Pidgin and Finch: The Pimpin' Penguin IM Clients That're Good for the Soul

version 2.0.0:
        * The project has new names - libpurple for the core, Pidgin for the
          GTK+ UI and Finch for the ncurses based console UI (AOL LLC)

        Build Changes:
        * With the Core/UI split complete, it is now possible to build
          libpurple without any UIs, creating a library upon which other
          UIs may be constructed
        * A new ncurses-based console UI called Finch is now available
          (Sadrul Habib Chowdhury, Google Summer of Code)
        * Reorganized the source tree to split apart the code for the UI
          changes and libpurple targets
        * libxml2 is now required.  We switched from gmarkup to libxml2 for
          more correct XML parsing.

        Status System:
        * The code dealing with buddy and account status, away messages,
          away states, online/offline, etc has been completely rewritten.
          Huge thanks to Christian Hammond, Dave West, Daniel Atallah and
          Sadrul Habib Chowdhury.
        * Your status can now be set from inside the buddy list using the
          selector at the bottom of the window.
        * To see messages when a buddy signs on or off, goes away, or
          becomes idle, load the "Buddy State Notification" plugin

        Buddy List:
        * Performance when manipulating and displaying the buddy list has
          been significantly improved (Aaron Sheldon, Google Summer of Code)
        * Buddy icons are now shown in tooltips (Felipe Contreras)
        * Tooltips now contain additional information about a "Person" that
          contains multiple online buddies
        * Added a "Last Seen" field to buddy tooltips
        * Contacts will auto-expand when buddies are dragged around
        * If Pidgin is exited with the buddy list hidden in the docklet, it
          will remain hidden when Pidgin is started again (Scott Shedden)
        * Improved buddy list searching with CTRL+F
        * Ability to set a buddy icon for all of your accounts at once via
          the buddy list (You can still set per-account icons via the
          account editor)
        * The space wasted by the group expanders has been eliminated and
          the expander setting in .gtkrc-2.0 is no longer needed
        * Authorization requests don't popup new dialogs anymore. They are
          displayed at the bottom of the buddy list instead.
        * New mail notifications don't popup new dialogs anymore. They are
          displayed at the top of the buddy list instead.

        Conversations and Chats:
        * Timestamps honor the locale.  To use the traditional style,
          enable the "Message Timestamp Formats" plugin.  The plugin
          also provides options to show dates in timestamps.
        * Messages from buddies in the same "Person" will automatically
          use the same conversation window.
        * The "Send As" menu has been replaced with a more appropriate
          "Send To" menu based on "Persons" on your buddy list
        * Message formatting persists between messages (Igor Belyi)
        * Full message background colors are now supported
        * Smooth scrolling when receiving a new message
        * Screenname colors in chats now chosen intelligently
        * Conversation buffer scrollback limited to avoid large memory
          usage in active conversations
        * Control-Shift-Tab will reverse cycle through the conversation tabs
          (James Vega)
        * Many problems related to having an IM conversation and a chat open
          with the same name are fixed (Andrew Hart)
        * Warning dialog when closing a window with unread IM messages
        * In chats right-click on names in the conversation window to
          IM/Send File/Get info/ignore the user
        * Added tab management options to the tab right-click menu (Sadrul
          Habib Chowdhury)
        * Brand new message queueing system.  Sounds are played when a
          message is queued rather than when the message is dequeued
          (Casey Harkins)
        * Ability to find the last message from a user in a chat (Levi Bard
          and Sadrul Habib Chowdhury)
        * Formatting is preserved across messages
          (There are known issues with pasting formatted text.  Either use
           "Paste as Plain Text", hit Ctrl-R after pasting, or use the Clear
           Formatting button on the toolbar.)
        * Performance while joining large chat rooms has been significantly
          improved (Aaron Sheldon, Google Summer of Code)
        * Bi-Directional text support improvements for GtkIMHtml (Shlomi Loubaton)

        * Beautiful new default sounds (Brad Turcotte)
        * Use GStreamer for playing sounds, instead of libao
        * A volume control in the preferences (Casey Harkins)

        Log Viewer:
        * Log viewer aggregates logs from the same "Person"
        * When opening the log viewer, show the most recent log by default
          (Peter McCurdy)
        * Logs are now saved with the current timezone, which is displayed
          in the log viewer
        * Text logs are linkified, so URLs are clickable
        * The old logger now caches file offsets, so opening the log viewer
          for buddies with old logs should be much faster now if you have large
          log files (except the first time for a log, when the cache is built)

        Plugins:
        * Plugins are now accessed through a separate dialog from the Tools
          menu of the Buddy List

          (Piotr Zielinski, Google Summer of Code)
        * The purple-url-handler program has been added to provide a way to
          automatically launch IM links via Pidgin or Finch.
        * The functionality of the auto-reconnect plugin has been
          moved into the core, and the plugin itself has been removed.
