1 Pidgin and Finch: The Pimpin' Penguin IM Clients That're Good for the Soul
3 version 2.7.4 (MM/DD/YYYY):
5 version 2.7.3 (08/10/2010):
8 * purple_account_[gs]et_public_alias no longer crash when
9 called for a protocol that doesn't support the underlying
10 calls and the caller does not specify a failure callback.
14 * Exposed log-subsystem signals.
18 * Changing the visibility (gtk_widget_hide/show) of
19 the widgets in the GtkIMHtmlToolbar should now affect
20 the visibility of the entries in the 'lean' view
21 (the default toolbar view).
28 * gnt_tree_row_get_key, gnt_tree_row_get_next,
29 gnt_tree_row_get_prev, gnt_tree_row_get_child and
30 gnt_tree_row_get_parent.
32 version 2.7.2 (07/21/2010):
35 version 2.7.1 (05/29/2010):
38 version 2.7.0 (05/12/2010):
41 * Account signals (see account-signals.dox); useful for D-Bus
44 * account-connection-error
45 * purple_account_get_name_for_display
46 * purple_account_get_privacy_type
47 * purple_account_get_public_alias
48 * purple_account_set_privacy_type
49 * purple_account_set_public_alias
50 * buddy-caps-changed blist signal
51 * Added media_caps to the PurpleBuddy struct
52 * purple_buddy_get_media_caps
53 * purple_buddy_set_media_caps
54 * purple_certificates_import for importing multiple
55 certificates from a single file (and corresponding
56 import_certificates member of PurpleCertificateScheme struct)
57 * autojoin connection signal
58 * purple_contact_get_group
59 * sent-attention conversation signal
60 * got-attention conversation signal
61 * ui-caps-changed media manager signal
62 * purple_media_candidate_copy
63 * purple_media_codec_copy
64 * purple_media_manager_get_backend_type
65 * purple_media_manager_set_backend_type
66 * PurpleMood struct in status.h
67 * purple_network_get_all_local_system_ips, which returns all
68 local IPs on the system. On systems with the getifaddrs()
69 function, this will return both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses
70 (excluding link-local and loopback addresses). On others,
71 it returns just IPv4 addresses.
72 * purple_network_listen_family and
73 purple_network_listen_range_family. These will replace the
74 versions without _family in 3.0.0 and allow the caller to
75 specifically request either an IPv4 or IPv6 socket. IPv6 is
76 only supported if the getaddrinfo() function is available
77 at build-time (not the case on Windows, currently).
78 * purple_prpl_got_media_caps
79 * purple_request_action_with_icon
80 * purple_request_action_with_icon_varg
81 * purple_socket_get_family
82 * purple_socket_speaks_ipv4
83 * purple_unescape_text
85 * purple_xfer_get_thumbnail
86 * purple_xfer_get_thumbnail_mimetype
87 * purple_xfer_set_thumbnail
88 * purple_xfer_prepare_thumbnail
92 * pidgin_dialogs_buildinfo (should not be used by anything but Pidgin)
93 * pidgin_dialogs_developers (should not be used by anything but Pidgin)
94 * pidgin_dialogs_translators (should not be used by anything but Pidgin)
95 * gtk_imhtmltoolbar_switch_active_conversation
96 * 'paste' signal for GtkIMHtml (more in gtkimhtml-signals.dox)
97 * 'drawing-buddy' signal for gtkblist (more in gtkblist-signals.dox)
99 version 2.6.6 (02/18/2010):
102 * purple_xfer_cancel_local is now called instead of
103 purple_xfer_request_denied if an error is found when selecting
104 a file to send. Request denied is still used when a receive
105 request is not allowed.
106 * xmlnode_from_str now properly handles parsing an attribute which
107 contain "<br>", which were previously transformed into a
108 newline character (libxml2 unescapes all entities except
109 representations of '&', and libpurple's purple_unescape_html
110 converts "<br>" to a newline).
114 * Corrected the package names for the PurpleProxyType and
115 PurpleLogReadFlags enums to have the correct number of colons
116 (from Purple::ProxyType::::<type> to Purple::ProxyType::<type>
117 and Purple::Log:ReadFlags::::<type> to
118 Purple::Log::ReadFlags::<type>) (Chris Foote)
120 version 2.6.5 (01/08/2010):
123 version 2.6.4 (11/29/2009):
126 version 2.6.3 (10/16/2009):
129 version 2.6.2 (09/05/2009):
132 * Purple::XMLNode::get_next(), which returns the next neighbor tag of
135 * Purple::XMLNode::get_child() will return the first child node if
136 passed "" or undef as the name of the node.
138 version 2.6.1 (08/18/2009):
141 version 2.6.0 (08/18/2009):
144 * PurpleMedia and PurpleMediaManager API
150 * Account signals (see account-signals.dox)
151 * account-actions-changed
154 * blist-node-added and blist-node-removed signals (see
156 * Three Blist UI ops used to overload libpurple's built-in saving
157 of the buddy list to blist.xml. If a UI implements these, it probably
158 wants to add the buddies itself and not call purple_blist_load.
159 * Three File Transfer UI ops used to overload libpurple's use of fread
160 and fwrite for saving a file locally. These allow a UI to stream a
161 file through a socket without buffering the file on the local disk.
162 * Jabber plugin signals (see jabber-signals.dox)
163 * purple_account_remove_setting
164 * purple_buddy_destroy
165 * purple_buddy_get_protocol_data
166 * purple_buddy_set_protocol_data

175 * purple_connection_get_protocol_data
176 * purple_connection_set_protocol_data
177 * purple_contact_destroy
178 * purple_conv_chat_invite_user
179 * purple_debug_is_unsafe
180 * purple_debug_is_verbose
181 * purple_debug_set_unsafe
182 * purple_debug_set_verbose
183 * purple_global_proxy_set_info
184 * purple_group_destroy
185 * purple_ipv4_address_is_valid
186 * purple_ipv6_address_is_valid
187 * purple_log_get_activity_score

207 * purple_utf8_strip_unprintables
208 * purple_util_fetch_url_request_len_with_account
209 * purple_xfer_prpl_ready
210 * purple_xfer_ui_ready
213 * xmlnode_set_attrib_full
214 * PURPLE_STATUS_MOOD as a new PurpleStatusPrimitive
217 * xmlnode_remove_attrib now removes all attributes with the
218 same name. Previously, it would remove the first one found,
219 which was completely non-deterministic. If you want to remove
220 the attribute with no namespace, then use NULL with
221 xmlnode_remove_with_namespace.
222 * Plugins may now emit the jabber-sending-xmlnode signal in order
223 to send stanzas; this method is preferred to the prpl send_raw
224 function as other plugins listening to the signal see them.
225 * The conversation-updated signal with a PURPLE_CONV_UPDATE_TYPING
226 update type is emitted when receiving an IM. Previously, the
227 typing state was modified (and the buddy-typing-stopped signal
228 emitted), but this signal was not emitted.
229 * Added a client_type field in the get_ui_info core UI op. See
231 * Added introspection of signals exposed via the D-Bus API.
232 * purple_find_buddies is now more efficient in the case where
233 it is enumerating all the buddies for an account.
234 * purple_find_group is now more efficient for large numbers of groups.
235 * purple_find_conversation_with_account is more efficient for large
236 numbers of concurrent conversations.
237 * All DNS routines support internationalized domain names (IDNs) when
238 libpurple is compiled with GNU libidn.
239 * status is set before emitting signals in purple_xfer_set_status.
240 * Creating multiple distinct chats with the same name (i.e. "MSN Chat")
241 is deprecated and will be removed in libpurple 3.0.0.
242 * purple_xfer_start now accepts -1 as the fd parameter if the protocol
243 plugin will administer the transfer itself. 0 is still accepted for
244 backward compatibility since older versions of libpurple will not
248 * buddy-added and buddy-removed blist signals
249 * purple_blist_destroy
251 * purple_buddy_get_local_alias
252 * purple_certificate_check_signature_chain

277 * gtk_imhtml_set_populate_primary_clipboard
278 * pidgin_blist_set_theme
279 * pidgin_blist_get_theme

284 * pidgin_notify_pounce_add
285 * PidginBlistTheme, PidginBlistThemeLoader API
286 * PidginIconTheme, PidginStatusIconTheme, PidginIconThemeLoader
288 * pidgin_stock_id_from_status_primitive
289 * pidgin_stock_id_from_presence
293 * GntProgressBar and functions (Saleem Abdulrasool)
297 * Purple::XMLNode::get_name()
300 * Made a bunch of functions act more perl-like. Call the new()
301 functions as Class->new(...) instead of Class::new(...):
302 * Purple::Request::Fields::new
303 * Purple::Request::Field::new
304 * Purple::Request::Field::account_new
305 * Purple::Request::Field::bool_new
306 * Purple::Request::Field::choice_new

308 * Purple::Request::Field::label_new
309 * Purple::Request::Field::list_new
310 * Purple::Request::Field::string_new
311 * Purple::Request::Field::group_new
312 * Make the XMLNode API more perl-like. Don't pass len
313 parameters and call them like:
316 * $xmlnode->to_formatted_str()
317 * Purple::XMLNode::from_str(...)

330 version 2.5.5 (03/01/2009):
333 * purple_status_type_new now defaults "saveable" to TRUE.
334 This was necessary in order to maintain the current behavior
335 while fixing non-saveable statuses not to be saved.
336 * xmlnode_get_prefix, xmlnode_to_str and xmlnode_to_formatted_str
337 now all take a const xmlnode* instead of an xmlnode*

342 * Purple::PluginPref->get_bounds no longer takes two integer
343 arguments it now returns two integers.
346 * Removed a handful of string-related utility functions that
347 can generally be better handled with perl's built-in string

365 that the connection supports sending and receiving custom smileys.
366 * PurpleSmiley and the Smiley API.
367 * purple_serv_got_join_chat_failed
368 * chat-join-failed signal (see conversation-signals.dox)

404 * gtk_imhtml_smiley_create, gtk_imhtml_smiley_reload and
405 gtk_imhtml_smiley_destroy to deal with GtkIMHtmlSmiley's.
406 * pidgin_pixbuf_from_imgstore to create a GdkPixbuf from a
408 * pidgin_themes_smiley_themeize_custom to associate custom smileys to
410 * GTK_IMHTML_CUSTOM_SMILEY flag for GtkIMHtml.

417 * Purple::timeout_remove.
419 * Purple::timeout_add now returns a handle which can be used
420 to remove the timeout.

428 version 2.4.0 (02/29/2008):
431 * purple_certificate_add_ca_search_path. (Florian Quèze)
432 * purple_gai_strerror.
433 * purple_major_version, purple_minor_version,
434 purple_micro_version variables are exported by version.h,
435 giving the version of libpurple in use at runtime.
436 * purple_util_set_current_song, purple_util_format_song_info
437 * purple_ip_address_is_valid
438 * Some accessor functions to the Roomlist API:

515 * Added gnt_style_get_color to get a color pair from an entry in
517 * Added gnt_tree_get_parent_key to get the key for the parent row.
519 version 2.3.0 (11/24/2007):
522 * a PurpleConversation field and an alias field in PurpleConvMessage
523 * account-authorization signals (see account-signals.dox for
524 details) (Stefan Ott)
525 * libpurple/purple.h, which includes #define's and #include's
526 required to compile stand-alone plugins
527 * PURPLE_STATUS_TUNE as a new PurpleStatusPrimitive
528 * purple_plugin_disable(), which is intended to be called when
529 a purple_plugin_unload()--which was called when a user tried
530 to unload a plugin--fails. This then prevents the plugin
531 from being saved in the saved plugins list, so it'll won't
532 be loaded at the next startup.
533 * PurpleDisconnectReason enumeration of machine-readable
534 types of connection error.
535 * purple_connection_error_reason(), to be used by prpls
536 (instead of purple_connection_error() and setting
537 gc->wants_to_die) to report errors along with a
538 PurpleDisconnectReason.
539 * PurpleConnectionUiOps.report_disconnect_reason, to be
540 implemented by UIs (rather than .report_disconnect) if
541 they want to use the reported PurpleDisconnectReason
542 to give a more specific error.
543 * A connection-error signal, fired just after the UiOp is
544 called with the same information.
545 * purple_connection_reason_is_fatal(), acting as a hint
546 to whether automatic reconnection should be attempted
547 after a connection error (rather than checking
549 * PurpleConnectionErrorInfo, a struct to hold a
550 PurpleConnectionError and a const char *description.
551 * purple_account_get_current_error() to get the most recent
552 PurpleConnectionError and description (or NULL if the
553 account is happy with life), to allow bits of the UI to know
554 the last error without caching it themselves (as
555 PidginBuddyList does).
556 * purple_account_clear_current_error() to reset an account's
558 * An account-error-changed signal, firing when
559 purple_account_get_current_error()'s return value changes.
561 * PidginMiniDialog, a Gtk widget-ified version of
562 pidgin_make_mini_dialog().
565 * purple_util_uninit()
567 * purple_network_listen_map_external() to temporarily disable
568 mapping ports externally via NAT-PMP or UPnP.
571 * purple_plugin_unload() now honors the return value of a
572 plugin's unload function and can actually return FALSE now.
573 * purple_plugin_unload() no longer does its own notifications
574 when a dependent plugin fails to unload. The UI should do
575 something appropriate.
577 * pidgin_make_mini_dialog() now declares its return type to be
578 GtkWidget * rather than void *. This should not break any
579 existing code since any code using it must already rely on
580 the return type actually being GtkWidget * all along.
583 * pidgin_dialogs_about()
584 * pidgin_log_show_contact()
586 * pidgin_plugin_dialog_show()
587 * pidgin_pounce_editor_show()
588 * pidgin_pounces_manager_show()
589 * pidgin_syslog_show()
591 * purple_connection_error()
592 * pidgin_blist_update_account_error_state()
593 * PidginBuddyList.connection_errors
594 * purple_network_listen_map_external()
597 * A new independant status type with PURPLE_STATUS_TUNE primitive, and
598 PURPLE_TUNE_ARTIST, PURPLE_TUNE_ALBUM and PURPLE_TUNE_TITLE
602 * A new independant status type with PURPLE_STATUS_TUNE primitive, and
603 PURPLE_TUNE_{ARTIST, TITLE, ALBUM, GENRE, COMMENT, TRACK, TIME,
604 YEAR, URL} attributes.
608 * Added gnt_color_pair, which will try to intelligenty set text
609 attributes in place of colors if the terminal doesn't have color
610 support. (Bug: #3560) All future code should use gnt_color_pair
611 instead of COLOR_PAIR.
612 * Added gnt_menuitem_set_id and gnt_menuitem_get_id to set and get the
613 string id of a menuitem respectively.
614 * Added gnt_window_get_accel_item, which returns a the id of a menuitem
615 bound to a keystroke.
616 * Added gnt_menu_get_item to get a menuitem of the given id from a
618 * Added gnt_menuitem_activate, which triggers the 'activate' signal on
619 the menuitem and calls the callback function, if available.
620 * Added GntEntryKillRing in GntEntry.
621 * Added gnt_window_set_maximize and gnt_window_get_maximize, and
624 version 2.2.2 (??/??/????):
627 * The size parameter of purple_util_write_data_to_file_absolute
628 has been changed to gssize instead of a size_t to correctly
629 indicate that -1 can be used for a nul-delimited string.
630 * The documentation for purple_savedstatuses_get_popular used to
631 incorrectly claim that the active status is excluded from the
632 returned list. The documentation has been corrected. Also, the
633 function now returns a correct list when called with a value of 0.
635 version 2.2.0 (09/13/2007):
638 * PURPLE_MESSAGE_INVISIBLE flag, which can be used by
639 purple_conv_im_send_with_flags to send a message, but not display it
641 * serv_send_attention(), serv_got_attention(), as well as send_attention
642 and attention_types in PurplePluginProtocolInfo. This new API is used
643 for zapping in MySpaceIM, buzzing in Yahoo, and nudging in MSN.
644 * PurpleConvMessage structure to represent a message in a
645 conversation. purple_conversation_message_get_sender,
646 purple_conversation_message_get_message,
647 purple_conversation_message_get_flags and
648 purple_conversation_message_get_timestamp to get information about a
650 * purple_conversation_get_message_history() to retrieve a list of
651 PurpleConvMessage's in a conversation, and
652 purple_conversation_clear_message_history to clear the history.
653 * purple_certificate_* functions in libpurple/certificate.h - "A public-key certificate API"
654 * purple_ssl_get_peer_certificates() and associated field in PurpleSslOps to retrieve a server's presented SSL certificate chain.
655 * PurpleSslConnection::verifier to provide a "how to verify the peer's certificates" callback to the SSL handlers. See certificate.h for more on this.
656 * purple_ssl_connect_with_host_fd() to create an SSL connection from a file descriptor and provide a hostname with it to authenticate the peer against.
659 * purple_prefs_load is now called within purple_prefs_init.
660 The UI no longer needs to call it.
661 * writing-im-msg now receives the conversation name as the who
662 argument if the caller of purple_conversation_write didn't
663 provide a value for who.
667 * pidgin_set_accessible_relations, sets up label-for and labelled-by
668 ATK relations (broken out from pidgin_set_accessible_label)
669 * pidgin_conv_attach_to_conversation, to reattach the Pidgin UI to a
671 * conversation-hiding and conversation-displayed signals.
672 * pidgin_text_combo_box_entry_new, pidgin_text_combo_box_entry_get_text
673 and pidgin_text_combo_box_entry_set_text
676 * pidgin_conversations_fill_menu now also adds a separator and a 'Show
677 All' item if there are more than one conversations in the list.
681 * finch_sound_is_enabled
682 * The reserved field in the FinchConv is now used to store information
683 about the conversation (using FinchConversationFlag)
684 * finch_account_dialog_show
687 * gnt_slider_set_small_step, gnt_slider_set_large_step to allow more
688 fine tuned updates of a GntSlider
689 * gnt_util_parse_xhtml_to_textview to parse XHTML strings in a
690 GntTextView (this works only if libxml2 is available)
692 version 2.1.1 (08/20/2007):
695 * PurpleAccountUiOps.request_authorize's authorize_cb and
696 deny_cb parameters now correctly have type
697 PurpleAccountRequestAuthorizationCb rather than GCallback.
698 (You'll want to change your UI's implementation's signature
699 to avoid warnings, and then remove some now-redundant casts
700 back to the proper type.)
702 version 2.1.0 (7/28/2007):
705 * purple-remote: added getstatus command
706 * conversation-extended-menu signal (See Doxygen docs)
707 * OPT_PROTO_SLASH_COMMANDS_NATIVE protocol option to indicate that
708 slash commands are "native" to the protocol
709 * PURPLE_MESSAGE_NO_LINKIFY message flag to indicate that the message
710 should not be auto-linkified
711 * PurpleEventLoopUiOps.timeout_add_seconds
712 UIs can now use better scheduling for whole-second timers. For
713 example, clients based on the glib event loop can now use
714 g_timeout_add_seconds.
715 * purple_blist_node_get_type
716 * purple_conversation_do_command
717 * purple_conversation_get_extended_menu
718 * purple_core_ensure_single_instance
719 This is for UIs to use to ensure only one copy is running.
720 * purple_dbus_is_owner
721 * purple_timeout_add_seconds
722 Callers should prefer this to purple_timeout_add for timers
723 longer than 1 second away. Be aware of the rounding, though.
724 * purple_xfer_get_remote_user
725 * purple_pounces_get_all_for_ui
726 * purple_prefs_get_children_names
727 * added displaying-email-notification and
728 displaying-emails-notification signals

733 freed, which was always the case:
734 * purple_accounts_get_all
735 * purple_connections_get_all
736 * purple_connections_get_connecting

754 * purple_presence_get_statuses
755 * purple_request_field_list_set_selected now takes a GList*
756 instead of a const GList* for items, as const is not very
757 useful with GLists. The passed list is still not modified
759 * purple_presence_add_list now takes a GList* instead of a
760 const GList* for source_list, as const is not very useful with
761 GLists. The passed list is still not modified or freed.

816 GList*, as const is not very useful with GLists. The
817 returned value still must not be modified or freed.
818 * Instead of keeping an 'invisible' item, the GntTreeColumns now
819 maintain 'flags' with the appropriate flags set
821 version 2.0.2 (6/14/2007):
824 * pidgin_dialogs_alias_contact: This will be removed in 3.0.0
825 unless there is sufficient demand to keep it.

829 re-namespaced to match the new names of Pidgin, Finch, and libpurple.
830 All gaim_gtk_* functions are now pidgin_*, former libgaim functions are
831 now purple_*. Please consult our doxygen documentation for a complete
834 The gaim-compat.h header exists to provide an API compatibility layer

955 to a GaimProxyConnectInfo object which can be used to cancel
956 connection attempts using gaim_proxy_connect_cancel(). Also added

983 for the user information
984 * gaim_buddy_icon_get_scale_size() and was changed to ALWAYS scale
985 the icon instead of only when icon_spec->scale_rules contains
986 GAIM_ICON_SCALE_DISPLAY. Callers should be changed to check the
987 scale_rules before calling this function.

993 purple_request_action_varg(), purple_request_fields(),
994 purple_request_yes_no(), purple_request_ok_cancel(),
995 purple_request_accept_cancel(), purple_request_file(), and
996 purple_request_folder() was changed to accept account, who, and
997 conversation parameters for associating the request with an account, a
998 buddy, or a conversation.
999 * Significant changes to the buddy icon and imgstore APIs. If you
