1 Pidgin and Finch: The Pimpin' Penguin IM Clients That're Good for the Soul
3 version 2.6.3 (10/16/2009):
6 version 2.6.2 (09/05/2009):
9 * Purple::XMLNode::get_next(), which returns the next neighbor tag of
12 * Purple::XMLNode::get_child() will return the first child node if
13 passed "" or undef as the name of the node.
15 version 2.6.1 (08/18/2009):
18 version 2.6.0 (08/18/2009):
21 * PurpleMedia and PurpleMediaManager API
27 * Account signals (see account-signals.dox)
28 * account-actions-changed
31 * blist-node-added and blist-node-removed signals (see
33 * Three Blist UI ops used to overload libpurple's built-in saving
34 of the buddy list to blist.xml. If a UI implements these, it probably
35 wants to add the buddies itself and not call purple_blist_load.
36 * Three File Transfer UI ops used to overload libpurple's use of fread
37 and fwrite for saving a file locally. These allow a UI to stream a
38 file through a socket without buffering the file on the local disk.
39 * Jabber plugin signals (see jabber-signals.dox)
40 * purple_account_remove_setting
41 * purple_buddy_destroy
42 * purple_buddy_get_protocol_data
43 * purple_buddy_set_protocol_data
44 * purple_buddy_get_local_buddy_alias
45 * purple_blist_get_buddies
46 * purple_blist_get_ui_data
47 * purple_blist_set_ui_data
48 * purple_blist_node_get_ui_data
49 * purple_blist_node_set_ui_data
50 * purple_certificate_check_signature_chain_with_failing
52 * purple_connection_get_protocol_data
53 * purple_connection_set_protocol_data
54 * purple_contact_destroy
55 * purple_conv_chat_invite_user
56 * purple_debug_is_unsafe
57 * purple_debug_is_verbose
58 * purple_debug_set_unsafe
59 * purple_debug_set_verbose
60 * purple_global_proxy_set_info
61 * purple_group_destroy

73 * purple_network_remove_port_mapping
74 * purple_plugins_get_search_paths
75 * purple_proxy_connect_udp
76 * purple_prpl_get_media_caps
77 * purple_prpl_got_account_actions
78 * purple_prpl_initiate_media
79 * purple_request_field_get_group
80 * purple_request_field_get_ui_data
81 * purple_request_field_set_ui_data
82 * purple_ssl_connect_with_ssl_cn
84 * purple_utf8_strip_unprintables
85 * purple_util_fetch_url_request_len_with_account
86 * purple_xfer_prpl_ready
87 * purple_xfer_ui_ready
90 * xmlnode_set_attrib_full
93 * xmlnode_remove_attrib now removes all attributes with the
94 same name. Previously, it would remove the first one found,
95 which was completely non-deterministic. If you want to remove
96 the attribute with no namespace, then use NULL with
97 xmlnode_remove_with_namespace.
98 * Plugins may now emit the jabber-sending-xmlnode signal in order
99 to send stanzas; this method is preferred to the prpl send_raw
100 function as other plugins listening to the signal see them.
101 * The conversation-updated signal with a PURPLE_CONV_UPDATE_TYPING
102 update type is emitted when receiving an IM. Previously, the
103 typing state was modified (and the buddy-typing-stopped signal
104 emitted), but this signal was not emitted.
105 * Added a client_type field in the get_ui_info core UI op. See
107 * Added introspection of signals exposed via the D-Bus API.
108 * purple_find_buddies is now more efficient in the case where
109 it is enumerating all the buddies for an account.
110 * purple_find_group is now more efficient for large numbers of groups.
111 * purple_find_conversation_with_account is more efficient for large
112 numbers of concurrent conversations.
113 * All DNS routines support internationalized domain names (IDNs) when
114 libpurple is compiled with GNU libidn.
115 * status is set before emitting signals in purple_xfer_set_status.
116 * Creating multiple distinct chats with the same name (i.e. "MSN Chat")
117 is deprecated and will be removed in libpurple 3.0.0.
118 * purple_xfer_start now accepts -1 as the fd parameter if the protocol
119 plugin will administer the transfer itself. 0 is still accepted for
120 backward compatibility since older versions of libpurple will not
124 * buddy-added and buddy-removed blist signals
125 * purple_blist_destroy
127 * purple_buddy_get_local_alias
128 * purple_certificate_check_signature_chain
129 * purple_ip_address_is_valid
130 * purple_notify_user_info_remove_entry
132 * purple_status_type_set_primary_attr
133 * purple_status_type_add_attr
134 * purple_status_type_add_attrs
135 * purple_status_type_add_attrs_vargs
136 * purple_status_type_get_primary_attr
137 * purple_status_set_attr_boolean
138 * purple_status_set_attr_int
139 * purple_status_set_attr_string
140 * purple_presence_add_status
141 * purple_presence_add_list
142 * purple_util_fetch_url_request_len
143 * xmlnode_set_attrib_with_namespace
144 * xmlnode_set_attrib_with_prefix
148 * gtk_imhtml_class_register_protocol
149 * gtk_imhtml_link_get_url, gtk_imhtml_link_get_text_tag,
150 gtk_imhtml_link_activate functions to process GtkIMHtmlLink
151 objects from GtkIMHtml protocol callbacks.
152 * gtk_imhtml_set_return_inserts_newline
153 * gtk_imhtml_set_populate_primary_clipboard
154 * pidgin_blist_set_theme

159 * pidgin_utils_init, pidgin_utils_uninit
160 * pidgin_notify_pounce_add
161 * PidginBlistTheme, PidginBlistThemeLoader API
162 * PidginIconTheme, PidginStatusIconTheme, PidginIconThemeLoader
164 * pidgin_stock_id_from_status_primitive
165 * pidgin_stock_id_from_presence
169 * GntProgressBar and functions (Saleem Abdulrasool)
173 * Purple::XMLNode::get_name()
176 * Made a bunch of functions act more perl-like. Call the new()
177 functions as Class->new(...) instead of Class::new(...):
178 * Purple::Request::Fields::new
179 * Purple::Request::Field::new
180 * Purple::Request::Field::account_new
181 * Purple::Request::Field::bool_new
182 * Purple::Request::Field::choice_new

185 * Purple::Request::Field::list_new
186 * Purple::Request::Field::string_new
187 * Purple::Request::Field::group_new
188 * Make the XMLNode API more perl-like. Don't pass len
189 parameters and call them like:
192 * $xmlnode->to_formatted_str()
193 * Purple::XMLNode::from_str(...)
194 version 2.5.9 (08/18/2009):

203 version 2.5.6 (05/19/2009):
206 version 2.5.5 (03/01/2009):
209 * purple_status_type_new now defaults "saveable" to TRUE.
210 This was necessary in order to maintain the current behavior
211 while fixing non-saveable statuses not to be saved.
212 * xmlnode_get_prefix, xmlnode_to_str and xmlnode_to_formatted_str
213 now all take a const xmlnode* instead of an xmlnode*
215 version 2.5.4 (01/12/2009):
218 * Purple::PluginPref->get_bounds no longer takes two integer
219 arguments it now returns two integers.
222 * Removed a handful of string-related utility functions that
223 can generally be better handled with perl's built-in string
224 functions rather than using pidgin's:
225 * Purple::Util::strcasereplace
226 * Purple::Util::strcasestr

292 * Purple::Prefs::get_children_names.
293 * Purple::timeout_remove.
295 * Purple::timeout_add now returns a handle which can be used
296 to remove the timeout.
297 * Callbacks to Purple::Util::fetch_url and the
298 Purple::Request::* functions can now be specified as both
299 strings (the name of the callback function) and as coderefs.
302 * Added gnt_bindable_check_key to check if a keystroke is bound.
304 version 2.4.0 (02/29/2008):
307 * purple_certificate_add_ca_search_path. (Florian Quèze)
308 * purple_gai_strerror.
309 * purple_major_version, purple_minor_version,
310 purple_micro_version variables are exported by version.h,
311 giving the version of libpurple in use at runtime.
312 * purple_util_set_current_song, purple_util_format_song_info
313 * purple_ip_address_is_valid

354 added utility functions pidgin_dialog_get_vbox_with_properties,
355 pidgin_dialog_get_vbox, pidgin_dialog_get_action_area to access the
356 contents in the created dialog. (Peter 'fmoo' Ruibal)
357 * pidgin_dialog_add_button to add buttons to a dialog created by
358 pidgin_create_dialog.
359 * GTK_IMHTML_NO_SMILEY for GtkIMHtmlOptions means not to look for
360 smileys in the text. (Florian 'goutnet' Delizy)
361 * pidgin_auto_parent_window to make a window transient for a suitable
363 * pidgin_tooltip_setup_for_treeview, pidgin_tooltip_destroy,
364 pidgin_tooltip_show and pidgin_tooltip_setup_for_widget to simplify
365 the process of drawing tooltips.
366 * pidgin_add_widget_to_vbox to simplify adding a labeled widget to a
373 * finch_roomlist_get_ui_ops and finch_roomlist_show_all
374 * finch_request_field_get_widget to get the widget for a request
376 * finch_blist_get_tree to get the GntTree widget representing the
378 * FinchBlistManager structure to manage the buddylist view, and some
379 util functions finch_blist_install_manager,
380 finch_blist_uninstall_manager, finch_blist_manager_find and
381 finch_blist_manager_add_node.

391 * Added gnt_style_get_color to get a color pair from an entry in
393 * Added gnt_tree_get_parent_key to get the key for the parent row.
395 version 2.3.0 (11/24/2007):
398 * a PurpleConversation field and an alias field in PurpleConvMessage
399 * account-authorization signals (see account-signals.dox for
400 details) (Stefan Ott)
401 * libpurple/purple.h, which includes #define's and #include's
402 required to compile stand-alone plugins
403 * PURPLE_STATUS_TUNE as a new PurpleStatusPrimitive
404 * purple_plugin_disable(), which is intended to be called when
405 a purple_plugin_unload()--which was called when a user tried
406 to unload a plugin--fails. This then prevents the plugin
407 from being saved in the saved plugins list, so it'll won't
408 be loaded at the next startup.
409 * PurpleDisconnectReason enumeration of machine-readable
410 types of connection error.
411 * purple_connection_error_reason(), to be used by prpls
412 (instead of purple_connection_error() and setting
413 gc->wants_to_die) to report errors along with a
414 PurpleDisconnectReason.
415 * PurpleConnectionUiOps.report_disconnect_reason, to be
416 implemented by UIs (rather than .report_disconnect) if
417 they want to use the reported PurpleDisconnectReason
418 to give a more specific error.
419 * A connection-error signal, fired just after the UiOp is
420 called with the same information.
421 * purple_connection_reason_is_fatal(), acting as a hint
422 to whether automatic reconnection should be attempted
423 after a connection error (rather than checking
425 * PurpleConnectionErrorInfo, a struct to hold a
426 PurpleConnectionError and a const char *description.
427 * purple_account_get_current_error() to get the most recent
428 PurpleConnectionError and description (or NULL if the
429 account is happy with life), to allow bits of the UI to know
430 the last error without caching it themselves (as
431 PidginBuddyList does).
432 * purple_account_clear_current_error() to reset an account's
434 * An account-error-changed signal, firing when
435 purple_account_get_current_error()'s return value changes.
437 * PidginMiniDialog, a Gtk widget-ified version of
438 pidgin_make_mini_dialog().
441 * purple_util_uninit()
443 * purple_network_listen_map_external() to temporarily disable
444 mapping ports externally via NAT-PMP or UPnP.
447 * purple_plugin_unload() now honors the return value of a
448 plugin's unload function and can actually return FALSE now.
449 * purple_plugin_unload() no longer does its own notifications
450 when a dependent plugin fails to unload. The UI should do
451 something appropriate.
453 * pidgin_make_mini_dialog() now declares its return type to be
454 GtkWidget * rather than void *. This should not break any
455 existing code since any code using it must already rely on
456 the return type actually being GtkWidget * all along.
459 * pidgin_dialogs_about()
460 * pidgin_log_show_contact()
462 * pidgin_plugin_dialog_show()
463 * pidgin_pounce_editor_show()
464 * pidgin_pounces_manager_show()
465 * pidgin_syslog_show()
467 * purple_connection_error()
468 * pidgin_blist_update_account_error_state()
469 * PidginBuddyList.connection_errors
470 * purple_network_listen_map_external()
473 * A new independant status type with PURPLE_STATUS_TUNE primitive, and
474 PURPLE_TUNE_ARTIST, PURPLE_TUNE_ALBUM and PURPLE_TUNE_TITLE
478 * A new independant status type with PURPLE_STATUS_TUNE primitive, and
479 PURPLE_TUNE_{ARTIST, TITLE, ALBUM, GENRE, COMMENT, TRACK, TIME,
480 YEAR, URL} attributes.
484 * Added gnt_color_pair, which will try to intelligenty set text
485 attributes in place of colors if the terminal doesn't have color
486 support. (Bug: #3560) All future code should use gnt_color_pair
487 instead of COLOR_PAIR.
488 * Added gnt_menuitem_set_id and gnt_menuitem_get_id to set and get the
489 string id of a menuitem respectively.
490 * Added gnt_window_get_accel_item, which returns a the id of a menuitem
491 bound to a keystroke.
492 * Added gnt_menu_get_item to get a menuitem of the given id from a
494 * Added gnt_menuitem_activate, which triggers the 'activate' signal on
495 the menuitem and calls the callback function, if available.
496 * Added GntEntryKillRing in GntEntry.
497 * Added gnt_window_set_maximize and gnt_window_get_maximize, and
500 version 2.2.2 (??/??/????):
503 * The size parameter of purple_util_write_data_to_file_absolute
504 has been changed to gssize instead of a size_t to correctly
505 indicate that -1 can be used for a nul-delimited string.
506 * The documentation for purple_savedstatuses_get_popular used to
507 incorrectly claim that the active status is excluded from the
508 returned list. The documentation has been corrected. Also, the
509 function now returns a correct list when called with a value of 0.
511 version 2.2.0 (09/13/2007):
514 * PURPLE_MESSAGE_INVISIBLE flag, which can be used by
515 purple_conv_im_send_with_flags to send a message, but not display it
517 * serv_send_attention(), serv_got_attention(), as well as send_attention
518 and attention_types in PurplePluginProtocolInfo. This new API is used
519 for zapping in MySpaceIM, buzzing in Yahoo, and nudging in MSN.
520 * PurpleConvMessage structure to represent a message in a
521 conversation. purple_conversation_message_get_sender,
522 purple_conversation_message_get_message,
523 purple_conversation_message_get_flags and
524 purple_conversation_message_get_timestamp to get information about a
526 * purple_conversation_get_message_history() to retrieve a list of
527 PurpleConvMessage's in a conversation, and
528 purple_conversation_clear_message_history to clear the history.
529 * purple_certificate_* functions in libpurple/certificate.h - "A public-key certificate API"
530 * purple_ssl_get_peer_certificates() and associated field in PurpleSslOps to retrieve a server's presented SSL certificate chain.
531 * PurpleSslConnection::verifier to provide a "how to verify the peer's certificates" callback to the SSL handlers. See certificate.h for more on this.
532 * 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.
535 * purple_prefs_load is now called within purple_prefs_init.
536 The UI no longer needs to call it.
537 * writing-im-msg now receives the conversation name as the who
538 argument if the caller of purple_conversation_write didn't
539 provide a value for who.
543 * pidgin_set_accessible_relations, sets up label-for and labelled-by
544 ATK relations (broken out from pidgin_set_accessible_label)
545 * pidgin_conv_attach_to_conversation, to reattach the Pidgin UI to a
547 * conversation-hiding and conversation-displayed signals.
548 * pidgin_text_combo_box_entry_new, pidgin_text_combo_box_entry_get_text
549 and pidgin_text_combo_box_entry_set_text
552 * pidgin_conversations_fill_menu now also adds a separator and a 'Show
553 All' item if there are more than one conversations in the list.
557 * finch_sound_is_enabled
558 * The reserved field in the FinchConv is now used to store information
559 about the conversation (using FinchConversationFlag)
560 * finch_account_dialog_show
563 * gnt_slider_set_small_step, gnt_slider_set_large_step to allow more
564 fine tuned updates of a GntSlider
565 * gnt_util_parse_xhtml_to_textview to parse XHTML strings in a
566 GntTextView (this works only if libxml2 is available)
568 version 2.1.1 (08/20/2007):
571 * PurpleAccountUiOps.request_authorize's authorize_cb and
572 deny_cb parameters now correctly have type
573 PurpleAccountRequestAuthorizationCb rather than GCallback.
574 (You'll want to change your UI's implementation's signature
575 to avoid warnings, and then remove some now-redundant casts
576 back to the proper type.)
578 version 2.1.0 (7/28/2007):
581 * purple-remote: added getstatus command
582 * conversation-extended-menu signal (See Doxygen docs)
583 * OPT_PROTO_SLASH_COMMANDS_NATIVE protocol option to indicate that
584 slash commands are "native" to the protocol
585 * PURPLE_MESSAGE_NO_LINKIFY message flag to indicate that the message
586 should not be auto-linkified
587 * PurpleEventLoopUiOps.timeout_add_seconds
588 UIs can now use better scheduling for whole-second timers. For
589 example, clients based on the glib event loop can now use
590 g_timeout_add_seconds.
