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                 * Added add_buddies_with_invite to PurplePluginProtocolInfo
752                 * Added PurpleSrvTxtQueryUiOps which allow UIs to specify their
753                   own mechanisms to resolve SRV and/or TXT queries. It works
754                   similar to PurpleDnsQueryUiOps

773 version 2.7.11 (03/10/2011):
774         * libpurple:
775                 Added:
776                 * Four entries in the GHashTable passed when joining
777                   an XMPP chat room which allow the UI to request a limited
778                   amount of history.  See XEP-0045 7.1.16 for details; the
779                   entries are named history_maxchars, history_maxstanzas,
780                   history_seconds, and history_since.  history_since must be
781                   interpretable by purple_str_to_time, and the prpl takes care
782                   of formatting the time properly.
783         * Perl:
784                 Added:
785                 * Purple::find_conversation_with_account

815                   testing.
817 version 2.7.3 (08/10/2010):
818         libpurple:
819                 Fixed:
820                 * purple_account_[gs]et_public_alias no longer crash when
821                   called for a protocol that doesn't support the underlying
822                   calls and the caller does not specify a failure callback.
824         Perl:
825                 Added:
826                 * Exposed log-subsystem signals.
828         Pidgin:
829                 Changed:
830                 * Changing the visibility (gtk_widget_hide/show) of
831                   the widgets in the GtkIMHtmlToolbar should now affect
832                   the visibility of the entries in the 'lean' view
833                   (the default toolbar view).
835                 Deprecated:
836                 * pidgin_check_if_dir
838         libgnt:
839                 Added:
840                 * gnt_tree_row_get_key, gnt_tree_row_get_next,
841                   gnt_tree_row_get_prev, gnt_tree_row_get_child and
842                   gnt_tree_row_get_parent.

854                    * account-signed-on
855                    * account-signed-off
856                    * account-connection-error

861                 * purple_account_set_public_alias
862                 * buddy-caps-changed blist signal
863                 * Added media_caps to the PurpleBuddy struct
864                 * purple_buddy_get_media_caps
865                 * purple_buddy_set_media_caps
866                 * purple_certificates_import for importing multiple
867                   certificates from a single file (and corresponding
868                   import_certificates member of PurpleCertificateScheme struct)
869                 * autojoin connection signal
870                 * purple_contact_get_group

877                 * purple_media_manager_set_backend_type
878                 * PurpleMood struct in status.h
879                 * purple_network_get_all_local_system_ips, which returns all
880                   local IPs on the system.  On systems with the getifaddrs()
881                   function, this will return both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses
882                   (excluding link-local and loopback addresses).  On others,
883                   it returns just IPv4 addresses.
884                 * purple_network_listen_family and
885                   purple_network_listen_range_family.  These will replace the
886                   versions without _family in 3.0.0 and allow the caller to
887                   specifically request either an IPv4 or IPv6 socket.  IPv6 is
888                   only supported if the getaddrinfo() function is available
889                   at build-time (not the case on Windows, currently).
890                 * purple_prpl_got_media_caps

900                 * purple_xfer_prepare_thumbnail
902         Pidgin:
903                 Added:
904                 * pidgin_dialogs_buildinfo (should not be used by anything but Pidgin)
905                 * pidgin_dialogs_developers (should not be used by anything but Pidgin)
906                 * pidgin_dialogs_translators (should not be used by anything but Pidgin)
907                 * gtk_imhtmltoolbar_switch_active_conversation
908                 * 'paste' signal for GtkIMHtml (more in gtkimhtml-signals.dox)
909                 * 'drawing-buddy' signal for gtkblist (more in gtkblist-signals.dox)
911 version 2.6.6 (02/18/2010):
912         libpurple:
913                 Changed:
914                 * purple_xfer_cancel_local is now called instead of
915                   purple_xfer_request_denied if an error is found when selecting
916                   a file to send. Request denied is still used when a receive
917                   request is not allowed.
918                 * xmlnode_from_str now properly handles parsing an attribute which
919                   contain "<br>", which were previously transformed into a
920                   newline character (libxml2 unescapes all entities except
921                   representations of '&', and libpurple's purple_unescape_html
922                   converts "<br>" to a newline).
924         Perl:
925                 Changed:
926                 * Corrected the package names for the PurpleProxyType and
927                   PurpleLogReadFlags enums to have the correct number of colons
928                   (from Purple::ProxyType::::<type> to Purple::ProxyType::<type>
929                   and Purple::Log:ReadFlags::::<type> to
930                   Purple::Log::ReadFlags::<type>)  (Chris Foote)

938 version 2.6.3 (10/16/2009):
939         No changes
941 version 2.6.2 (09/05/2009):
942         Perl:
943                 Added:
944                 * Purple::XMLNode::get_next(), which returns the next neighbor tag of
945                   the current node.
946                 Changed:
947                 * Purple::XMLNode::get_child() will return the first child node if
948                   passed "" or undef as the name of the node.
950 version 2.6.1 (08/18/2009):
951         No changes
953 version 2.6.0 (08/18/2009):
954         libpurple:
955                 Added:
956                 * PurpleMedia and PurpleMediaManager API
957                 * PURPLE_BLIST_NODE
958                 * PURPLE_GROUP
959                 * PURPLE_CONTACT
960                 * PURPLE_BUDDY
961                 * PURPLE_CHAT

964                         * account-created
965                         * account-destroying
966                 * blist-node-added and blist-node-removed signals (see
967                   blist-signals.dox)
968                 * Three Blist UI ops used to overload libpurple's built-in saving
969                   of the buddy list to blist.xml. If a UI implements these, it probably
970                   wants to add the buddies itself and not call purple_blist_load.
971                 * Three File Transfer UI ops used to overload libpurple's use of fread
972                   and fwrite for saving a file locally. These allow a UI to stream a
973                   file through a socket without buffering the file on the local disk.
974                 * Jabber plugin signals (see jabber-signals.dox)
975                 * purple_account_remove_setting

1023                 * xmlnode_from_file
1024                 * xmlnode_get_parent
1025                 * xmlnode_set_attrib_full
1026                 * PURPLE_STATUS_MOOD as a new PurpleStatusPrimitive
1028                 Changed:
1029                 * xmlnode_remove_attrib now removes all attributes with the
1030                   same name.  Previously, it would remove the first one found,
1031                   which was completely non-deterministic.  If you want to remove
1032                   the attribute with no namespace, then use NULL with
1033                   xmlnode_remove_with_namespace.
1034                 * Plugins may now emit the jabber-sending-xmlnode signal in order
1035                   to send stanzas; this method is preferred to the prpl send_raw
1036                   function as other plugins listening to the signal see them.
1037                 * The conversation-updated signal with a PURPLE_CONV_UPDATE_TYPING
1038                   update type is emitted when receiving an IM.  Previously, the
1039                   typing state was modified (and the buddy-typing-stopped signal
1040                   emitted), but this signal was not emitted.
1041                 * Added a client_type field in the get_ui_info core UI op. See
1042                   core.h for details.
1043                 * Added introspection of signals exposed via the D-Bus API.
1044                 * purple_find_buddies is now more efficient in the case where
1045                   it is enumerating all the buddies for an account.
1046                 * purple_find_group is now more efficient for large numbers of groups.
1047                 * purple_find_conversation_with_account is more efficient for large
1048                   numbers of concurrent conversations.
1049                 * All DNS routines support internationalized domain names (IDNs) when
1050                   libpurple is compiled with GNU libidn.
1051                 * status is set before emitting signals in purple_xfer_set_status.
1052                 * Creating multiple distinct chats with the same name (i.e. "MSN Chat")
1053                   is deprecated and will be removed in libpurple 3.0.0.
1054                 * purple_xfer_start now accepts -1 as the fd parameter if the protocol
1055                   plugin will administer the transfer itself. 0 is still accepted for
1056                   backward compatibility since older versions of libpurple will not
1057                   accept -1.
1059                 Deprecated:
1060                 * buddy-added and buddy-removed blist signals
1061                 * purple_blist_destroy
1062                 * purple_blist_new
1063                 * purple_buddy_get_local_alias

1340                 * purple_plugin_disable(), which is intended to be called when
1341                   a purple_plugin_unload()--which was called when a user tried
1342                   to unload a plugin--fails.  This then prevents the plugin
1343                   from being saved in the saved plugins list, so it'll won't
1344                   be loaded at the next startup.
1345                 * PurpleDisconnectReason enumeration of machine-readable
1346                   types of connection error.

1350                   PurpleDisconnectReason.
1351                 * PurpleConnectionUiOps.report_disconnect_reason, to be
1352                   implemented by UIs (rather than .report_disconnect) if
1353                   they want to use the reported PurpleDisconnectReason
1354                   to give a more specific error.
1355                 * A connection-error signal, fired just after the UiOp is
1356                   called with the same information.
1357                 * purple_connection_reason_is_fatal(), acting as a hint
1358                   to whether automatic reconnection should be attempted
1359                   after a connection error (rather than checking
1360                   gc->wants_to_die).
1361                 * PurpleConnectionErrorInfo, a struct to hold a
1362                   PurpleConnectionError and a const char *description.
1363                 * purple_account_get_current_error() to get the most recent
1364                   PurpleConnectionError and description (or NULL if the

1366                   the last error without caching it themselves (as
1367                   PidginBuddyList does).
1368                 * purple_account_clear_current_error() to reset an account's
1369                   error state to NULL.
1370                 * An account-error-changed signal, firing when
1371                   purple_account_get_current_error()'s return value changes.
1373                 * PidginMiniDialog, a Gtk widget-ified version of
1374                   pidgin_make_mini_dialog().
1376                 * purple_util_init()
1377                 * purple_util_uninit()
1379                 * purple_network_listen_map_external() to temporarily disable
1380                   mapping ports externally via NAT-PMP or UPnP.

1383                 * purple_plugin_unload() now honors the return value of a
1384                   plugin's unload function and can actually return FALSE now.
1385                 * purple_plugin_unload() no longer does its own notifications
1386                   when a dependent plugin fails to unload.  The UI should do
1387                   something appropriate.
1389                 * pidgin_make_mini_dialog() now declares its return type to be
1390                   GtkWidget * rather than void *.  This should not break any
1391                   existing code since any code using it must already rely on
1392                   the return type actually being GtkWidget * all along.
1394                 Deprecated:

1510                   (You'll want to change your UI's implementation's signature

1512                   back to the proper type.)

1570                   or freed.
1571                 * purple_presence_add_list now takes a GList* instead of a
