1 Pidgin and Finch: The Pimpin' Penguin IM Clients That're Good for the Soul
3 version 2.7.2 (??/??/????):
5 version 2.7.1 (05/29/2010):
8 version 2.7.0 (05/12/2010):
11 * Account signals (see account-signals.dox); useful for D-Bus
14 * account-connection-error
15 * purple_account_get_name_for_display
16 * purple_account_get_privacy_type
17 * purple_account_get_public_alias
18 * purple_account_set_privacy_type
19 * purple_account_set_public_alias
20 * buddy-caps-changed blist signal
21 * Added media_caps to the PurpleBuddy struct
22 * purple_buddy_get_media_caps
23 * purple_buddy_set_media_caps
24 * purple_certificates_import for importing multiple
25 certificates from a single file (and corresponding
26 import_certificates member of PurpleCertificateScheme struct)
27 * autojoin connection signal
28 * purple_contact_get_group
29 * sent-attention conversation signal
30 * got-attention conversation signal
31 * ui-caps-changed media manager signal
32 * purple_media_candidate_copy
33 * purple_media_codec_copy
34 * purple_media_manager_get_backend_type
35 * purple_media_manager_set_backend_type
36 * PurpleMood struct in status.h
37 * purple_network_get_all_local_system_ips, which returns all
38 local IPs on the system. On systems with the getifaddrs()
39 function, this will return both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses
40 (excluding link-local and loopback addresses). On others,
41 it returns just IPv4 addresses.
42 * purple_network_listen_family and
43 purple_network_listen_range_family. These will replace the
44 versions without _family in 3.0.0 and allow the caller to
45 specifically request either an IPv4 or IPv6 socket. IPv6 is
46 only supported if the getaddrinfo() function is available
47 at build-time (not the case on Windows, currently).
48 * purple_prpl_got_media_caps
49 * purple_request_action_with_icon
50 * purple_request_action_with_icon_varg
51 * purple_socket_get_family
52 * purple_socket_speaks_ipv4
53 * purple_unescape_text
55 * purple_xfer_get_thumbnail
56 * purple_xfer_get_thumbnail_mimetype
57 * purple_xfer_set_thumbnail
58 * purple_xfer_prepare_thumbnail
62 * pidgin_dialogs_buildinfo (should not be used by anything but Pidgin)
63 * pidgin_dialogs_developers (should not be used by anything but Pidgin)
64 * pidgin_dialogs_translators (should not be used by anything but Pidgin)
65 * gtk_imhtmltoolbar_switch_active_conversation
66 * 'paste' signal for GtkIMHtml (more in gtkimhtml-signals.dox)
67 * 'drawing-buddy' signal for gtkblist (more in gtkblist-signals.dox)
69 version 2.6.6 (02/18/2010):
72 * purple_xfer_cancel_local is now called instead of
73 purple_xfer_request_denied if an error is found when selecting
74 a file to send. Request denied is still used when a receive
75 request is not allowed.
76 * xmlnode_from_str now properly handles parsing an attribute which
77 contain "<br>", which were previously transformed into a
78 newline character (libxml2 unescapes all entities except
79 representations of '&', and libpurple's purple_unescape_html
80 converts "<br>" to a newline).
84 * Corrected the package names for the PurpleProxyType and
85 PurpleLogReadFlags enums to have the correct number of colons
86 (from Purple::ProxyType::::<type> to Purple::ProxyType::<type>
87 and Purple::Log:ReadFlags::::<type> to
88 Purple::Log::ReadFlags::<type>) (Chris Foote)
90 version 2.6.5 (01/08/2010):
93 version 2.6.4 (11/29/2009):
96 version 2.6.3 (10/16/2009):
99 version 2.6.2 (09/05/2009):
102 * Purple::XMLNode::get_next(), which returns the next neighbor tag of
105 * Purple::XMLNode::get_child() will return the first child node if
106 passed "" or undef as the name of the node.
108 version 2.6.1 (08/18/2009):
111 version 2.6.0 (08/18/2009):
114 * PurpleMedia and PurpleMediaManager API
120 * Account signals (see account-signals.dox)
121 * account-actions-changed
124 * blist-node-added and blist-node-removed signals (see
126 * Three Blist UI ops used to overload libpurple's built-in saving
127 of the buddy list to blist.xml. If a UI implements these, it probably
128 wants to add the buddies itself and not call purple_blist_load.
129 * Three File Transfer UI ops used to overload libpurple's use of fread
130 and fwrite for saving a file locally. These allow a UI to stream a
131 file through a socket without buffering the file on the local disk.
132 * Jabber plugin signals (see jabber-signals.dox)
133 * purple_account_remove_setting
134 * purple_buddy_destroy
135 * purple_buddy_get_protocol_data
136 * purple_buddy_set_protocol_data

144 * purple_chat_destroy
145 * purple_connection_get_protocol_data
146 * purple_connection_set_protocol_data
147 * purple_contact_destroy
148 * purple_conv_chat_invite_user
149 * purple_debug_is_unsafe
150 * purple_debug_is_verbose
151 * purple_debug_set_unsafe
152 * purple_debug_set_verbose
153 * purple_global_proxy_set_info
154 * purple_group_destroy
155 * purple_ipv4_address_is_valid
156 * purple_ipv6_address_is_valid
157 * purple_log_get_activity_score
158 * purple_markup_is_rtl
159 * purple_markup_escape_text
160 * purple_network_convert_idn_to_ascii
161 * purple_network_force_online
162 * purple_network_set_stun_server
163 * purple_network_set_turn_server
164 * purple_network_get_stun_ip
165 * purple_network_get_turn_ip
166 * purple_network_remove_port_mapping
167 * purple_plugins_get_search_paths

175 * purple_ssl_connect_with_ssl_cn
177 * purple_utf8_strip_unprintables
178 * purple_util_fetch_url_request_len_with_account
179 * purple_xfer_prpl_ready
180 * purple_xfer_ui_ready
183 * xmlnode_set_attrib_full
184 * PURPLE_STATUS_MOOD as a new PurpleStatusPrimitive
187 * xmlnode_remove_attrib now removes all attributes with the
188 same name. Previously, it would remove the first one found,
189 which was completely non-deterministic. If you want to remove
190 the attribute with no namespace, then use NULL with
191 xmlnode_remove_with_namespace.
192 * Plugins may now emit the jabber-sending-xmlnode signal in order
193 to send stanzas; this method is preferred to the prpl send_raw
194 function as other plugins listening to the signal see them.
195 * The conversation-updated signal with a PURPLE_CONV_UPDATE_TYPING
196 update type is emitted when receiving an IM. Previously, the
197 typing state was modified (and the buddy-typing-stopped signal
198 emitted), but this signal was not emitted.
199 * Added a client_type field in the get_ui_info core UI op. See
201 * Added introspection of signals exposed via the D-Bus API.
202 * purple_find_buddies is now more efficient in the case where
203 it is enumerating all the buddies for an account.
204 * purple_find_group is now more efficient for large numbers of groups.
205 * purple_find_conversation_with_account is more efficient for large
206 numbers of concurrent conversations.
207 * All DNS routines support internationalized domain names (IDNs) when
208 libpurple is compiled with GNU libidn.
209 * status is set before emitting signals in purple_xfer_set_status.
210 * Creating multiple distinct chats with the same name (i.e. "MSN Chat")
211 is deprecated and will be removed in libpurple 3.0.0.
212 * purple_xfer_start now accepts -1 as the fd parameter if the protocol
213 plugin will administer the transfer itself. 0 is still accepted for
214 backward compatibility since older versions of libpurple will not
218 * buddy-added and buddy-removed blist signals
219 * purple_blist_destroy
221 * purple_buddy_get_local_alias
222 * purple_certificate_check_signature_chain
223 * purple_ip_address_is_valid
224 * purple_notify_user_info_remove_entry

238 * xmlnode_set_attrib_with_prefix
242 * gtk_imhtml_class_register_protocol
243 * gtk_imhtml_link_get_url, gtk_imhtml_link_get_text_tag,
244 gtk_imhtml_link_activate functions to process GtkIMHtmlLink
245 objects from GtkIMHtml protocol callbacks.
246 * gtk_imhtml_set_return_inserts_newline
247 * gtk_imhtml_set_populate_primary_clipboard
248 * pidgin_blist_set_theme
249 * pidgin_blist_get_theme
250 * pidgin_prefs_labeled_password
251 * pidgin_smiley_editor_set_data
252 * pidgin_sound_is_customized
253 * pidgin_utils_init, pidgin_utils_uninit
254 * pidgin_notify_pounce_add
255 * PidginBlistTheme, PidginBlistThemeLoader API
256 * PidginIconTheme, PidginStatusIconTheme, PidginIconThemeLoader
258 * pidgin_stock_id_from_status_primitive
259 * pidgin_stock_id_from_presence
263 * GntProgressBar and functions (Saleem Abdulrasool)
267 * Purple::XMLNode::get_name()
270 * Made a bunch of functions act more perl-like. Call the new()
271 functions as Class->new(...) instead of Class::new(...):
272 * Purple::Request::Fields::new
273 * Purple::Request::Field::new
274 * Purple::Request::Field::account_new
275 * Purple::Request::Field::bool_new
276 * Purple::Request::Field::choice_new

278 * Purple::Request::Field::label_new
279 * Purple::Request::Field::list_new
280 * Purple::Request::Field::string_new
281 * Purple::Request::Field::group_new
282 * Make the XMLNode API more perl-like. Don't pass len
283 parameters and call them like:
286 * $xmlnode->to_formatted_str()
287 * Purple::XMLNode::from_str(...)

297 version 2.5.6 (05/19/2009):
300 version 2.5.5 (03/01/2009):
303 * purple_status_type_new now defaults "saveable" to TRUE.
304 This was necessary in order to maintain the current behavior
305 while fixing non-saveable statuses not to be saved.
306 * xmlnode_get_prefix, xmlnode_to_str and xmlnode_to_formatted_str
307 now all take a const xmlnode* instead of an xmlnode*
309 version 2.5.4 (01/12/2009):
312 * Purple::PluginPref->get_bounds no longer takes two integer
313 arguments it now returns two integers.
316 * Removed a handful of string-related utility functions that
317 can generally be better handled with perl's built-in string
318 functions rather than using pidgin's:

335 that the connection supports sending and receiving custom smileys.
336 * PurpleSmiley and the Smiley API.
337 * purple_serv_got_join_chat_failed
338 * chat-join-failed signal (see conversation-signals.dox)

375 gtk_imhtml_smiley_destroy to deal with GtkIMHtmlSmiley's.
376 * pidgin_pixbuf_from_imgstore to create a GdkPixbuf from a
378 * pidgin_themes_smiley_themeize_custom to associate custom smileys to
380 * GTK_IMHTML_CUSTOM_SMILEY flag for GtkIMHtml.

387 * Purple::timeout_remove.
389 * Purple::timeout_add now returns a handle which can be used
390 to remove the timeout.

398 version 2.4.0 (02/29/2008):
401 * purple_certificate_add_ca_search_path. (Florian Quèze)
402 * purple_gai_strerror.
403 * purple_major_version, purple_minor_version,
404 purple_micro_version variables are exported by version.h,
405 giving the version of libpurple in use at runtime.
406 * purple_util_set_current_song, purple_util_format_song_info
407 * purple_ip_address_is_valid
408 * Some accessor functions to the Roomlist API:

452 pidgin_create_dialog.
453 * GTK_IMHTML_NO_SMILEY for GtkIMHtmlOptions means not to look for

485 * Added gnt_style_get_color to get a color pair from an entry in
487 * Added gnt_tree_get_parent_key to get the key for the parent row.
489 version 2.3.0 (11/24/2007):
492 * a PurpleConversation field and an alias field in PurpleConvMessage
493 * account-authorization signals (see account-signals.dox for
494 details) (Stefan Ott)
495 * libpurple/purple.h, which includes #define's and #include's
496 required to compile stand-alone plugins
497 * PURPLE_STATUS_TUNE as a new PurpleStatusPrimitive
498 * purple_plugin_disable(), which is intended to be called when
499 a purple_plugin_unload()--which was called when a user tried
500 to unload a plugin--fails. This then prevents the plugin
501 from being saved in the saved plugins list, so it'll won't
502 be loaded at the next startup.
503 * PurpleDisconnectReason enumeration of machine-readable
504 types of connection error.
505 * purple_connection_error_reason(), to be used by prpls
506 (instead of purple_connection_error() and setting
507 gc->wants_to_die) to report errors along with a
508 PurpleDisconnectReason.
509 * PurpleConnectionUiOps.report_disconnect_reason, to be
510 implemented by UIs (rather than .report_disconnect) if
511 they want to use the reported PurpleDisconnectReason
512 to give a more specific error.
513 * A connection-error signal, fired just after the UiOp is
514 called with the same information.
515 * purple_connection_reason_is_fatal(), acting as a hint
516 to whether automatic reconnection should be attempted
517 after a connection error (rather than checking
519 * PurpleConnectionErrorInfo, a struct to hold a
520 PurpleConnectionError and a const char *description.
521 * purple_account_get_current_error() to get the most recent
522 PurpleConnectionError and description (or NULL if the
523 account is happy with life), to allow bits of the UI to know
524 the last error without caching it themselves (as
525 PidginBuddyList does).
526 * purple_account_clear_current_error() to reset an account's
528 * An account-error-changed signal, firing when
529 purple_account_get_current_error()'s return value changes.
531 * PidginMiniDialog, a Gtk widget-ified version of
532 pidgin_make_mini_dialog().
535 * purple_util_uninit()
537 * purple_network_listen_map_external() to temporarily disable
538 mapping ports externally via NAT-PMP or UPnP.
541 * purple_plugin_unload() now honors the return value of a
542 plugin's unload function and can actually return FALSE now.
543 * purple_plugin_unload() no longer does its own notifications
544 when a dependent plugin fails to unload. The UI should do
545 something appropriate.
547 * pidgin_make_mini_dialog() now declares its return type to be
548 GtkWidget * rather than void *. This should not break any
549 existing code since any code using it must already rely on
550 the return type actually being GtkWidget * all along.
553 * pidgin_dialogs_about()
554 * pidgin_log_show_contact()
556 * pidgin_plugin_dialog_show()
557 * pidgin_pounce_editor_show()
558 * pidgin_pounces_manager_show()
559 * pidgin_syslog_show()
561 * purple_connection_error()
562 * pidgin_blist_update_account_error_state()
563 * PidginBuddyList.connection_errors
564 * purple_network_listen_map_external()
567 * A new independant status type with PURPLE_STATUS_TUNE primitive, and
568 PURPLE_TUNE_ARTIST, PURPLE_TUNE_ALBUM and PURPLE_TUNE_TITLE
572 * A new independant status type with PURPLE_STATUS_TUNE primitive, and
573 PURPLE_TUNE_{ARTIST, TITLE, ALBUM, GENRE, COMMENT, TRACK, TIME,
574 YEAR, URL} attributes.
578 * Added gnt_color_pair, which will try to intelligenty set text
579 attributes in place of colors if the terminal doesn't have color
580 support. (Bug: #3560) All future code should use gnt_color_pair
581 instead of COLOR_PAIR.
582 * Added gnt_menuitem_set_id and gnt_menuitem_get_id to set and get the
583 string id of a menuitem respectively.
584 * Added gnt_window_get_accel_item, which returns a the id of a menuitem
585 bound to a keystroke.
586 * Added gnt_menu_get_item to get a menuitem of the given id from a
588 * Added gnt_menuitem_activate, which triggers the 'activate' signal on
589 the menuitem and calls the callback function, if available.
590 * Added GntEntryKillRing in GntEntry.
591 * Added gnt_window_set_maximize and gnt_window_get_maximize, and
594 version 2.2.2 (??/??/????):
597 * The size parameter of purple_util_write_data_to_file_absolute
598 has been changed to gssize instead of a size_t to correctly
599 indicate that -1 can be used for a nul-delimited string.
600 * The documentation for purple_savedstatuses_get_popular used to
601 incorrectly claim that the active status is excluded from the
602 returned list. The documentation has been corrected. Also, the
603 function now returns a correct list when called with a value of 0.
605 version 2.2.0 (09/13/2007):
608 * PURPLE_MESSAGE_INVISIBLE flag, which can be used by
609 purple_conv_im_send_with_flags to send a message, but not display it
611 * serv_send_attention(), serv_got_attention(), as well as send_attention
612 and attention_types in PurplePluginProtocolInfo. This new API is used
613 for zapping in MySpaceIM, buzzing in Yahoo, and nudging in MSN.
614 * PurpleConvMessage structure to represent a message in a
615 conversation. purple_conversation_message_get_sender,
616 purple_conversation_message_get_message,
617 purple_conversation_message_get_flags and
618 purple_conversation_message_get_timestamp to get information about a
620 * purple_conversation_get_message_history() to retrieve a list of
621 PurpleConvMessage's in a conversation, and
622 purple_conversation_clear_message_history to clear the history.
623 * purple_certificate_* functions in libpurple/certificate.h - "A public-key certificate API"
624 * purple_ssl_get_peer_certificates() and associated field in PurpleSslOps to retrieve a server's presented SSL certificate chain.
625 * PurpleSslConnection::verifier to provide a "how to verify the peer's certificates" callback to the SSL handlers. See certificate.h for more on this.
626 * 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.
629 * purple_prefs_load is now called within purple_prefs_init.
630 The UI no longer needs to call it.
631 * writing-im-msg now receives the conversation name as the who
632 argument if the caller of purple_conversation_write didn't
633 provide a value for who.
637 * pidgin_set_accessible_relations, sets up label-for and labelled-by
638 ATK relations (broken out from pidgin_set_accessible_label)

641 * conversation-hiding and conversation-displayed signals.
642 * pidgin_text_combo_box_entry_new, pidgin_text_combo_box_entry_get_text
643 and pidgin_text_combo_box_entry_set_text

647 All' item if there are more than one conversations in the list.
651 * finch_sound_is_enabled
652 * The reserved field in the FinchConv is now used to store information
653 about the conversation (using FinchConversationFlag)

660 GntTextView (this works only if libxml2 is available)
662 version 2.1.1 (08/20/2007):
665 * PurpleAccountUiOps.request_authorize's authorize_cb and
666 deny_cb parameters now correctly have type
667 PurpleAccountRequestAuthorizationCb rather than GCallback.
668 (You'll want to change your UI's implementation's signature
669 to avoid warnings, and then remove some now-redundant casts
670 back to the proper type.)
672 version 2.1.0 (7/28/2007):
675 * purple-remote: added getstatus command
676 * conversation-extended-menu signal (See Doxygen docs)
677 * OPT_PROTO_SLASH_COMMANDS_NATIVE protocol option to indicate that
678 slash commands are "native" to the protocol
679 * PURPLE_MESSAGE_NO_LINKIFY message flag to indicate that the message
680 should not be auto-linkified
681 * PurpleEventLoopUiOps.timeout_add_seconds

685 * purple_blist_node_get_type
686 * purple_conversation_do_command
687 * purple_conversation_get_extended_menu
688 * purple_core_ensure_single_instance
689 This is for UIs to use to ensure only one copy is running.
690 * purple_dbus_is_owner
691 * purple_timeout_add_seconds
692 Callers should prefer this to purple_timeout_add for timers
693 longer than 1 second away. Be aware of the rounding, though.
694 * purple_xfer_get_remote_user
695 * purple_pounces_get_all_for_ui
696 * purple_prefs_get_children_names
697 * added displaying-email-notification and
698 displaying-emails-notification signals

726 instead of a const GList* for items, as const is not very
727 useful with GLists. The passed list is still not modified
729 * purple_presence_add_list now takes a GList* instead of a
730 const GList* for source_list, as const is not very useful with
731 GLists. The passed list is still not modified or freed.

786 GList*, as const is not very useful with GLists. The
787 returned value still must not be modified or freed.
788 * Instead of keeping an 'invisible' item, the GntTreeColumns now
789 maintain 'flags' with the appropriate flags set
791 version 2.0.2 (6/14/2007):

800 All gaim_gtk_* functions are now pidgin_*, former libgaim functions are
801 now purple_*. Please consult our doxygen documentation for a complete
804 The gaim-compat.h header exists to provide an API compatibility layer

924 * gaim_proxy_connect(): changed to return NULL on error and a pointer
925 to a GaimProxyConnectInfo object which can be used to cancel
926 connection attempts using gaim_proxy_connect_cancel(). Also added

953 for the user information
954 * gaim_buddy_icon_get_scale_size() and was changed to ALWAYS scale
955 the icon instead of only when icon_spec->scale_rules contains

963 purple_request_action_varg(), purple_request_fields(),
964 purple_request_yes_no(), purple_request_ok_cancel(),
965 purple_request_accept_cancel(), purple_request_file(), and
966 purple_request_folder() was changed to accept account, who, and
967 conversation parameters for associating the request with an account, a
968 buddy, or a conversation.
