1 Pidgin and Finch: The Pimpin' Penguin IM Clients That're Good for the Soul
3 This file intends to list all changes to libpurple, Pidgin, and Finch's public
4 API. We sometimes forget to add changes to this file--sorry.
6 If your plugin fails to build with a new major version (e.g. 3.0.0) we
7 suggest checking this list first, in case a function was simply renamed.
8 You may still need to consult our API docs or our source code.
10 If you notice something missing from this list, please let us know and we'll
11 add it.

751 version 2.7.11 (03/10/2011):
752         * libpurple:
753                 Added:
754                 * Four entries in the GHashTable passed when joining
755                   an XMPP chat room which allow the UI to request a limited
756                   amount of history.  See XEP-0045 7.1.16 for details; the
757                   entries are named history_maxchars, history_maxstanzas,
758                   history_seconds, and history_since.  history_since must be
759                   interpretable by purple_str_to_time, and the prpl takes care
760                   of formatting the time properly.

792                   to Rafael in devel@conference.pidgin.im for reporting and
793                   testing.
795 version 2.7.3 (08/10/2010):
796         libpurple:
797                 Fixed:
798                 * purple_account_[gs]et_public_alias no longer crash when
799                   called for a protocol that doesn't support the underlying
800                   calls and the caller does not specify a failure callback.
802         Perl:
803                 Added:
804                 * Exposed log-subsystem signals.
806         Pidgin:
807                 Changed:
808                 * Changing the visibility (gtk_widget_hide/show) of
809                   the widgets in the GtkIMHtmlToolbar should now affect
810                   the visibility of the entries in the 'lean' view

856                 * PurpleMood struct in status.h
857                 * purple_network_get_all_local_system_ips, which returns all
858                   local IPs on the system.  On systems with the getifaddrs()
859                   function, this will return both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses
860                   (excluding link-local and loopback addresses).  On others,
861                   it returns just IPv4 addresses.
862                 * purple_network_listen_family and
863                   purple_network_listen_range_family.  These will replace the
864                   versions without _family in 3.0.0 and allow the caller to
865                   specifically request either an IPv4 or IPv6 socket.  IPv6 is
866                   only supported if the getaddrinfo() function is available
867                   at build-time (not the case on Windows, currently).

889 version 2.6.6 (02/18/2010):
890         libpurple:
891                 Changed:
892                 * purple_xfer_cancel_local is now called instead of
893                   purple_xfer_request_denied if an error is found when selecting
894                   a file to send. Request denied is still used when a receive
895                   request is not allowed.
896                 * xmlnode_from_str now properly handles parsing an attribute which
897                   contain "<br>", which were previously transformed into a
898                   newline character (libxml2 unescapes all entities except
899                   representations of '&', and libpurple's purple_unescape_html
900                   converts "<br>" to a newline).
902         Perl:
903                 Changed:
904                 * Corrected the package names for the PurpleProxyType and
905                   PurpleLogReadFlags enums to have the correct number of colons
906                   (from Purple::ProxyType::::<type> to Purple::ProxyType::<type>

919 version 2.6.2 (09/05/2009):
920         Perl:
921                 Added:
922                 * Purple::XMLNode::get_next(), which returns the next neighbor tag of
923                   the current node.
924                 Changed:
925                 * Purple::XMLNode::get_child() will return the first child node if
926                   passed "" or undef as the name of the node.
928 version 2.6.1 (08/18/2009):
929         No changes
931 version 2.6.0 (08/18/2009):
932         libpurple:

937                 * PURPLE_CONTACT

944                 * blist-node-added and blist-node-removed signals (see
945                   blist-signals.dox)
946                 * Three Blist UI ops used to overload libpurple's built-in saving
947                   of the buddy list to blist.xml. If a UI implements these, it probably
948                   wants to add the buddies itself and not call purple_blist_load.
949                 * Three File Transfer UI ops used to overload libpurple's use of fread
950                   and fwrite for saving a file locally. These allow a UI to stream a
951                   file through a socket without buffering the file on the local disk.

1003                 * xmlnode_set_attrib_full
1004                 * PURPLE_STATUS_MOOD as a new PurpleStatusPrimitive
1006                 Changed:
1007                 * xmlnode_remove_attrib now removes all attributes with the
1008                   same name.  Previously, it would remove the first one found,
1009                   which was completely non-deterministic.  If you want to remove
1010                   the attribute with no namespace, then use NULL with
1011                   xmlnode_remove_with_namespace.
1012                 * Plugins may now emit the jabber-sending-xmlnode signal in order
1013                   to send stanzas; this method is preferred to the prpl send_raw
1014                   function as other plugins listening to the signal see them.
1015                 * The conversation-updated signal with a PURPLE_CONV_UPDATE_TYPING
1016                   update type is emitted when receiving an IM.  Previously, the
1017                   typing state was modified (and the buddy-typing-stopped signal
1018                   emitted), but this signal was not emitted.
1019                 * Added a client_type field in the get_ui_info core UI op. See
1020                   core.h for details.
1021                 * Added introspection of signals exposed via the D-Bus API.
1022                 * purple_find_buddies is now more efficient in the case where
1023                   it is enumerating all the buddies for an account.
1024                 * purple_find_group is now more efficient for large numbers of groups.
1025                 * purple_find_conversation_with_account is more efficient for large
1026                   numbers of concurrent conversations.
1027                 * All DNS routines support internationalized domain names (IDNs) when
1028                   libpurple is compiled with GNU libidn.
1029                 * status is set before emitting signals in purple_xfer_set_status.
1030                 * Creating multiple distinct chats with the same name (i.e. "MSN Chat")
1031                   is deprecated and will be removed in libpurple 3.0.0.
1032                 * purple_xfer_start now accepts -1 as the fd parameter if the protocol
1033                   plugin will administer the transfer itself. 0 is still accepted for
1034                   backward compatibility since older versions of libpurple will not
1035                   accept -1.
1037                 Deprecated:
1038                 * buddy-added and buddy-removed blist signals

1060         pidgin:
1061                 Added:
1062                 * gtk_imhtml_class_register_protocol
1063                 * gtk_imhtml_link_get_url, gtk_imhtml_link_get_text_tag,
1064                   gtk_imhtml_link_activate functions to process GtkIMHtmlLink
1065                   objects from GtkIMHtml protocol callbacks.

1319                   a purple_plugin_unload()--which was called when a user tried
1320                   to unload a plugin--fails.  This then prevents the plugin
1321                   from being saved in the saved plugins list, so it'll won't
1322                   be loaded at the next startup.

1324                   types of connection error.

1328                   PurpleDisconnectReason.
1329                 * PurpleConnectionUiOps.report_disconnect_reason, to be
1330                   implemented by UIs (rather than .report_disconnect) if

1332                   to give a more specific error.
1333                 * A connection-error signal, fired just after the UiOp is
1334                   called with the same information.
1335                 * purple_connection_reason_is_fatal(), acting as a hint
1336                   to whether automatic reconnection should be attempted
1337                   after a connection error (rather than checking
1338                   gc->wants_to_die).
1339                 * PurpleConnectionErrorInfo, a struct to hold a
1340                   PurpleConnectionError and a const char *description.
1341                 * purple_account_get_current_error() to get the most recent
1342                   PurpleConnectionError and description (or NULL if the

1344                   the last error without caching it themselves (as
1345                   PidginBuddyList does).
1346                 * purple_account_clear_current_error() to reset an account's
1347                   error state to NULL.
1348                 * An account-error-changed signal, firing when
1349                   purple_account_get_current_error()'s return value changes.
1351                 * PidginMiniDialog, a Gtk widget-ified version of
1352                   pidgin_make_mini_dialog().
1354                 * purple_util_init()
1355                 * purple_util_uninit()
1357                 * purple_network_listen_map_external() to temporarily disable
1358                   mapping ports externally via NAT-PMP or UPnP.

1361                 * purple_plugin_unload() now honors the return value of a
1362                   plugin's unload function and can actually return FALSE now.
1363                 * purple_plugin_unload() no longer does its own notifications
1364                   when a dependent plugin fails to unload.  The UI should do
1365                   something appropriate.
1367                 * pidgin_make_mini_dialog() now declares its return type to be
1368                   GtkWidget * rather than void *.  This should not break any
1369                   existing code since any code using it must already rely on
1370                   the return type actually being GtkWidget * all along.
1372                 Deprecated:
1373                 * pidgin_dialogs_about()

1399                   attributes in place of colors if the terminal doesn't have color
1400                   support. (Bug: #3560) All future code should use gnt_color_pair
1401                   instead of COLOR_PAIR.
1402                 * Added gnt_menuitem_set_id and gnt_menuitem_get_id to set and get the
1403                   string id of a menuitem respectively.
1404                 * Added gnt_window_get_accel_item, which returns a the id of a menuitem
1405                   bound to a keystroke.

1407                   menu.
1408                 * Added gnt_menuitem_activate, which triggers the 'activate' signal on

1411                 * Added gnt_window_set_maximize and gnt_window_get_maximize, and

1488                   (You'll want to change your UI's implementation's signature

1548                   or freed.
1549                 * purple_presence_add_list now takes a GList* instead of a
