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.

764                 * Added PurpleSrvTxtQueryUiOps which allow UIs to specify their
765                   own mechanisms to resolve SRV and/or TXT queries. It works
766                   similar to PurpleDnsQueryUiOps

785 version 2.7.11 (03/10/2011):
786         * libpurple:
787                 Added:
788                 * Four entries in the GHashTable passed when joining
789                   an XMPP chat room which allow the UI to request a limited
790                   amount of history.  See XEP-0045 7.1.16 for details; the
791                   entries are named history_maxchars, history_maxstanzas,
792                   history_seconds, and history_since.  history_since must be
793                   interpretable by purple_str_to_time, and the prpl takes care
794                   of formatting the time properly.
795         * Perl:

826                   to Rafael in devel@conference.pidgin.im for reporting and
827                   testing.
829 version 2.7.3 (08/10/2010):
830         libpurple:
831                 Fixed:
832                 * purple_account_[gs]et_public_alias no longer crash when
833                   called for a protocol that doesn't support the underlying
834                   calls and the caller does not specify a failure callback.
836         Perl:
837                 Added:
838                 * Exposed log-subsystem signals.
840         Pidgin:
841                 Changed:
842                 * Changing the visibility (gtk_widget_hide/show) of
843                   the widgets in the GtkIMHtmlToolbar should now affect
844                   the visibility of the entries in the 'lean' view
845                   (the default toolbar view).
847                 Deprecated:
848                 * pidgin_check_if_dir

876                 * purple_buddy_get_media_caps
877                 * purple_buddy_set_media_caps
878                 * purple_certificates_import for importing multiple

890                 * PurpleMood struct in status.h
891                 * purple_network_get_all_local_system_ips, which returns all
892                   local IPs on the system.  On systems with the getifaddrs()
893                   function, this will return both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses
894                   (excluding link-local and loopback addresses).  On others,
895                   it returns just IPv4 addresses.
896                 * purple_network_listen_family and
897                   purple_network_listen_range_family.  These will replace the
898                   versions without _family in 3.0.0 and allow the caller to
899                   specifically request either an IPv4 or IPv6 socket.  IPv6 is
900                   only supported if the getaddrinfo() function is available
901                   at build-time (not the case on Windows, currently).
902                 * purple_prpl_got_media_caps

917                 * pidgin_dialogs_developers (should not be used by anything but Pidgin)

923 version 2.6.6 (02/18/2010):
924         libpurple:
925                 Changed:
926                 * purple_xfer_cancel_local is now called instead of
927                   purple_xfer_request_denied if an error is found when selecting
928                   a file to send. Request denied is still used when a receive
929                   request is not allowed.
930                 * xmlnode_from_str now properly handles parsing an attribute which
931                   contain "<br>", which were previously transformed into a
932                   newline character (libxml2 unescapes all entities except
933                   representations of '&', and libpurple's purple_unescape_html
934                   converts "<br>" to a newline).
936         Perl:
937                 Changed:
938                 * Corrected the package names for the PurpleProxyType and
939                   PurpleLogReadFlags enums to have the correct number of colons
940                   (from Purple::ProxyType::::<type> to Purple::ProxyType::<type>
941                   and Purple::Log:ReadFlags::::<type> to

951         No changes
953 version 2.6.2 (09/05/2009):
954         Perl:
955                 Added:
956                 * Purple::XMLNode::get_next(), which returns the next neighbor tag of
957                   the current node.
958                 Changed:
959                 * Purple::XMLNode::get_child() will return the first child node if
960                   passed "" or undef as the name of the node.
962 version 2.6.1 (08/18/2009):
963         No changes
965 version 2.6.0 (08/18/2009):
966         libpurple:
967                 Added:

969                 * PURPLE_BLIST_NODE
970                 * PURPLE_GROUP
971                 * PURPLE_CONTACT

977                         * account-destroying
978                 * blist-node-added and blist-node-removed signals (see
979                   blist-signals.dox)
980                 * Three Blist UI ops used to overload libpurple's built-in saving
981                   of the buddy list to blist.xml. If a UI implements these, it probably
982                   wants to add the buddies itself and not call purple_blist_load.
983                 * Three File Transfer UI ops used to overload libpurple's use of fread
984                   and fwrite for saving a file locally. These allow a UI to stream a
985                   file through a socket without buffering the file on the local disk.
986                 * Jabber plugin signals (see jabber-signals.dox)
987                 * purple_account_remove_setting

1035                 * xmlnode_from_file
1036                 * xmlnode_get_parent
1037                 * xmlnode_set_attrib_full
1038                 * PURPLE_STATUS_MOOD as a new PurpleStatusPrimitive
1040                 Changed:
1041                 * xmlnode_remove_attrib now removes all attributes with the
1042                   same name.  Previously, it would remove the first one found,
1043                   which was completely non-deterministic.  If you want to remove
1044                   the attribute with no namespace, then use NULL with
1045                   xmlnode_remove_with_namespace.
1046                 * Plugins may now emit the jabber-sending-xmlnode signal in order
1047                   to send stanzas; this method is preferred to the prpl send_raw
1048                   function as other plugins listening to the signal see them.
1049                 * The conversation-updated signal with a PURPLE_CONV_UPDATE_TYPING
1050                   update type is emitted when receiving an IM.  Previously, the
1051                   typing state was modified (and the buddy-typing-stopped signal
1052                   emitted), but this signal was not emitted.
1053                 * Added a client_type field in the get_ui_info core UI op. See
1054                   core.h for details.
1055                 * Added introspection of signals exposed via the D-Bus API.
1056                 * purple_find_buddies is now more efficient in the case where
1057                   it is enumerating all the buddies for an account.
1058                 * purple_find_group is now more efficient for large numbers of groups.
1059                 * purple_find_conversation_with_account is more efficient for large
1060                   numbers of concurrent conversations.
1061                 * All DNS routines support internationalized domain names (IDNs) when
1062                   libpurple is compiled with GNU libidn.
1063                 * status is set before emitting signals in purple_xfer_set_status.
1064                 * Creating multiple distinct chats with the same name (i.e. "MSN Chat")
1065                   is deprecated and will be removed in libpurple 3.0.0.
1066                 * purple_xfer_start now accepts -1 as the fd parameter if the protocol
1067                   plugin will administer the transfer itself. 0 is still accepted for
1068                   backward compatibility since older versions of libpurple will not
1069                   accept -1.
1071                 Deprecated:
1072                 * buddy-added and buddy-removed blist signals
1073                 * purple_blist_destroy
1074                 * purple_blist_new
1075                 * purple_buddy_get_local_alias

1352                 * purple_plugin_disable(), which is intended to be called when
1353                   a purple_plugin_unload()--which was called when a user tried
1354                   to unload a plugin--fails.  This then prevents the plugin
1355                   from being saved in the saved plugins list, so it'll won't
1356                   be loaded at the next startup.

1358                   types of connection error.

1362                   PurpleDisconnectReason.
1363                 * PurpleConnectionUiOps.report_disconnect_reason, to be
1364                   implemented by UIs (rather than .report_disconnect) if
1365                   they want to use the reported PurpleDisconnectReason
1366                   to give a more specific error.
1367                 * A connection-error signal, fired just after the UiOp is
1368                   called with the same information.
1369                 * purple_connection_reason_is_fatal(), acting as a hint
1370                   to whether automatic reconnection should be attempted
1371                   after a connection error (rather than checking
1372                   gc->wants_to_die).
1373                 * PurpleConnectionErrorInfo, a struct to hold a
1374                   PurpleConnectionError and a const char *description.
1375                 * purple_account_get_current_error() to get the most recent
1376                   PurpleConnectionError and description (or NULL if the

1378                   the last error without caching it themselves (as
1379                   PidginBuddyList does).
1380                 * purple_account_clear_current_error() to reset an account's
1381                   error state to NULL.
1382                 * An account-error-changed signal, firing when
1383                   purple_account_get_current_error()'s return value changes.
1385                 * PidginMiniDialog, a Gtk widget-ified version of
1386                   pidgin_make_mini_dialog().
1388                 * purple_util_init()
1389                 * purple_util_uninit()
1391                 * purple_network_listen_map_external() to temporarily disable
1392                   mapping ports externally via NAT-PMP or UPnP.

1395                 * purple_plugin_unload() now honors the return value of a
1396                   plugin's unload function and can actually return FALSE now.
1397                 * purple_plugin_unload() no longer does its own notifications
1398                   when a dependent plugin fails to unload.  The UI should do
1399                   something appropriate.
1401                 * pidgin_make_mini_dialog() now declares its return type to be
1402                   GtkWidget * rather than void *.  This should not break any
1403                   existing code since any code using it must already rely on
1404                   the return type actually being GtkWidget * all along.
1406                 Deprecated:

1522                   (You'll want to change your UI's implementation's signature

1524                   back to the proper type.)

1582                   or freed.
1583                 * purple_presence_add_list now takes a GList* instead of a

2134           should not be many occasions when you want to do this,
2135           as the functions in the blist API that modify the buddy
2136           list will normally call it for you.
