Pidgin 2.3.0

Version 2.3.0 (11/24/2007)
NOTE: Some bugs marked fixed in 2.2.1, 2.2.2 or 2.2.3 may not have been fixed until this release (2.3.0).

libpurple
Real usernames are now shown in the system log.
We now honor a PURPLE_DISABLE_DEPRECATED define to allow plugins to catch deprecated functions earlier rather than later.
Thanks to a patch from Intel, the Bonjour prpl now supports file transfers using XEP-0096 and XEP-0065. This should enable file transfers between libpurple clients and Gajim clients, but will not work with iChat or Adium as they use a different file transfer implementation.
XMPP password changes that return errors no longer cause the saved password to be changed.
XMPP file transfer support has been enhanced to support sending files through a proxy when the server supports discovering a a bytestream proxy. This should make file transfers much more reliable. The next release will add support for manually specifying a proxy when the server doesn't advertise one.
Pidgin
If a plugin says it can't be unloaded, we now display an error and remove the plugin from the list of saved plugins so it won't load at the next startup. Previously, we were ignoring this case, which could lead to crashes.
Connection errors are now reported in mini-dialogs inside the buddy list, rather than as buttons in the buddy list and with dialog boxes. If several accounts are disabled when you sign on elsewhere, you can now re-enable them all with a single click.
Added tooltips to the Room List window to show full topics
Added buttons in preferences to access GNOME network and browser preferences configuration dialogs when running under GNOME
If you alias a buddy to an alias that is already present within a particular group, we now offer to merge the buddies into the same contact.
A music emblem is now displayed in the buddy list for a buddy if we know she is listening to some soothing music.
Added a 'Move to' menu in buddy list context menu for moving buddies to other groups as an alternative to dragging.
Group headings are now marked via an underline instead of a different color background.
It is now possible to mark a chat on your buddy list as "Persistent" so you do not leave the chat when the window or tab is closed.
The auto-join option for chats is now listed in the "Add Chat" dialog along with the new persistence option.
Closing an IM no longer immediately closes your conversation. It will now remain active for a short time so that if the conversation resumes, the history will be retained. A preference has been added to toggle this behavior.
The "Smiley" menu has been moved to the top-level of the toolbar.
Pidgin's display is now saved with the command line for session restoration. (David Mohr)
ICQ Birthday notifications are shown as buddy list emblems.
Plugin actions are now available from the docklet context menu in addition to the Tool menu of the buddy list.
The manual page has been heavily rewritten to bring it in line with current functionality.
Finch
If a plugin says it can't be unloaded, we now display an error and remove the plugin from the list of saved plugins so it won't load at the next startup. Previously, we were ignoring this case, which could lead to crashes.
It's possible to bind key-strokes to specific menuitems in the windows. Read the 'Menus' section in the man-page for details.
'transpose-chars' operation for the entry boxes. The default key-binding is ctrl+t.
'yank' operation for the entry boxes. The default binding is ctrl+y

Pidgin 2.4.0

Changes:
version 2.4.0 (02/29/2008):
libpurple:
* Added support for offline messages for AIM accounts (thanks to
Matthew Goldstein)
* Fixed various problems with loss of status messages when going
or returning from idle on MySpaceIM.
* Eliminated unmaintained Howl backend implementation for the
Bonjour protocol. Avahi (or Apple's Bonjour runtime on win32) is
now required to use Bonjour.
* Partial support for viewing ICQ status notes (Collin from
ComBOTS GmbH).
* Support for /notice on IRC.
* Support for Yahoo! Messenger 7.0+ file transfer method (Thanumalayan S.)
* Support for retrieving full names and addresses from the address book
on Yahoo! Japan (Yusuke Odate)
* The AIM/ICQ server-side preference for "allow others to see me
as idle" is no longer unconditionally set to "yes" even when
your libpurple preference is "no."
* Fix SSL certificate checks for renewed certificates
* Fix the ability to set vCard buddy icons on Google Talk/XMPP
* D-Bus fixes on 64bit
* Fixed retrieval of buddy icons and setting of server-side aliases on
Yahoo! and Yahoo! Japan when using an HTTP proxy server (Gideon N.
Guillen)
* Fixed an MSN bug that would leave you appearing offline when transferred
to different server

Pidgin:
* Added the ability to theme conversation name colors (red and blue)
through your GTK+ theme, and exposed those theme settings to the
Pidgin GTK+ Theme Control plugin (Dustin Howett)
* Fixed having multiple alias edit areas in the infopane (Elliott Sales
de Andrade)
* Save the conversation "Enable Logging" option per-contact (Moos
Heintzen)
* Typing notifications are now shown in the conversation area

Finch:
* Color is used in the buddylist to indicate status, and the conversation
window to indicate various message attributes. Look at the sample gntrc
file in the man page for details.
* The default keybinding for dump-screen is now M-D and uses a file
request dialog. M-d will properly delete-forward-word, and M-f has been
fixed to imitate readline's behavior.
* New bindings alt+tab and alt+shift+tab to help navigating between the
higlighted windows (details on the man page).
* Recently signed on (or off) buddies blink in the buddy list.
* New action 'Room List' in the action list can be used to get the list of
available chat rooms for an online account.
* The 'Grouping' plugin can be used for alternate grouping in the
buddylist. The current options are 'Group Online/Offline' and 'No
Group'.
* Added a log viewer
* Added the ability to block/unblock buddies - see the buddy context menu
and the menu for the buddy list.
* Fixed a bug preventing finch working on x86_64

Pidgin 2.4.2

libpurple
In MySpaceIM, messages from spambots are discarded (Justin Williams)
Strip mIRC formatting codes from quit and part messages.
IRC now displays ban lists in-channel for joined channels.
Fixed a bug where the list of loaded plugins would get removed when switching between different operating systems.
Fix reception of IRC PART without a part message on Undernet (fixes a problem with litter in the channel user list).
IRC no longer crashes on /list on servers which erroneously omit RPL_LISTSTART.
Update the NetworkManager support to use D-Bus directly, instead of libnm-glib. Hopefully it's stable now. It will now compile by default if you have D-Bus support and NetworkManager.h. (Elliott Sales de Andrade)
MSN buddy list synchronization is now more forgiving, only asking about buddies who have disappeared completely from the server list and not those that have simply moved groups.
IRC will now try to append 1-9 to your nick if it is in use, instead of substituting the last character with 1-9 where possible.
Bonjour buddies will be saved persistently if they're moved out of the "Bonjour" group. (Eion Robb)
Pidgin
The typing notification in the conversation history can be disabled or customized (font, color etc.) in .gtkrc-2.0.
Added a plugin (not installed by default) which adds a Send button back to the conversation window. People without physical keyboards have a hard time with the lack of the button.
Clicking on the buddyicon in the conversation window toggles the size of the icon between small and large.
The settings of a chat (e.g. Handle in an XMPP chat, or Exchange in an AIM chat) can be edited from its context menu in the buddy list.
Add a "Present conversation window" preference to the Message Notification plugin; the "Raise conversation window" option does not unminimize windows or draw attention to them when they are on other workspaces--the "Present" option should.
Add a preference to set Escape as the keyboard shortcut for closing the conversation window.
Add an option in the context menu to disable smileys in the selected text in the conversation history/log viewer. This should help people who regularly paste code in conversations.
Add a preference to choose the minimum size of the text input area in lines.
Moved the "Local alias" field in the Modify Account dialog to be below the "User Options" heading on the "Basic" tab.
Number of room occupants is now shown in chat tooltips where possible
General
The configure script now dies on more absent dependencies. The --disable-xxx arguments to configure can be used to bypass unneeded dependencies. This will also cause the configure script to die if an --enable-xxx option is used and the dependencies it requires are missing.
The Evolution integration plugin must now be explicitly enabled. Use the --enable-gevolution argument to configure to enable it.
The Contact Availability Prediction plugin must now be explicitly enabled. Use the --enable-cap argument to configure to enable it.
Finch
New default binding ctrl+x to open context menus.
Menu triggers and other bindings will no longer conflict.
Middle click pastes the internal clipboard (when mouse support is enabled).

pidgin 2.5.0

libpurple

Ability to create custom smileys (currently only the MSN protocol utilizes the feature). (Thanks to Mauro Sérgio Ferreira Brasil, Marcus Lundblad, Jorge Villaseñor and other contributors)
Add a configure option, --with-system-ssl-certs to allow packagers to specify a system-wide SSL CA certificates directory. When set, we don't install our SSL CA certs, so it's important that the libpurple package depend on the CA certificates.

Windows-specific changes

Don't install the GSSAPI SASL plugin on NT4 to avoid an error popup.
Use the Kerberos for Windows libraries installed on the system (if present) instead of including enough to load the plugin (Kfw still needed to be installed for it to actually work before this change).
Upgrade to Perl 5.10 (System Perl runtime must be upgraded for Perl plugins to continue to work).

Fix an error with offline messages by shipping the new "Microsoft Secure Server Authority" and the "Microsoft Internet Authority" certificates. These are now always installed even when using --with-system-ssl-certs because most systems don't ship those intermediate certificates.

XMPP

Less likely to send messages to a contact's idle/inactive resource. Previously, if a message was received from a specific resource, responses would be sent to that resource until either it went offline or a message is received from another resource. Now, messages are sent to the bare JID upon receipt of any presence change from the contact.
Added support for the SCRAM-SHA-1 SASL mechanism. This is only available when built without
Cyrus SASL support.
When getting info on a domain-only (server) JID, show uptime (when given by the result of the "last query") and don't show status as offline.

Allow dropping an image on Custom Smiley window to add a new one.
Prompt for confirmation when clearing a whiteboard (doodle) session. (Kartik Mohta)
Use the "hand" cursor when hovering over usernames in chat history to indicate that the username is an actionable item.
Double-clicking usernames in chat history will open an IM with that user.
Put an icon on the "Filter" button in the debug window.
Don't treat "/messages/like/this " as commands.
Explicitly mark user interaction when inserting smilies from the toolbar so "Undo" correctly removes these smilies.
Clicking "New" or "Saved" in the status selector menu while typing a status message no longer keeps the status entry area stuck in "typing" mode forever.
Show tooltips for ellipsized conversation tabs. On older systems, tooltips will show for all tabs.
The File Transfers and Debug Window windows are no longer created as dialogs. These windows should now have minimize buttons in many environments in which they were previously missing (including Windows).
Smiley themes with Windows line endings no longer cause theme descriptions not to be displayed in the theme selector.

Finch

Fix CVE-2010-0420, a possible remote crash when handling chat room buddy names.
Rebindable 'move-first' and 'move-last' actions for tree widgets. So it is possible to jump to the first or last entry in the buddy list (and other such lists) by pressing home or end key (defaults) respectively.

o Fix NSS to work when reinitialized after being used. (Thanks to Ludovico Cavedon for the testcase)
o Added support for PURPLE_GNUTLS_PRIORITIES environment variable. This can be used to specify GnuTLS priorities on a per-host basis. The format is "host=priority;host2=priority;...". The default priority can be overridden by using "*" as the host. See the GnuTLS manual for documentation on the format of the priority strings.
o Fix autoconf detection of Python. (Brad Smith)
o Fix a crash when a Windows proxy (from IE) does not have a port. (Marten Klencke)

* Pidgin

o Added UI for sending attentions (buzz, nudge) on supporting protocols.
o Make the search dialog unobtrusive in the conversation window (by making it look and behave like the search dialog in Firefox)
o The Recent Log Activity sort method for the Buddy List now distinguishes between no activity and a small amount of activity in the distant past. (Greg McNew)
o Added a menu set mood globally for all mood-supporting accounts (currently XMPP and ICQ).
o Default binding of Ctrl+Shift+v to 'Paste as Plain Text' in conversation windows. This can be changed in .gtkrc-2.0. For example, Ctrl+v can be bound to 'Paste as Plain Text' by default.
o Plugins can now handle markup in buddy names by attaching to the "drawing-buddy" signal. (Daniele Ricci, Andrea Piccinelli)
o Be more accommodating when scaling down large images for use as buddy icons.
o The 'Message Timestamp Formats' plugin allows changing the timestamp format from the timestamps' context menu in conversation log.
o The 'Message Timestamp Formats' plugin allows forcing 12-hour timestamps. (Jonathan Maltz)

o Show file transfer thumbnails for images on supporting protocols (currently only supported on MSN).

* Bonjour
o Added support for IPv6. (Thanks to T_X for testing)

* Gadu-Gadu

o Minimum requirement for external libgadu is now also 1.9.0-rc2.
* AIM and ICQ

o Allow setting and displaying icons between 1x1 and 100x100 pixels for ICQ. Previously only icons between 48x48 and 52x64 were allowed.
o When using the clientLogin authentication method, prompt for a password on reconnect when "Remember Password" is not checked and authentication fails due to an incorrect password. (This is the same behavior as the legacy authentication method)
o Support sending and receiving HTML-formatted messages for ICQ.
o Use the proper URL for "View web profile" link for ICQ buddies. (Alexander Nartov)

* MSN
o Support for version 9 of the MSN protocol has been removed. This version is no longer supported on the servers.
o Support file transfer thumbnails (previews) for images.
o Fix CVE-2010-1624 (custom emoticon remote crash).

* XMPP
o Direct messages to a specific resource only upon receipt of a message with content (as opposed to a typing notification, etc). (Thanks to rjoly for testing)
o Present a better error message when authentication fails while trying to connect to Facebook. (David Reiss, Facebook)
o When sending data using in-band-bytestreams, interpret the block-size attribute as the size of the BASE64-encoded representation of the data.
o Validate the hash on incoming BoB data objects (for custom smileys etc.), cache based per JID when the CID is not a valid hash (as specified by the BoB XEP).
o Send whitespace keepalives if we haven't sent data in a while (2 minutes). This fixes an issue with Openfire disconnecting a libpurple-baesd client that has just been quiet for about 6 minutes.
o Only support Google Talk's JID Domain Discovery extension (allowing a user to log in with "@gmail.com" or "@googlemail.com" interchangeably) for those two domains. This change was made due to interoperability issues with some BOSH Connection Managers and namespaced attributes.

* Yahoo/Yahoo JAPAN
o Attempt to better handle transparent proxies interfering with HTTP-based login.
o Fix handling of P2P packets, thus fixing the loss of some messages.
o Retrieve the pager server address from Yahoo!'s servers directly.
o Removed the "Pager server" account option, as it is no longer needed.
o The authentication code is now less order-sensitive with the components of the server's response.
