1Version 2.8.0: 08/06/2020

14	* Removed the Napster plugin as opennap hasn't been updated in 20 years.
15	  (Gary Kramlich)
16	* Removed the xchat-chats plugin as it's kind of hacky and bundles a very
17	  old version of the xchat widget. (Gary Kramlich)
18	* Removed the awaynotify plugin as it was incomplete and unlikely to be
19	  completed. (Gary Kramlich)

45	* Added icon-override plugin (Eion Robb)
46	* Added translate plugin (Eion Robb)
47	* Added Ning protocol plugin (Eion Robb)
48	* Added OkCupid protocol plugin (Eion Robb)
49	* Added Omegle protocol plugin (Eion Robb)
50	* Fix a use-after-free in IRC Helper.

53	* Support new Freenode IDENTIFY syntax in IRC Helper so users can log into
54	  services even when using an alternate or new nick.
55	* IRC Helper now properly supports and suppresses new Freenode welcome and
56	  identified messages.
57	* Updated website string to reflect project move from Trac to Redmine
58	* Changed package name from purple-plugin_pack to purple-plugin-pack.

63	* IRC Helper now supports suppressing messages from the Freenode bot
64	  frigg.

66	  (Ivan Ponomarev)
67	* IRC-More no longer tries to set umodes on connect if none are specified.
68	* IRC-More now provides a channel autojoin list.  Autojoins happen with a
69	  6-second delay to allow IRC Helper to do its job first.
70
71Version 2.6.2: 01/01/10
72	* Fix IRC More plugin not properly rejoining channels.
73	* IRC More no longer has a preference for auto rejoin delay--default to
74	  100 milliseconds.
75	* Splitter plugin now connects to signals with
76	  PURPLE_SIGNAL_PRIORITY_HIGHEST, which makes it process messages last.
77	* Splitter will not touch any messages generated by the OTR plugin,
78	  resolving compatibility issues.
79	* Splitter now resubmits split messages through the normal message
80	  handling mechanisms in libpurple and tracks those resubmissions, meaning
81	  splitting of messages will no longer bypass any other plugins
82	  intercepting outgoing messages.
83	* /exec's author list no longer makes the Pidgin plugins dialog wider.
84	* Talkfilters is no longer a dependency of itself, allowing the plugin to
85	  build. (pva)
86
87Version 2.6.1: 12/07/09
88	* Add support for limiting the number of bytes of history displayed by
89	  the Enhanced History plugin.
90	* Add a preference to the Google plugin to allow users to specify a
91	  Google domain to use.  For example, www.google.com or www.google.fr.
92	* Fix the "Set User Modes On Connect" and "Unset User Modes On Connect"
93	  settings provided by irc-more on IRC accounts.
94	* Fix Message Splitter so that it builds on Windows.
95	* Fix Group Message so that its request dialog doesn't get too long.
96	* Make IRC Helper suppress an additional message related to hostmasks.
97	  (John Dennis)
98	* Fix the Colorize plugin to be UTF-8 compliant.
99
100Version 2.6.0: 08/30/09
101	* Fix grouping of radio buttons in switchspell menu for enchant-enabled
102	  GtkSpell.  This has the side effect of eliminating slow tab switching
103	  and multiple language switches during menu drawing.  (Basil Gor)
104	* Fixed a NULL deref crash in the slashexec plugin when processing a
105	  chat room message.
106	* Added XMPP Priority plugin.  This allows users to configure the
107	  priority attribute for XMPP statuses on a per-account basis.
108	* Added the "abusive" stress plugin.  This is a protocol plugin intended
109	  for use in stressing libpurple and any plugins using libpurple's
110	  facilities.  This plugin is still experimental and will almost certainly
111	  cause some problems, so use with caution and do NOT use with your usual
112	  .purple directory!
113
114Version 2.5.1: 12/25/08
115	* Really fixed switch spell now...
116
117Version 2.5.0: 12/20/08
118	* Fixed some crashes in autprofile related to old preference paths
119	  (amishmm)
120	* ListHandler now handles "FriendlyName" lines in .blt files generated by
121	  newer Windows AIM versions when importing.
122	* Added Vietnamese translation - thanks Nguyen Huu Phuoc
123	* findip and groupmsg are now default plugins.
124	* Added nomobility plugin (does not yet work, doesn't build by default)
125	* Fixed --with-plugins (yet again...)
126	* Support dependency scenarios where dependency A OR dependency B is the
127	  correct solution.  This fixes dependencies for switchspell, which can
128	  use GTKSpell with either the Enchant backend or the aspell backend.
129	  Let us know if you still have trouble building switchspell but have
130	  the correct development packages installed.
131
132Version 2.4.0: 08/03/08
133	* Rewrote the build system to make our lifes easier, as well as support
134	  the requirements of some plugins.  This has added a dependency on
135	  python.
136	* Removed 'menuconfig' since the new build system should be extending
137	  to support it's behavior instead.
138	* Merged the Autoprofile plugin into our build system.
139	* Fixed convbadger's failure to update on conversation switch.
140	* Added Ike Gingerich's colorize plugin
141	* Added Ike Gingerich's splitter plugin
142	* Fixed dewysiwygification's debug messages not properly ending lines.
143	* Added Google plugin for "I'm Feeling Lucky" searches.
144	* Fixed aspell dependency in switchspell (fixes gentoo bug #196693)
145	* Made switchspell work with gtkspell that uses enchant; this behavior is
146	  now the default.  To use gtkspell using aspell, use the
147	  --disable-enchant argument to ./configure.
148	* Added preferences to the irssi plugin that allow changing its behavior
149	* Fixed the preference strings in slashexec so mnemonics are no longer
150	  incorrectly interpreted from the strings.
151	* Added Message Length plugin (short name: msglen).
152	* Added Chat User List Logging plugin (short name: listlog).
153	* The Enhanced History plugin is now contact-aware.
154	* Slashexec now strips ASCII control characters.  Fixes, among others,
155	  bug #452, where commands can cause XMPP disconnection.  May cause some
156	  characters to be sent that are part of escape sequences.
157
158Version 2.3.0: 03/17/08
159	* Fixed a typo in irc-more's source that allowed a potential double-free
160	* Fixed unregistering commands when unloading gRIM and Magic 8 ball plugin
161	* Fixed napster plugin.  It builds cleanly and loads properly now.
162	* Added /bollocks command to Magic 8 ball plugin inspired by (and ported
163	  from) /dev/bollocks kernel module
164	* Added Andrew Pangborn's Enhanced History plugin and ported it to the
165	  Pidgin and libpurple APIs.  Cleaned up some preferences as well.
166	* Dice plugin now supports dice notation
167	  (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dice_notation), but it's not perfect yet.
168	  (Lucas Paul)
169	* Dice plugin now calls the /me command with its output.
170	* Irc-more plugin adds notice support only when built against libpurple
171	  older than 2.4.0.
172	* Napster plugin now builds by default.
173	* Removed the broadcast plugin.
174	* Memory leak fixes
175	* Fixed the --with-plugins configure argument.  It now correctly handles
176	  all, default, and a comma separated list of plugins.
177	* Fixed a crash in the xchat-chats plugin which occurs due to the changes
178	  to the conversation window in 2.4.0.
179	* Fixed a missing header include in the timelog plugin which caused a
180	  plugin load failure under some circumstances.
181	* Finally added some content to README
182
183Version 2.2.0: 10/25/07

192	* Fixed a crash in ignore where a nickname that is not all lowercase
193	  causes unintended behavior resulting in a crash (rageboy04, qwert)
194	* Fixed a possible double-free crash in /notice support in irc-more.
195	* Fixed a crash in Slashexec that has only shown itself when using the
196	  Offline Message Emulation plugin to emulate an offline message at the
197	  same time as Slashexec is loaded.
198	* Fixed the version number for highlight and ignore so they show the
199	  correct Plugin Pack version instead of the version of Pidgin they were
200	  built against.
201	* Fixed building with ancient glib. (Bodo Bellut)
202	* Removed the .build file from hideconv to remove it from default
203	  builds.  Pidgin will have persistent conversations soon.
204	* Partially merged buddytimezone from the buddytools package into the
205	  existing (incomplete) buddytime plugin
206	* Autoreply now can be disabled per-account (rageboy04)
207	* Listhandler now supports restoring a buddy list from a backed-up
208	  blist.xml file created by backing up ~/.purple.
209	* Merged autorejoin into irc-more.  No prefs migration will take place.
210	  You will need to reconfigure the delay yourself.  Autorejoin no longer
211	  exists.
