15 * Improve sleep behavior by aggregation of longer timeouts on second
16 boundaries to allow better power saving. (Arunan Balasubramaniam)
17 * Fix various crashes on exit.
18 * Make XML parsing more resilient to interactions with other libraries.
19 This, along with the fix for libxml2 bug 564217, fixes the crashes
20 on connect in XMPP with recent gst-plugins-bad (see #8830 for details).
21 * Many security related fixes
24 * Correctly handle WHOIS for users who are joined to a large number of
26 * Notify the user if a /nick command fails, rather than trying

81 update attempts from trampling each other.
82 * Fixed a crash on Windows when removing a buddy's alias.

156 function is called before the buddy list is initialized.
158 * Fix use of av_len in perl bindings to fix some off-by-one bugs
160 * On ICQ, advertise the ICQ 6 typing capability. This should fix
161 the reports of typing notifications not working with third-party
162 clients. (Jaromír Karmazín)
163 * Many QQ fixes and improvements, including the ability to connect
164 using QQ2008 protocol and sending/receiving of long messages.

179 using --with-system-ssl-certs because most systems don't ship
180 those intermediate certificates.

220 resource for us where supported. (Jonathan Sailor)

222 server refuses to provide a resource.
223 * Quit trying to get user info for MUC's. (Paul Aurich)
224 * Send "client-accepts-full-bind-result" attribute during SASL

243 configured command is invalid. (Michael Terry)
246 * On GTK+ 2.14 and higher, we're using the gtk-tooltip-delay setting
247 instead of our own (hidden) tooltip_delay pref. If you had
248 previously changed that pref, add a line like this to
249 ~/.purple/gtkrc-2.0 (where 500 is the timeout (in ms) you want):
250 gtk-tooltip-timeout = 500
251 To completely disable tooltips (e.g. if you had an old
252 tooltip_delay of zero), add this to ~/.purple/gtkrc-2.0:

296 (e.g. xterm-color, screen-linux etc.)
299 * Operations (such as moving to a new group) on contacts that were added

303 * Restored the "Has You" feature to the MSN protocol tooltips.
304 * ADL 205/214/etc errors should no longer prevent login.
307 * Sending and receiving custom smileys using the specification in
308 XEP-0231 (bits of binary) and XHTML-IM
311 * Only send a Ping once every hour. This prevents the account from
312 being disconnected from the server periodically.
314 version 2.5.1 (08/30/2008):

339 Marcus Lundblad, Jorge Villaseñor and other contributors)
340 * Add a configure option, --with-system-ssl-certs to allow packagers
341 to specify a system-wide SSL CA certificates directory. When set,
342 we don't install our SSL CA certs, so it's important that the
343 libpurple package depend on the CA certificates.
344 * Add SSL Certificates support to the NSS SSL plugin. (Thanks to Lou

469 --enable-xxx option is used and the dependencies it requires are
471 * The Evolution integration plugin must now be explicitly enabled. Use
472 the --enable-gevolution argument to configure to enable it.

525 or returning from idle on MySpaceIM.

560 file in the man page for details.
561 * The default keybinding for dump-screen is now M-D and uses a file
562 request dialog. M-d will properly delete-forward-word, and M-f has been
563 fixed to imitate readline's behavior.
564 * New bindings alt+tab and alt+shift+tab to help navigating between the
565 higlighted windows (details on the man page).

598 version 2.3.0 (11/24/2007):
599 http://developer.pidgin.im/query?status=closed&milestone=2.3.0
600 NOTE: Some bugs marked fixed in 2.2.1, 2.2.2 or 2.2.3 may not
601 have been fixed until this release (2.3.0).
604 * Real usernames are now shown in the system log.
605 * We now honor a PURPLE_DISABLE_DEPRECATED define to allow plugins to
606 catch deprecated functions earlier rather than later.
607 * Thanks to a patch from Intel, the Bonjour prpl now supports file
608 transfers using XEP-0096 and XEP-0065. This should enable file
609 transfers between libpurple clients and Gajim clients, but will not
610 work with iChat or Adium as they use a different file transfer
612 * XMPP password changes that return errors no longer cause the saved
613 password to be changed.
614 * XMPP file transfer support has been enhanced to support sending
615 files through a proxy when the server supports discovering a
616 a bytestream proxy. This should make file transfers much more
617 reliable. The next release will add support for manually specifying
618 a proxy when the server doesn't advertise one.
621 * If a plugin says it can't be unloaded, we now display an error and
622 remove the plugin from the list of saved plugins so it won't load
623 at the next startup. Previously, we were ignoring this case, which
624 could lead to crashes.
625 * Mark dialog windows as transient for appropriate parent windows to
626 help window managers do the right thing (Gabriel Schulhof)
627 * Connection errors are now reported in mini-dialogs inside the buddy
628 list, rather than as buttons in the buddy list and with dialog
629 boxes. If several accounts are disabled when you sign on elsewhere,
630 you can now re-enable them all with a single click.
631 * Added tooltips to the Room List window to show full topics
632 * Added buttons in preferences to access GNOME network and browser
633 preferences configuration dialogs when running under GNOME
634 * If you alias a buddy to an alias that is already present within
635 a particular group, we now offer to merge the buddies into the
637 * A music emblem is now displayed in the buddy list for a buddy if we
638 know she is listening to some soothing music.
639 * Added a 'Move to' menu in buddy list context menu for moving buddies
640 to other groups as an alternative to dragging.
641 * Group headings are now marked via an underline instead of a
642 different color background.
643 * It is now possible to mark a chat on your buddy list as "Persistent"
644 so you do not leave the chat when the window or tab is closed.
645 * The auto-join option for chats is now listed in the "Add Chat"
646 dialog along with the new persistence option.
647 * Closing an IM no longer immediately closes your conversation. It
648 will now remain active for a short time so that if the conversation
649 resumes, the history will be retained. A preference has been added
650 to toggle this behavior.
651 * The "Smiley" menu has been moved to the top-level of the toolbar.
652 * Pidgin's display is now saved with the command line for session
653 restoration. (David Mohr)
654 * ICQ Birthday notifications are shown as buddy list emblems.
655 * Plugin actions are now available from the docklet context menu
656 in addition to the Tool menu of the buddy list.
657 * The manual page has been heavily rewritten to bring it in line
658 with current functionality.
661 * If a plugin says it can't be unloaded, we now display an error and
662 remove the plugin from the list of saved plugins so it won't load
663 at the next startup. Previously, we were ignoring this case, which
664 could lead to crashes.
665 * It's possible to bind key-strokes to specific menuitems in the windows.
666 Read the 'Menus' section in the man-page for details.
667 * 'transpose-chars' operation for the entry boxes. The default key-binding
669 * 'yank' operation for the entry boxes. The default binding is ctrl+y.

672 http://developer.pidgin.im/query?status=closed&milestone=2.2.2
673 NOTE: Due to the way this release was made, it is possible that
674 bugs marked as fixed in 2.2.1 or 2.2.2 will not be fixed
675 until the next release.
677 * Various bug and memory leak fixes
678 * Look for a default prefs.xml in the CSIDL_COMMON_APPDATA directory
679 (e.g. c:\Documents and Settings\All Users\
680 Application Data\purple\prefs.xml) on Windows, similarly to
681 how this is done on other platforms.
683 version 2.2.1 (09/29/2007):
684 http://developer.pidgin.im/query?status=closed&milestone=2.2.1
685 NOTE: Due to the backporting that happened for the actual

778 Pidgin and Finch, which use the glib event loop, were changed to use
