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.

747                 * Added PurpleSrvTxtQueryUiOps which allow UIs to specify their
748                   own mechanisms to resolve SRV and/or TXT queries. It works
749                   similar to PurpleDnsQueryUiOps

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

814                 Fixed:
815                 * purple_account_[gs]et_public_alias no longer crash when
816                   called for a protocol that doesn't support the underlying
817                   calls and the caller does not specify a failure callback.
819         Perl:
820                 Added:
821                 * Exposed log-subsystem signals.
823         Pidgin:
824                 Changed:
825                 * Changing the visibility (gtk_widget_hide/show) of
826                   the widgets in the GtkIMHtmlToolbar should now affect
827                   the visibility of the entries in the 'lean' view
828                   (the default toolbar view).
830                 Deprecated:

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

906 version 2.6.6 (02/18/2010):
907         libpurple:
908                 Changed:
909                 * purple_xfer_cancel_local is now called instead of
910                   purple_xfer_request_denied if an error is found when selecting
911                   a file to send. Request denied is still used when a receive
912                   request is not allowed.
913                 * xmlnode_from_str now properly handles parsing an attribute which
914                   contain "<br>", which were previously transformed into a
915                   newline character (libxml2 unescapes all entities except
916                   representations of '&', and libpurple's purple_unescape_html
917                   converts "<br>" to a newline).
919         Perl:
920                 Changed:
921                 * Corrected the package names for the PurpleProxyType and
922                   PurpleLogReadFlags enums to have the correct number of colons
923                   (from Purple::ProxyType::::<type> to Purple::ProxyType::<type>
924                   and Purple::Log:ReadFlags::::<type> to

936 version 2.6.2 (09/05/2009):
937         Perl:
938                 Added:
939                 * Purple::XMLNode::get_next(), which returns the next neighbor tag of
940                   the current node.
941                 Changed:
942                 * Purple::XMLNode::get_child() will return the first child node if
943                   passed "" or undef as the name of the node.
945 version 2.6.1 (08/18/2009):
946         No changes
948 version 2.6.0 (08/18/2009):
949         libpurple:

954                 * PURPLE_CONTACT

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

1020                 * xmlnode_set_attrib_full
1021                 * PURPLE_STATUS_MOOD as a new PurpleStatusPrimitive
1023                 Changed:
1024                 * xmlnode_remove_attrib now removes all attributes with the
1025                   same name.  Previously, it would remove the first one found,
1026                   which was completely non-deterministic.  If you want to remove
1027                   the attribute with no namespace, then use NULL with
1028                   xmlnode_remove_with_namespace.
1029                 * Plugins may now emit the jabber-sending-xmlnode signal in order
1030                   to send stanzas; this method is preferred to the prpl send_raw
1031                   function as other plugins listening to the signal see them.
1032                 * The conversation-updated signal with a PURPLE_CONV_UPDATE_TYPING
1033                   update type is emitted when receiving an IM.  Previously, the
1034                   typing state was modified (and the buddy-typing-stopped signal
1035                   emitted), but this signal was not emitted.
1036                 * Added a client_type field in the get_ui_info core UI op. See
1037                   core.h for details.
1038                 * Added introspection of signals exposed via the D-Bus API.
1039                 * purple_find_buddies is now more efficient in the case where
1040                   it is enumerating all the buddies for an account.
1041                 * purple_find_group is now more efficient for large numbers of groups.
1042                 * purple_find_conversation_with_account is more efficient for large
1043                   numbers of concurrent conversations.
1044                 * All DNS routines support internationalized domain names (IDNs) when
1045                   libpurple is compiled with GNU libidn.
1046                 * status is set before emitting signals in purple_xfer_set_status.
1047                 * Creating multiple distinct chats with the same name (i.e. "MSN Chat")
1048                   is deprecated and will be removed in libpurple 3.0.0.
1049                 * purple_xfer_start now accepts -1 as the fd parameter if the protocol
1050                   plugin will administer the transfer itself. 0 is still accepted for
1051                   backward compatibility since older versions of libpurple will not
1052                   accept -1.
1054                 Deprecated:
1055                 * buddy-added and buddy-removed blist signals
1056                 * purple_blist_destroy

1329                 * a PurpleConversation field and an alias field in PurpleConvMessage
1330                 * account-authorization signals (see account-signals.dox for

1332                 * libpurple/purple.h, which includes #define's and #include's

1335                 * purple_plugin_disable(), which is intended to be called when
1336                   a purple_plugin_unload()--which was called when a user tried
1337                   to unload a plugin--fails.  This then prevents the plugin
1338                   from being saved in the saved plugins list, so it'll won't
1339                   be loaded at the next startup.
1340                 * PurpleDisconnectReason enumeration of machine-readable
1341                   types of connection error.
1342                 * purple_connection_error_reason(), to be used by prpls

1345                   PurpleDisconnectReason.
1346                 * PurpleConnectionUiOps.report_disconnect_reason, to be
1347                   implemented by UIs (rather than .report_disconnect) if
1348                   they want to use the reported PurpleDisconnectReason
1349                   to give a more specific error.
1350                 * A connection-error signal, fired just after the UiOp is
1351                   called with the same information.
1352                 * purple_connection_reason_is_fatal(), acting as a hint
1353                   to whether automatic reconnection should be attempted
1354                   after a connection error (rather than checking
1355                   gc->wants_to_die).
1356                 * PurpleConnectionErrorInfo, a struct to hold a
1357                   PurpleConnectionError and a const char *description.
1358                 * purple_account_get_current_error() to get the most recent
1359                   PurpleConnectionError and description (or NULL if the
1360                   account is happy with life), to allow bits of the UI to know
1361                   the last error without caching it themselves (as
1362                   PidginBuddyList does).
1363                 * purple_account_clear_current_error() to reset an account's
1364                   error state to NULL.
1365                 * An account-error-changed signal, firing when
1366                   purple_account_get_current_error()'s return value changes.
1368                 * PidginMiniDialog, a Gtk widget-ified version of
1369                   pidgin_make_mini_dialog().
1371                 * purple_util_init()
1372                 * purple_util_uninit()
1374                 * purple_network_listen_map_external() to temporarily disable
1375                   mapping ports externally via NAT-PMP or UPnP.
1377                 Changed:
1378                 * purple_plugin_unload() now honors the return value of a
1379                   plugin's unload function and can actually return FALSE now.
1380                 * purple_plugin_unload() no longer does its own notifications
1381                   when a dependent plugin fails to unload.  The UI should do
1382                   something appropriate.
1384                 * pidgin_make_mini_dialog() now declares its return type to be
1385                   GtkWidget * rather than void *.  This should not break any
1386                   existing code since any code using it must already rely on
1387                   the return type actually being GtkWidget * all along.
1389                 Deprecated:
1390                 * pidgin_dialogs_about()

1406                   attributes.
1408                 XMPP:
1409                 * A new independant status type with PURPLE_STATUS_TUNE primitive, and

1411                   YEAR, URL} attributes.
1413         Finch:
1414                 libgnt:
1415                 * Added gnt_color_pair, which will try to intelligenty set text
1416                   attributes in place of colors if the terminal doesn't have color
