28 * The pager server will automatically update to scsa.msg.yahoo.com if the
29 user empties the field or if it is scs.msg.yahoo.com. This should ease

47 * Improve sleep behavior by aggregation of longer timeouts on second
48 boundaries to allow better power saving. (Arunan Balasubramaniam)
49 * Fix various crashes on exit.
50 * Make XML parsing more resilient to interactions with other libraries.

113 update attempts from trampling each other.
114 * Fixed a crash on Windows when removing a buddy's alias.

124 longer receive an ADL 241 error. The problematic buddy should now
125 appear on the buddy list and can be removed or unblocked as desired.

188 function is called before the buddy list is initialized.
190 * Fix use of av_len in perl bindings to fix some off-by-one bugs
192 * On ICQ, advertise the ICQ 6 typing capability. This should fix
193 the reports of typing notifications not working with third-party
194 clients. (Jaromír Karmazín)
195 * Many QQ fixes and improvements, including the ability to connect
196 using QQ2008 protocol and sending/receiving of long messages.

211 using --with-system-ssl-certs because most systems don't ship
212 those intermediate certificates.

249 * Resources can be set to the local machine's hostname by using
250 __HOSTNAME__ as the resource string. (Jonathan Sailor)
251 * Resources can now be left blank, causing the server to generate a
252 resource for us where supported. (Jonathan Sailor)

254 server refuses to provide a resource.
255 * Quit trying to get user info for MUC's. (Paul Aurich)
256 * Send "client-accepts-full-bind-result" attribute during SASL

278 * On GTK+ 2.14 and higher, we're using the gtk-tooltip-delay setting
279 instead of our own (hidden) tooltip_delay pref. If you had
280 previously changed that pref, add a line like this to
281 ~/.purple/gtkrc-2.0 (where 500 is the timeout (in ms) you want):
282 gtk-tooltip-timeout = 500
283 To completely disable tooltips (e.g. if you had an old

328 (e.g. xterm-color, screen-linux etc.)

344 being disconnected from the server periodically.
346 version 2.5.1 (08/30/2008):

371 Marcus Lundblad, Jorge Villaseñor and other contributors)
372 * Add a configure option, --with-system-ssl-certs to allow packagers
373 to specify a system-wide SSL CA certificates directory. When set,
374 we don't install our SSL CA certs, so it's important that the

487 the conversation window.

501 --enable-xxx option is used and the dependencies it requires are
503 * The Evolution integration plugin must now be explicitly enabled. Use

556 * Fixed various problems with loss of status messages when going
557 or returning from idle on MySpaceIM.

583 * Fixed having multiple alias edit areas in the infopane (Elliott Sales
585 * Save the conversation "Enable Logging" option per-contact (Moos
587 * Typing notifications are now shown in the conversation area

592 file in the man page for details.
593 * The default keybinding for dump-screen is now M-D and uses a file
594 request dialog. M-d will properly delete-forward-word, and M-f has been
595 fixed to imitate readline's behavior.
596 * New bindings alt+tab and alt+shift+tab to help navigating between the
597 higlighted windows (details on the man page).

633 have been fixed until this release (2.3.0).
636 * Real usernames are now shown in the system log.
637 * We now honor a PURPLE_DISABLE_DEPRECATED define to allow plugins to
638 catch deprecated functions earlier rather than later.
639 * Thanks to a patch from Intel, the Bonjour prpl now supports file
640 transfers using XEP-0096 and XEP-0065. This should enable file
641 transfers between libpurple clients and Gajim clients, but will not
642 work with iChat or Adium as they use a different file transfer
644 * XMPP password changes that return errors no longer cause the saved
645 password to be changed.
646 * XMPP file transfer support has been enhanced to support sending
647 files through a proxy when the server supports discovering a

650 a proxy when the server doesn't advertise one.
653 * If a plugin says it can't be unloaded, we now display an error and
654 remove the plugin from the list of saved plugins so it won't load

658 help window managers do the right thing (Gabriel Schulhof)
659 * Connection errors are now reported in mini-dialogs inside the buddy

661 boxes. If several accounts are disabled when you sign on elsewhere,
662 you can now re-enable them all with a single click.
663 * Added tooltips to the Room List window to show full topics
664 * Added buttons in preferences to access GNOME network and browser
665 preferences configuration dialogs when running under GNOME
666 * If you alias a buddy to an alias that is already present within
667 a particular group, we now offer to merge the buddies into the
669 * A music emblem is now displayed in the buddy list for a buddy if we
670 know she is listening to some soothing music.

672 to other groups as an alternative to dragging.
673 * Group headings are now marked via an underline instead of a
674 different color background.
675 * It is now possible to mark a chat on your buddy list as "Persistent"
676 so you do not leave the chat when the window or tab is closed.
677 * The auto-join option for chats is now listed in the "Add Chat"
678 dialog along with the new persistence option.
679 * Closing an IM no longer immediately closes your conversation. It
680 will now remain active for a short time so that if the conversation
681 resumes, the history will be retained. A preference has been added
682 to toggle this behavior.
683 * The "Smiley" menu has been moved to the top-level of the toolbar.
684 * Pidgin's display is now saved with the command line for session
685 restoration. (David Mohr)

688 in addition to the Tool menu of the buddy list.

690 with current functionality.
693 * If a plugin says it can't be unloaded, we now display an error and
694 remove the plugin from the list of saved plugins so it won't load
695 at the next startup. Previously, we were ignoring this case, which
696 could lead to crashes.
697 * It's possible to bind key-strokes to specific menuitems in the windows.
698 Read the 'Menus' section in the man-page for details.
699 * 'transpose-chars' operation for the entry boxes. The default key-binding
701 * 'yank' operation for the entry boxes. The default binding is ctrl+y.

707 until the next release.
709 * Various bug and memory leak fixes
710 * Look for a default prefs.xml in the CSIDL_COMMON_APPDATA directory
711 (e.g. c:\Documents and Settings\All Users\
712 Application Data\purple\prefs.xml) on Windows, similarly to
713 how this is done on other platforms.
715 version 2.2.1 (09/29/2007):
716 http://developer.pidgin.im/query?status=closed&milestone=2.2.1
