients could get into a state 2577 where they moved a buddy back and forth between two groups in 2578 an endless loop. 2579 2580 IRC: 2581 * /ctcp command (Vladislav Guberinić) 2582 * Allow for auto-detection of incoming UTF-8 formatted text on 2583 accounts which are configured to use some other encoding. 2584 2585 MSN: 2586 * Update MSN support to protocol 15 (Elliott Sales de Andrade, Jorge 2587 Villaseñor, Mike Ruprecht, Carlos Silva, Ma Yuan, Daniel Ljungborg 2588 and others) 2589 * Personal messages are now supported. They are treated as status 2590 messages. 2591 * Offline IM is now supported. 2592 * Aliasing is now supported server-side. 2593 * Buddies are now emblemed. Bots and web clients should now be 2594 distinguished. 2595 * Update smiley set for non-faces. 2596 * Failing to update a buddy icon when the buddy has gone offline no 2597 longer crashes. 2598 * Custom smileys received in a chat no longer go to a new window. 2599 * Processing is no longer completely frozen after the servers block a 2600 message because it contains (what they consider) inappropriate text. 2601 2602 Pidgin: 2603 * Custom buddy icons can now be added to and removed from buddy list 2604 entries via the buddy list entry right-click menu. 2605 * Resize large incoming custom smileys to a maximum of 96px on either 2606 side. 2607 * Offer to add new buddies into the same contact as existing buddies 2608 in the same group if the alias given is the same. 2609 * Minor smiley style update. 2610 2611 General: 2612 * Group and Chat buddy list entries can now be given custom buddy 2613 icons. 2614 2615 Finch: 2616 * Added "Invite..." menu to chats. 2617 * Added "View All Logs" menu in the buddylist to display a list of all IM 2618 logs. 2619 * Added '/msgcolor' command to change colors of different classes of 2620 messages in a conversation. See '/help msgcolor' for details. 2621 * Added tab-completion for commands in conversation windows. 2622 2623version 2.4.3 (07/01/2008): 2624 libpurple: 2625 * Yahoo! Japan now uses UTF-8, matching the behavior of official clients 2626 and restoring compatibility with the web messenger (Yusuke Odate) 2627 * Setting your buddy icon once again works for Yahoo! accounts. 2628 * Fixes in the Yahoo! protocol to prevent a double free, crashes on 2629 aliases, and alias functionality 2630 * Fix crashes in the bonjour protocol 2631 * Always use UTF-8 for Yahoo! (#5973) 2632 * Fix a crash when the given jabber id is invalid. 2633 * Make the IRC "unknown message" debugging messages UTF-8 safe. 2634 * Fix connecting to ICQ 2635 * Fix a memleak when handling jabber xforms. 2636 2637 Pidgin: 2638 * Include the send button plugin in the win32 build 2639 * Various memory leak fixes 2640 2641version 2.4.2 (05/17/2008): 2642 https://developer.pidgin.im/query?status=closed&milestone=2.4.2 2643 libpurple: 2644 * In MySpaceIM, messages from spambots are discarded (Justin Williams) 2645 * Strip mIRC formatting codes from quit and part messages. 2646 * IRC now displays ban lists in-channel for joined channels. 2647 * Fixed a bug where the list of loaded plugins would get removed when 2648 switching between different operating systems. 2649 * Fix reception of IRC PART without a part message on Undernet 2650 (fixes a problem with litter in the channel user list). 2651 * IRC no longer crashes on /list on servers which erroneously omit 2652 RPL_LISTSTART. 2653 * Update the NetworkManager support to use D-Bus directly, instead of 2654 libnm-glib. Hopefully it's stable now. It will now compile by 2655 default if you have D-Bus support and NetworkManager.h. (Elliott 2656 Sales de Andrade) 2657 * MSN buddy list synchronization is now more forgiving, only asking 2658 about buddies who have disappeared completely from the server list 2659 and not those that have simply moved groups. 2660 * IRC will now try to append 1-9 to your nick if it is in use, instead 2661 of substituting the last character with 1-9 where possible. 2662 * Bonjour buddies will be saved persistently if they're moved out of 2663 the "Bonjour" group. (Eion Robb) 2664 2665 Pidgin: 2666 * The typing notification in the conversation history can be disabled or 2667 customized (font, color etc.) in .gtkrc-2.0. 2668 * Added a plugin (not installed by default) which adds a Send button 2669 back to the conversation window. People without physical keyboards 2670 have a hard time with the lack of the button. 2671 * Clicking on the buddyicon in the conversation window toggles the 2672 size of the icon between small and large. 2673 * The settings of a chat (e.g. Handle in an XMPP chat, or Exchange in 2674 an AIM chat) can be edited from its context menu in the buddy list. 2675 * Add a "Present conversation window" preference to the Message 2676 Notification plugin; the "Raise conversation window" option does not 2677 unminimize windows or draw attention to them when they are on other 2678 workspaces--the "Present" option should. 2679 * Add a preference to set Escape as the keyboard shortcut for closing 2680 the conversation window. 2681 * Add an option in the context menu to disable smileys in the selected 2682 text in the conversation history/log viewer. This should help people 2683 who regularly paste code in conversations. 2684 * Add a preference to choose the minimum size of the text input area in 2685 lines. 2686 * Moved the "Local alias" field in the Modify Account dialog to be below 2687 the "User Options" heading on the "Basic" tab. 2688 * Number of room occupants is now shown in chat tooltips where possible 2689 2690 General: 2691 * The configure script now dies on more absent dependencies. The 2692 --disable-xxx arguments to configure can be used to bypass unneeded 2693 dependencies. This will also cause the configure script to die if an 2694 --enable-xxx option is used and the dependencies it requires are 2695 missing. 2696 * The Evolution integration plugin must now be explicitly enabled. Use 2697 the --enable-gevolution argument to configure to enable it. 2698 * The Contact Availability Prediction plugin must now be explicitly 2699 enabled. Use the --enable-cap argument to configure to enable it. 2700 2701 Finch: 2702 * New default binding ctrl+x to open context menus. 2703 * Menu triggers and other bindings will no longer conflict. 2704 * Middle click pastes the internal clipboard (when mouse support is 2705 enabled). 2706 2707version 2.4.1 (03/31/2008): 2708 https://developer.pidgin.im/query?status=closed&milestone=2.4.1 2709 2710 libpurple: 2711 * Treat AIM Unicode messages as UTF-16 rather than UCS-2; this 2712 should have no functional effect, other than continued support 2713 on systems which have dropped UCS-2 conversions. 2714 * Add support for setting buddy icons on Gadu-Gadu (Tomasz Salacinski) 2715 * Fix a crash when clearing the buddy icon for an account on XMPP 2716 * Fix a crash during login for some ICQ accounts 2717 * Prefer more available resources on XMPP when priorities are equal 2718 * Fix incorrectly marking some Yahoo! contacts as blocked 2719 * Improved handling of UTF-8 group names on ICQ (beret) 2720 * Fix a crash when starting if you have a Zephyr account 2721 * Increase XMPP ping timeout to 120 seconds, to prevent poor network 2722 connections from timing out unnecessarily. 2723 * Don't crash on XMPP forms with empty default values. 2724 * Fix issues with CHAP authentication for SOCKS5 proxies. 2725 2726 Pidgin: 2727 * Remove a workaround for older versions gstreamer that was causing 2728 crashes on some non-Linux systems such as HPUX 2729 * Fix some cases of the conversation input entry area being 1 pixel high 2730 * Fix for displaying channel & buddy names in conversation window when 2731 they have '&' in them 2732 * Some memory leak fixes, especially in the Text Replacement plugin 2733 * Rectangular but non-square buddy icons have rounded corners in the buddy 2734 list 2735 2736 Finch: 2737 * Fix compiling with Glib older than 2.6 2738 * Ensure existing conversations selected from the 'Send IM' dialog are 2739 given focus 2740 * Move the tooltip on the left of the buddylist if there's not enough room 2741 on the right to show it. 2742 2743version 2.4.0 (02/29/2008): 2744 https://developer.pidgin.im/query?status=closed&milestone=2.4.0 2745 2746 libpurple: 2747 * Added support for offline messages for AIM accounts (thanks to 2748 Matthew Goldstein) 2749 * Fixed various problems with loss of status messages when going 2750 or returning from idle on MySpaceIM. 2751 * Eliminated unmaintained Howl backend implementation for the 2752 Bonjour protocol. Avahi (or Apple's Bonjour runtime on win32) is 2753 now required to use Bonjour. 2754 * Partial support for viewing ICQ status notes (Collin from 2755 ComBOTS GmbH). 2756 * Support for /notice on IRC. 2757 * Support for Yahoo! Messenger 7.0+ file transfer method (Thanumalayan S.) 2758 * Support for retrieving full names and addresses from the address book 2759 on Yahoo! Japan (Yusuke Odate) 2760 * The AIM/ICQ server-side preference for "allow others to see me 2761 as idle" is no longer unconditionally set to "yes" even when 2762 your libpurple preference is "no." 2763 * Fix SSL certificate checks for renewed certificates 2764 * Fix the ability to set vCard buddy icons on Google Talk/XMPP 2765 * D-Bus fixes on 64bit 2766 * Fixed retrieval of buddy icons and setting of server-side aliases on 2767 Yahoo! and Yahoo! Japan when using an HTTP proxy server (Gideon N. 2768 Guillen) 2769 * Fixed an MSN bug that would leave you appearing offline when transferred 2770 to different server 2771 2772 Pidgin: 2773 * Added the ability to theme conversation name colors (red and blue) 2774 through your GTK+ theme, and exposed those theme settings to the 2775 Pidgin GTK+ Theme Control plugin (Dustin Howett) 2776 * Fixed having multiple alias edit areas in the infopane (Elliott Sales 2777 de Andrade) 2778 * Save the conversation "Enable Logging" option per-contact (Moos 2779 Heintzen) 2780 * Typing notifications are now shown in the conversation area 2781 2782 Finch: 2783 * Color is used in the buddylist to indicate status, and the conversation 2784 window to indicate various message attributes. Look at the sample gntrc 2785 file in the man page for details. 2786 * The default keybinding for dump-screen is now M-D and uses a file 2787 request dialog. M-d will properly delete-forward-word, and M-f has been 2788 fixed to imitate readline's behavior. 2789 * New bindings alt+tab and alt+shift+tab to help navigating between the 2790 higlighted windows (details on the man page). 2791 * Recently signed on (or off) buddies blink in the buddy list. 2792 * New action 'Room List' in the action list can be used to get the list of 2793 available chat rooms for an online account. 2794 * The 'Grouping' plugin can be used for alternate grouping in the 2795 buddylist. The current options are 'Group Online/Offline' and 'No 2796 Group'. 2797 * Added a log viewer 2798 * Added the ability to block/unblock buddies - see the buddy context menu 2799 and the menu for the buddy list. 2800 * Fixed a bug preventing finch working on x86_64 2801 2802version 2.3.1 (12/7/2007): 2803 https://developer.pidgin.im/query?status=closed&milestone=2.3.1 2804 NOTE: Due to the way this release was made, it is possible that 2805 bugs marked as fixed in 2.3.1 will not be fixed until the 2806 next release. 2807 2808 * Fixed a number of MSN bugs introduced in 2.3.0, resolving problems 2809 connecting to MSN and random local display name changes 2810 * Going idle on MySpaceIM will no longer clear your status and message. 2811 * Idle MySpaceIM buddies should now appear online at login. 2812 * Fixed crashes in XMPP when discovering a client's capabilities 2813 * Don't set the current tune title if it's NULL (XMPP/Google Talk) 2814 * Don't allow buddies to be manually added to Bonjour 2815 * Don't advertise IPv6 on Bonjour because we don't support it 2816 * Compile fixes for FreeBSD and Solaris 2817 * Update QQ client version so some accounts can connect again 2818 * Do not allow ISON requests to stack in IRC, preventing flooding IRC 2819 servers when temporary network outages are restored 2820 * Plug several leaks in the perl plugin loader 2821 * Prevent autoaccept plugin overwriting existing files 2822 2823version 2.3.0 (11/24/2007): 2824 https://developer.pidgin.im/query?status=closed&milestone=2.3.0 2825 NOTE: Some bugs marked fixed in 2.2.1, 2.2.2 or 2.2.3 may not 2826 have been fixed until this release (2.3.0). 2827 2828 libpurple: 2829 * Real usernames are now shown in the system log. 2830 * We now honor a PURPLE_DISABLE_DEPRECATED define to allow plugins to 2831 catch deprecated functions earlier rather than later. 2832 * Thanks to a patch from Intel, the Bonjour prpl now supports file 2833 transfers using XEP-0096 and XEP-0065. This should enable file 2834 transfers between libpurple clients and Gajim clients, but will not 2835 work with iChat or Adium as they use a different file transfer 2836 implementation. 2837 * XMPP password changes that return errors no longer cause the saved 2838 password to be changed. 2839 * XMPP file transfer support has been enhanced to support sending 2840 files through a proxy when the server supports discovering a 2841 a bytestream proxy. This should make file transfers much more 2842 reliable. The next release will add support for manually specifying 2843 a proxy when the server doesn't advertise one. 2844 2845 Pidgin: 2846 * If a plugin says it can't be unloaded, we now display an error and 2847 remove the plugin from the list of saved plugins so it won't load 2848 at the next startup. Previously, we were ignoring this case, which 2849 could lead to crashes. 2850 * Mark dialog windows as transient for appropriate parent windows to 2851 help window managers do the right thing (Gabriel Schulhof) 2852 * Connection errors are now reported in mini-dialogs inside the buddy 2853 list, rather than as buttons in the buddy list and with dialog 2854 boxes. If several accounts are disabled when you sign on elsewhere, 2855 you can now re-enable them all with a single click. 2856 * Added tooltips to the Room List window to show full topics 2857 * Added buttons in preferences to access GNOME network and browser 2858 preferences configuration dialogs when running under GNOME 2859 * If you alias a buddy to an alias that is already present within 2860 a particular group, we now offer to merge the buddies into the 2861 same contact. 2862 * A music emblem is now displayed in the buddy list for a buddy if we 2863 know she is listening to some soothing music. 2864 * Added a 'Move to' menu in buddy list context menu for moving buddies 2865 to other groups as an alternative to dragging. 2866 * Group headings are now marked via an underline instead of a 2867 different color background. 2868 * It is now possible to mark a chat on your buddy list as "Persistent" 2869 so you do not leave the chat when the window or tab is closed. 2870 * The auto-join option for chats is now listed in the "Add Chat" 2871 dialog along with the new persistence option. 2872 * Closing an IM no longer immediately closes your conversation. It 2873 will now remain active for a short time so that if the conversation 2874 resumes, the history will be retained. A preference has been added 2875 to toggle this behavior. 2876 * The "Smiley" menu has been moved to the top-level of the toolbar. 2877 * Pidgin's display is now saved with the command line for session 2878 restoration. (David Mohr) 2879 * ICQ Birthday notifications are shown as buddy list emblems. 2880 * Plugin actions are now available from the docklet context menu 2881 in addition to the Tool menu of the buddy list. 2882 * The manual page has been heavily rewritten to bring it in line 2883 with current functionality. 2884 2885 Finch: 2886 * If a plugin says it can't be unloaded, we now display an error and 2887 remove the plugin from the list of saved plugins so it won't load 2888 at the next startup. Previously, we were ignoring this case, which 2889 could lead to crashes. 2890 * It's possible to bind key-strokes to specific menuitems in the windows. 2891 Read the 'Menus' section in the man-page for details. 2892 * 'transpose-chars' operation for the entry boxes. The default key-binding 2893 is ctrl+t. 2894 * 'yank' operation for the entry boxes. The default binding is ctrl+y. 2895 2896version 2.2.2 (10/23/2007): 2897 https://developer.pidgin.im/query?status=closed&milestone=2.2.2 2898 NOTE: Due to the way this release was made, it is possible that 2899 bugs marked as fixed in 2.2.1 or 2.2.2 will not be fixed 2900 until the next release. 2901 2902 * Various bug and memory leak fixes 2903 * Look for a default prefs.xml in the CSIDL_COMMON_APPDATA directory 2904 (e.g. c:\Documents and Settings\All Users\ 2905 Application Data\purple\prefs.xml) on Windows, similarly to 2906 how this is done on other platforms. 2907 2908version 2.2.1 (09/29/2007): 2909 https://developer.pidgin.im/query?status=closed&milestone=2.2.1 2910 NOTE: Due to the backporting that happened for the actual 2911 release, it is possible bugs marked as fixed in 2.2.1 2912 will not be fixed until 2.2.2. 2913 2914 libpurple: 2915 * A few build issues on Solaris were fixed. 2916 * Cancelling the password prompt for an account will no longer leave 2917 it in an ambiguous state. (It will be disabled.) 2918 * Fixed an erroneous size display for MSN file transfers. (galt) 2919 * Fixed multiple memory leaks, particularly in XMPP and MySpace 2920 protocols 2921 * Fixed remembering proxy preferences and status scores 2922 * Gmail notifications are better tracked 2923 2924 Pidgin: 2925 * Fixed keyboard tab reordering to move tabs one step instead of two. 2926 * You should no longer lose proxy settings when Pidgin is restarted. 2927 * Fixed detection of X11 when compiling 2928 2929 Finch: 2930 * Pressing 'Insert' in the buddylist will bring up the 'Add Buddy' 2931 dialog. 2932 2933version 2.2.0 (09/13/2007): 2934 https://developer.pidgin.im/query?status=closed&milestone=2.2.0 2935 2936 libpurple: 2937 * New protocol plugin: MySpaceIM (Jeff Connelly, Google Summer of 2938 Code) 2939 * XMPP enhancements. See 2940 http://www.adiumx.com/blog/2007/07/soc-xmpp-update.php (Andreas 2941 Monitzer, Google Summer of Code for Adium) 2942 * Certificate management. libpurple will validate certificates on 2943 SSL-encrypted protocols (William Ehlhardt, Google Summer of Code) 2944 * Some adjustments were made to fix sending messages when using 2945 the MSN HTTP method. (Laszlo Pandy) 2946 * Yahoo! Chat is fixed. 2947 * Some AIM file transfer issues between Pidgin and other clients 2948 have been fixed. (Kyryll A Mirnenko) 2949 * Properly restore idle status and time for AIM and ICQ accounts 2950 when they reconnect after being disconnected. 2951 2952 Pidgin: 2953 * Insert Horizontal Rules and Strikethrough text from toolbar. 2954 * Option to show protocol icons in the buddy list, from the 2955 Buddies > Show menu. (Justin Heiner) 2956 * Ability to build with native, non-X11 GTK+ on OSX. (Anders 2957 Hasselqvist) 2958 * Remember the 'Enable Sounds' setting for a conversation. 2959 * Right-clicking the empty space in the formatting toolbar 2960 allows you to toggle back to the old "ungrouped" version. 2961 * Protocols supporting account registration via Pidgin now show 2962 a descriptive checkbox instead of a vague "Register" button. 2963 * Fixed a bug where a tab would be shown on single conversations 2964 when tabs were disabled. 2965 2966 Finch: 2967 * Per-conversation mute and logging options (accessible from the menu). 2968 2969version 2.1.1 (08/20/2007): 2970 Yahoo: 2971 * Added an account action to open your inbox in the yahoo prpl. 2972 * Added support for Unicode status messages in Yahoo. 2973 * Server-stored aliases for Yahoo. (John Moody) 2974 * Fixed support for Yahoo! doodling. 2975 * Limited support for MSN Messenger contacts 2976 2977 Bonjour: 2978 * Bonjour plugin uses native Avahi instead of Howl 2979 * Bonjour plugin supports Buddy Icons 2980 2981 XMPP: 2982 * Only report conversation close when 'send typing notifications' 2983 preference is turned on (Bob Rossi) 2984 2985 Pidgin: 2986 * Show current outgoing conversation formatting on the font label on 2987 the toolbar 2988 * Slim new redesign of conversation tabs to maximize number of 2989 conversations that can fit in a window 2990 * Tab bar is not visible when only one conversation is open. You can 2991 drag and drop conversations from the infopane. 2992 * Moved "Reset Formatting" toolbar button to Font menu. 2993 * Double click on the infopane to alias buddies and set topics 2994 on chats 2995 * New smiley style 2996 2997 Finch: 2998 * Sound support (Eric Polino) 2999 3000version 2.1.0 (07/28/2007): 3001 libpurple: 3002 * Core changes to allow UIs to use second-granularity for scheduling. 3003 Pidgin and Finch, which use the glib event loop, were changed to use 3004 g_timeout_add_seconds() on glib >= 2.14 when possible.
