1 Pidgin and Finch: The Pimpin' Penguin IM Clients That're Good for the Soul
3 version 2.6.6 (??/??/2010):
6 * purple_xfer_cancel_local is now called instead of
7 purple_xfer_request_denied if an error is found when selecting
8 a file to send. Request denied is still used when a receive
9 request is not allowed.
12 * Corrected the package names for the PurpleProxyType and
13 PurpleLogReadFlags enums to have the correct number of colons
14 (from Purple::ProxyType::::<type> to Purple::ProxyType::<type>
15 and Purple::Log:ReadFlags::::<type> to
16 Purple::Log::ReadFlags::<type>) (Chris Foote)
18 version 2.6.5 (01/08/2010):
21 version 2.6.4 (11/29/2009):
24 version 2.6.3 (10/16/2009):
27 version 2.6.2 (09/05/2009):
30 * Purple::XMLNode::get_next(), which returns the next neighbor tag of
33 * Purple::XMLNode::get_child() will return the first child node if
34 passed "" or undef as the name of the node.
36 version 2.6.1 (08/18/2009):
39 version 2.6.0 (08/18/2009):
42 * PurpleMedia and PurpleMediaManager API
48 * Account signals (see account-signals.dox)
49 * account-actions-changed
52 * blist-node-added and blist-node-removed signals (see
54 * Three Blist UI ops used to overload libpurple's built-in saving
55 of the buddy list to blist.xml. If a UI implements these, it probably
56 wants to add the buddies itself and not call purple_blist_load.
57 * Three File Transfer UI ops used to overload libpurple's use of fread
58 and fwrite for saving a file locally. These allow a UI to stream a
59 file through a socket without buffering the file on the local disk.
60 * Jabber plugin signals (see jabber-signals.dox)
61 * purple_account_remove_setting
62 * purple_buddy_destroy
63 * purple_buddy_get_protocol_data
64 * purple_buddy_set_protocol_data

71 * purple_certificate_check_signature_chain_with_failing
73 * purple_connection_get_protocol_data
74 * purple_connection_set_protocol_data
75 * purple_contact_destroy

107 * purple_xfer_prpl_ready
108 * purple_xfer_ui_ready
111 * xmlnode_set_attrib_full
114 * xmlnode_remove_attrib now removes all attributes with the
115 same name. Previously, it would remove the first one found,
116 which was completely non-deterministic. If you want to remove
117 the attribute with no namespace, then use NULL with
118 xmlnode_remove_with_namespace.
119 * Plugins may now emit the jabber-sending-xmlnode signal in order
120 to send stanzas; this method is preferred to the prpl send_raw
121 function as other plugins listening to the signal see them.
122 * The conversation-updated signal with a PURPLE_CONV_UPDATE_TYPING
123 update type is emitted when receiving an IM. Previously, the
124 typing state was modified (and the buddy-typing-stopped signal
125 emitted), but this signal was not emitted.
126 * Added a client_type field in the get_ui_info core UI op. See
128 * Added introspection of signals exposed via the D-Bus API.
129 * purple_find_buddies is now more efficient in the case where
130 it is enumerating all the buddies for an account.
131 * purple_find_group is now more efficient for large numbers of groups.
132 * purple_find_conversation_with_account is more efficient for large
133 numbers of concurrent conversations.
134 * All DNS routines support internationalized domain names (IDNs) when
135 libpurple is compiled with GNU libidn.
136 * status is set before emitting signals in purple_xfer_set_status.
137 * Creating multiple distinct chats with the same name (i.e. "MSN Chat")
138 is deprecated and will be removed in libpurple 3.0.0.
139 * purple_xfer_start now accepts -1 as the fd parameter if the protocol
140 plugin will administer the transfer itself. 0 is still accepted for
141 backward compatibility since older versions of libpurple will not
145 * buddy-added and buddy-removed blist signals
146 * purple_blist_destroy
148 * purple_buddy_get_local_alias
149 * purple_certificate_check_signature_chain
150 * purple_ip_address_is_valid
151 * purple_notify_user_info_remove_entry
153 * purple_status_type_set_primary_attr
154 * purple_status_type_add_attr
155 * purple_status_type_add_attrs

165 * xmlnode_set_attrib_with_prefix
169 * gtk_imhtml_class_register_protocol
170 * gtk_imhtml_link_get_url, gtk_imhtml_link_get_text_tag,
171 gtk_imhtml_link_activate functions to process GtkIMHtmlLink
172 objects from GtkIMHtml protocol callbacks.
173 * gtk_imhtml_set_return_inserts_newline
174 * gtk_imhtml_set_populate_primary_clipboard
175 * pidgin_blist_set_theme

181 * pidgin_notify_pounce_add
182 * PidginBlistTheme, PidginBlistThemeLoader API
183 * PidginIconTheme, PidginStatusIconTheme, PidginIconThemeLoader
185 * pidgin_stock_id_from_status_primitive
186 * pidgin_stock_id_from_presence
190 * GntProgressBar and functions (Saleem Abdulrasool)
194 * Purple::XMLNode::get_name()
197 * Made a bunch of functions act more perl-like. Call the new()
198 functions as Class->new(...) instead of Class::new(...):
199 * Purple::Request::Fields::new
200 * Purple::Request::Field::new
201 * Purple::Request::Field::account_new
202 * Purple::Request::Field::bool_new
203 * Purple::Request::Field::choice_new
204 * Purple::Request::Field::int_new
205 * Purple::Request::Field::label_new
206 * Purple::Request::Field::list_new
207 * Purple::Request::Field::string_new
208 * Purple::Request::Field::group_new
209 * Make the XMLNode API more perl-like. Don't pass len
210 parameters and call them like:
213 * $xmlnode->to_formatted_str()
214 * Purple::XMLNode::from_str(...)
215 version 2.5.9 (08/18/2009):

224 version 2.5.6 (05/19/2009):
227 version 2.5.5 (03/01/2009):
230 * purple_status_type_new now defaults "saveable" to TRUE.
231 This was necessary in order to maintain the current behavior
232 while fixing non-saveable statuses not to be saved.
233 * xmlnode_get_prefix, xmlnode_to_str and xmlnode_to_formatted_str
234 now all take a const xmlnode* instead of an xmlnode*
236 version 2.5.4 (01/12/2009):
239 * Purple::PluginPref->get_bounds no longer takes two integer
240 arguments it now returns two integers.
243 * Removed a handful of string-related utility functions that
244 can generally be better handled with perl's built-in string
245 functions rather than using pidgin's:
246 * Purple::Util::strcasereplace
247 * Purple::Util::strcasestr
248 * Purple::Util::strreplace

313 * Purple::Prefs::get_children_names.
314 * Purple::timeout_remove.
316 * Purple::timeout_add now returns a handle which can be used
317 to remove the timeout.
318 * Callbacks to Purple::Util::fetch_url and the
319 Purple::Request::* functions can now be specified as both
320 strings (the name of the callback function) and as coderefs.
323 * Added gnt_bindable_check_key to check if a keystroke is bound.
325 version 2.4.0 (02/29/2008):
328 * purple_certificate_add_ca_search_path. (Florian Quèze)
329 * purple_gai_strerror.
330 * purple_major_version, purple_minor_version,
331 purple_micro_version variables are exported by version.h,
332 giving the version of libpurple in use at runtime.
333 * purple_util_set_current_song, purple_util_format_song_info
334 * purple_ip_address_is_valid

375 added utility functions pidgin_dialog_get_vbox_with_properties,
376 pidgin_dialog_get_vbox, pidgin_dialog_get_action_area to access the

378 * pidgin_dialog_add_button to add buttons to a dialog created by
379 pidgin_create_dialog.
380 * GTK_IMHTML_NO_SMILEY for GtkIMHtmlOptions means not to look for

382 * pidgin_auto_parent_window to make a window transient for a suitable
384 * pidgin_tooltip_setup_for_treeview, pidgin_tooltip_destroy,
385 pidgin_tooltip_show and pidgin_tooltip_setup_for_widget to simplify
386 the process of drawing tooltips.

414 * Added gnt_tree_get_parent_key to get the key for the parent row.
416 version 2.3.0 (11/24/2007):
419 * a PurpleConversation field and an alias field in PurpleConvMessage
420 * account-authorization signals (see account-signals.dox for
421 details) (Stefan Ott)
422 * libpurple/purple.h, which includes #define's and #include's
423 required to compile stand-alone plugins
424 * PURPLE_STATUS_TUNE as a new PurpleStatusPrimitive
425 * purple_plugin_disable(), which is intended to be called when
426 a purple_plugin_unload()--which was called when a user tried
427 to unload a plugin--fails. This then prevents the plugin
428 from being saved in the saved plugins list, so it'll won't
429 be loaded at the next startup.
430 * PurpleDisconnectReason enumeration of machine-readable
431 types of connection error.
432 * purple_connection_error_reason(), to be used by prpls
433 (instead of purple_connection_error() and setting
434 gc->wants_to_die) to report errors along with a
435 PurpleDisconnectReason.
436 * PurpleConnectionUiOps.report_disconnect_reason, to be
437 implemented by UIs (rather than .report_disconnect) if
438 they want to use the reported PurpleDisconnectReason
439 to give a more specific error.
440 * A connection-error signal, fired just after the UiOp is
441 called with the same information.
442 * purple_connection_reason_is_fatal(), acting as a hint
443 to whether automatic reconnection should be attempted
444 after a connection error (rather than checking
446 * PurpleConnectionErrorInfo, a struct to hold a
447 PurpleConnectionError and a const char *description.
448 * purple_account_get_current_error() to get the most recent
449 PurpleConnectionError and description (or NULL if the
450 account is happy with life), to allow bits of the UI to know
451 the last error without caching it themselves (as
452 PidginBuddyList does).
453 * purple_account_clear_current_error() to reset an account's
455 * An account-error-changed signal, firing when
456 purple_account_get_current_error()'s return value changes.
458 * PidginMiniDialog, a Gtk widget-ified version of
459 pidgin_make_mini_dialog().
462 * purple_util_uninit()
464 * purple_network_listen_map_external() to temporarily disable
465 mapping ports externally via NAT-PMP or UPnP.
468 * purple_plugin_unload() now honors the return value of a
469 plugin's unload function and can actually return FALSE now.
470 * purple_plugin_unload() no longer does its own notifications
471 when a dependent plugin fails to unload. The UI should do
472 something appropriate.
474 * pidgin_make_mini_dialog() now declares its return type to be
475 GtkWidget * rather than void *. This should not break any
476 existing code since any code using it must already rely on
477 the return type actually being GtkWidget * all along.
480 * pidgin_dialogs_about()
481 * pidgin_log_show_contact()
483 * pidgin_plugin_dialog_show()
484 * pidgin_pounce_editor_show()
485 * pidgin_pounces_manager_show()
486 * pidgin_syslog_show()
488 * purple_connection_error()
489 * pidgin_blist_update_account_error_state()
490 * PidginBuddyList.connection_errors
491 * purple_network_listen_map_external()
494 * A new independant status type with PURPLE_STATUS_TUNE primitive, and
495 PURPLE_TUNE_ARTIST, PURPLE_TUNE_ALBUM and PURPLE_TUNE_TITLE
499 * A new independant status type with PURPLE_STATUS_TUNE primitive, and
500 PURPLE_TUNE_{ARTIST, TITLE, ALBUM, GENRE, COMMENT, TRACK, TIME,
501 YEAR, URL} attributes.
505 * Added gnt_color_pair, which will try to intelligenty set text
506 attributes in place of colors if the terminal doesn't have color
507 support. (Bug: #3560) All future code should use gnt_color_pair
508 instead of COLOR_PAIR.
509 * Added gnt_menuitem_set_id and gnt_menuitem_get_id to set and get the
510 string id of a menuitem respectively.
511 * Added gnt_window_get_accel_item, which returns a the id of a menuitem
512 bound to a keystroke.
513 * Added gnt_menu_get_item to get a menuitem of the given id from a
515 * Added gnt_menuitem_activate, which triggers the 'activate' signal on
516 the menuitem and calls the callback function, if available.
517 * Added GntEntryKillRing in GntEntry.
518 * Added gnt_window_set_maximize and gnt_window_get_maximize, and
521 version 2.2.2 (??/??/????):
524 * The size parameter of purple_util_write_data_to_file_absolute
525 has been changed to gssize instead of a size_t to correctly
526 indicate that -1 can be used for a nul-delimited string.
527 * The documentation for purple_savedstatuses_get_popular used to
528 incorrectly claim that the active status is excluded from the
529 returned list. The documentation has been corrected. Also, the
530 function now returns a correct list when called with a value of 0.
532 version 2.2.0 (09/13/2007):
535 * PURPLE_MESSAGE_INVISIBLE flag, which can be used by
536 purple_conv_im_send_with_flags to send a message, but not display it
538 * serv_send_attention(), serv_got_attention(), as well as send_attention
539 and attention_types in PurplePluginProtocolInfo. This new API is used
540 for zapping in MySpaceIM, buzzing in Yahoo, and nudging in MSN.
541 * PurpleConvMessage structure to represent a message in a
542 conversation. purple_conversation_message_get_sender,
543 purple_conversation_message_get_message,
544 purple_conversation_message_get_flags and
545 purple_conversation_message_get_timestamp to get information about a
547 * purple_conversation_get_message_history() to retrieve a list of
548 PurpleConvMessage's in a conversation, and
549 purple_conversation_clear_message_history to clear the history.
550 * purple_certificate_* functions in libpurple/certificate.h - "A public-key certificate API"
551 * purple_ssl_get_peer_certificates() and associated field in PurpleSslOps to retrieve a server's presented SSL certificate chain.
552 * PurpleSslConnection::verifier to provide a "how to verify the peer's certificates" callback to the SSL handlers. See certificate.h for more on this.
553 * 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.
556 * purple_prefs_load is now called within purple_prefs_init.
557 The UI no longer needs to call it.
558 * writing-im-msg now receives the conversation name as the who
559 argument if the caller of purple_conversation_write didn't
560 provide a value for who.
564 * pidgin_set_accessible_relations, sets up label-for and labelled-by
565 ATK relations (broken out from pidgin_set_accessible_label)
566 * pidgin_conv_attach_to_conversation, to reattach the Pidgin UI to a
568 * conversation-hiding and conversation-displayed signals.
569 * pidgin_text_combo_box_entry_new, pidgin_text_combo_box_entry_get_text
570 and pidgin_text_combo_box_entry_set_text
573 * pidgin_conversations_fill_menu now also adds a separator and a 'Show
574 All' item if there are more than one conversations in the list.
578 * finch_sound_is_enabled
579 * The reserved field in the FinchConv is now used to store information
580 about the conversation (using FinchConversationFlag)
581 * finch_account_dialog_show
584 * gnt_slider_set_small_step, gnt_slider_set_large_step to allow more
585 fine tuned updates of a GntSlider
586 * gnt_util_parse_xhtml_to_textview to parse XHTML strings in a
587 GntTextView (this works only if libxml2 is available)
589 version 2.1.1 (08/20/2007):
592 * PurpleAccountUiOps.request_authorize's authorize_cb and
593 deny_cb parameters now correctly have type
594 PurpleAccountRequestAuthorizationCb rather than GCallback.
595 (You'll want to change your UI's implementation's signature
596 to avoid warnings, and then remove some now-redundant casts
597 back to the proper type.)

613 * purple_conversation_do_command
614 * purple_conversation_get_extended_menu

1134 conversation pointer and a pointer to the flags.
1135 * "writing-im-msg", "wrote-im-msg", "writing-chat-msg", "wrote-chat-msg":
1136 Now emitted from a difference place in the message handling code.
1137 The arguments also changed.
1138 * "displaying-im-msg", "displayed-im-msg", "displaying-chat-msg",
1139 "displayed-chat-msg": Added "who" argument, which changes the order
1140 of the existing arguments.

1208 as the functions in the blist API that modify the buddy
1209 list will normally call it for you.

1253 loadable on a copy of Gaim compiled without binreloc
1254 support. In particular, watch out for the autoconf-like
