24 * Added add_buddy_with_invite to PurplePluginProtocolInfo
25 * Added add_buddies_with_invite to PurplePluginProtocolInfo
26 * Added PurpleSrvTxtQueryUiOps which allow UIs to specify their
27 own mechanisms to resolve SRV and/or TXT queries. It works
28 similar to PurpleDnsQueryUiOps
29 * purple_marshal_BOOLEAN__POINTER_BOOLEAN (kawaii.neko) (#12599)

45 * chat-nick-autocomplete signal (kawaii.neko) (#12599)
47 version 2.7.11 (03/10/2011):
50 * Four entries in the GHashTable passed when joining
51 an XMPP chat room which allow the UI to request a limited
52 amount of history. See XEP-0045 7.1.16 for details; the
53 entries are named history_maxchars, history_maxstanzas,
54 history_seconds, and history_since. history_since must be
55 interpretable by purple_str_to_time, and the prpl takes care
56 of formatting the time properly.
59 * Purple::find_conversation_with_account
60 * Purple::Conversation::Chat::send_with_flags
61 * Purple::Conversation::IM::send_with_flags
63 version 2.7.10 (02/06/2011):
66 version 2.7.9 (12/26/2010):
69 version 2.7.8 (12/19/2010):
72 version 2.7.7 (11/23/2010):
75 version 2.7.6 (11/21/2010):
78 version 2.7.5 (10/31/2010):
81 version 2.7.4 (10/20/2010):
84 * Purple::BuddyList::Chat::get_components
87 * Purple::BuddyList::Chat::new now works properly. Thanks
88 to Rafael in devel@conference.pidgin.im for reporting and
91 version 2.7.3 (08/10/2010):
94 * purple_account_[gs]et_public_alias no longer crash when
95 called for a protocol that doesn't support the underlying
96 calls and the caller does not specify a failure callback.
100 * Exposed log-subsystem signals.
104 * Changing the visibility (gtk_widget_hide/show) of
105 the widgets in the GtkIMHtmlToolbar should now affect
106 the visibility of the entries in the 'lean' view
107 (the default toolbar view).
110 * pidgin_check_if_dir
114 * gnt_tree_row_get_key, gnt_tree_row_get_next,
115 gnt_tree_row_get_prev, gnt_tree_row_get_child and
116 gnt_tree_row_get_parent.
118 version 2.7.2 (07/21/2010):
121 version 2.7.1 (05/29/2010):
124 version 2.7.0 (05/12/2010):
127 * Account signals (see account-signals.dox); useful for D-Bus
130 * account-connection-error
131 * purple_account_get_name_for_display
132 * purple_account_get_privacy_type
133 * purple_account_get_public_alias
134 * purple_account_set_privacy_type
135 * purple_account_set_public_alias
136 * buddy-caps-changed blist signal
137 * Added media_caps to the PurpleBuddy struct
138 * purple_buddy_get_media_caps
139 * purple_buddy_set_media_caps
140 * purple_certificates_import for importing multiple
141 certificates from a single file (and corresponding
142 import_certificates member of PurpleCertificateScheme struct)
143 * autojoin connection signal
144 * purple_contact_get_group
145 * sent-attention conversation signal
146 * got-attention conversation signal
147 * ui-caps-changed media manager signal
148 * purple_media_candidate_copy
149 * purple_media_codec_copy
150 * purple_media_manager_get_backend_type
151 * purple_media_manager_set_backend_type
152 * PurpleMood struct in status.h
153 * purple_network_get_all_local_system_ips, which returns all
154 local IPs on the system. On systems with the getifaddrs()
155 function, this will return both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses
156 (excluding link-local and loopback addresses). On others,
157 it returns just IPv4 addresses.
158 * purple_network_listen_family and
159 purple_network_listen_range_family. These will replace the
160 versions without _family in 3.0.0 and allow the caller to
161 specifically request either an IPv4 or IPv6 socket. IPv6 is
162 only supported if the getaddrinfo() function is available
163 at build-time (not the case on Windows, currently).
164 * purple_prpl_got_media_caps
165 * purple_request_action_with_icon
166 * purple_request_action_with_icon_varg
167 * purple_socket_get_family

171 * purple_xfer_get_thumbnail
172 * purple_xfer_get_thumbnail_mimetype
173 * purple_xfer_set_thumbnail
174 * purple_xfer_prepare_thumbnail
178 * pidgin_dialogs_buildinfo (should not be used by anything but Pidgin)
179 * pidgin_dialogs_developers (should not be used by anything but Pidgin)
180 * pidgin_dialogs_translators (should not be used by anything but Pidgin)
181 * gtk_imhtmltoolbar_switch_active_conversation
182 * 'paste' signal for GtkIMHtml (more in gtkimhtml-signals.dox)
183 * 'drawing-buddy' signal for gtkblist (more in gtkblist-signals.dox)
185 version 2.6.6 (02/18/2010):
188 * purple_xfer_cancel_local is now called instead of
189 purple_xfer_request_denied if an error is found when selecting
190 a file to send. Request denied is still used when a receive
191 request is not allowed.
192 * xmlnode_from_str now properly handles parsing an attribute which
193 contain "<br>", which were previously transformed into a
194 newline character (libxml2 unescapes all entities except
195 representations of '&', and libpurple's purple_unescape_html
196 converts "<br>" to a newline).
200 * Corrected the package names for the PurpleProxyType and
201 PurpleLogReadFlags enums to have the correct number of colons
202 (from Purple::ProxyType::::<type> to Purple::ProxyType::<type>
203 and Purple::Log:ReadFlags::::<type> to
204 Purple::Log::ReadFlags::<type>) (Chris Foote)
206 version 2.6.5 (01/08/2010):
209 version 2.6.4 (11/29/2009):
212 version 2.6.3 (10/16/2009):
215 version 2.6.2 (09/05/2009):
218 * Purple::XMLNode::get_next(), which returns the next neighbor tag of
221 * Purple::XMLNode::get_child() will return the first child node if
222 passed "" or undef as the name of the node.
224 version 2.6.1 (08/18/2009):
227 version 2.6.0 (08/18/2009):
230 * PurpleMedia and PurpleMediaManager API
236 * Account signals (see account-signals.dox)
237 * account-actions-changed
240 * blist-node-added and blist-node-removed signals (see
242 * Three Blist UI ops used to overload libpurple's built-in saving
243 of the buddy list to blist.xml. If a UI implements these, it probably
244 wants to add the buddies itself and not call purple_blist_load.
245 * Three File Transfer UI ops used to overload libpurple's use of fread
246 and fwrite for saving a file locally. These allow a UI to stream a
247 file through a socket without buffering the file on the local disk.
248 * Jabber plugin signals (see jabber-signals.dox)
249 * purple_account_remove_setting
250 * purple_buddy_destroy
251 * purple_buddy_get_protocol_data

261 * purple_connection_get_protocol_data
262 * purple_connection_set_protocol_data
263 * purple_contact_destroy
264 * purple_conv_chat_invite_user
265 * purple_debug_is_unsafe
266 * purple_debug_is_verbose
267 * purple_debug_set_unsafe
268 * purple_debug_set_verbose
269 * purple_global_proxy_set_info
270 * purple_group_destroy
271 * purple_ipv4_address_is_valid
272 * purple_ipv6_address_is_valid
273 * purple_log_get_activity_score

290 * purple_request_field_set_ui_data
291 * purple_ssl_connect_with_ssl_cn
293 * purple_utf8_strip_unprintables
294 * purple_util_fetch_url_request_len_with_account
295 * purple_xfer_prpl_ready
296 * purple_xfer_ui_ready
299 * xmlnode_set_attrib_full
300 * PURPLE_STATUS_MOOD as a new PurpleStatusPrimitive
303 * xmlnode_remove_attrib now removes all attributes with the
304 same name. Previously, it would remove the first one found,
305 which was completely non-deterministic. If you want to remove
306 the attribute with no namespace, then use NULL with
307 xmlnode_remove_with_namespace.
308 * Plugins may now emit the jabber-sending-xmlnode signal in order
309 to send stanzas; this method is preferred to the prpl send_raw
310 function as other plugins listening to the signal see them.
311 * The conversation-updated signal with a PURPLE_CONV_UPDATE_TYPING
312 update type is emitted when receiving an IM. Previously, the
313 typing state was modified (and the buddy-typing-stopped signal
314 emitted), but this signal was not emitted.
315 * Added a client_type field in the get_ui_info core UI op. See
317 * Added introspection of signals exposed via the D-Bus API.
318 * purple_find_buddies is now more efficient in the case where
319 it is enumerating all the buddies for an account.
320 * purple_find_group is now more efficient for large numbers of groups.
321 * purple_find_conversation_with_account is more efficient for large
322 numbers of concurrent conversations.
323 * All DNS routines support internationalized domain names (IDNs) when
324 libpurple is compiled with GNU libidn.
325 * status is set before emitting signals in purple_xfer_set_status.
326 * Creating multiple distinct chats with the same name (i.e. "MSN Chat")
327 is deprecated and will be removed in libpurple 3.0.0.
328 * purple_xfer_start now accepts -1 as the fd parameter if the protocol
329 plugin will administer the transfer itself. 0 is still accepted for
330 backward compatibility since older versions of libpurple will not
334 * buddy-added and buddy-removed blist signals
335 * purple_blist_destroy
337 * purple_buddy_get_local_alias
338 * purple_certificate_check_signature_chain

354 * xmlnode_set_attrib_with_prefix
358 * gtk_imhtml_class_register_protocol
359 * gtk_imhtml_link_get_url, gtk_imhtml_link_get_text_tag,
360 gtk_imhtml_link_activate functions to process GtkIMHtmlLink
361 objects from GtkIMHtml protocol callbacks.
362 * gtk_imhtml_set_return_inserts_newline
363 * gtk_imhtml_set_populate_primary_clipboard
364 * pidgin_blist_set_theme
365 * pidgin_blist_get_theme
366 * pidgin_prefs_labeled_password
367 * pidgin_smiley_editor_set_data
368 * pidgin_sound_is_customized
369 * pidgin_utils_init, pidgin_utils_uninit
370 * pidgin_notify_pounce_add
371 * PidginBlistTheme, PidginBlistThemeLoader API
372 * PidginIconTheme, PidginStatusIconTheme, PidginIconThemeLoader
374 * pidgin_stock_id_from_status_primitive
375 * pidgin_stock_id_from_presence
379 * GntProgressBar and functions (Saleem Abdulrasool)
383 * Purple::XMLNode::get_name()
386 * Made a bunch of functions act more perl-like. Call the new()
387 functions as Class->new(...) instead of Class::new(...):
388 * Purple::Request::Fields::new
389 * Purple::Request::Field::new
390 * Purple::Request::Field::account_new
391 * Purple::Request::Field::bool_new
392 * Purple::Request::Field::choice_new

394 * Purple::Request::Field::label_new
395 * Purple::Request::Field::list_new
396 * Purple::Request::Field::string_new
397 * Purple::Request::Field::group_new
398 * Make the XMLNode API more perl-like. Don't pass len
399 parameters and call them like:
402 * $xmlnode->to_formatted_str()
403 * Purple::XMLNode::from_str(...)

413 version 2.5.6 (05/19/2009):
416 version 2.5.5 (03/01/2009):
419 * purple_status_type_new now defaults "saveable" to TRUE.
420 This was necessary in order to maintain the current behavior
421 while fixing non-saveable statuses not to be saved.
422 * xmlnode_get_prefix, xmlnode_to_str and xmlnode_to_formatted_str
423 now all take a const xmlnode* instead of an xmlnode*
425 version 2.5.4 (01/12/2009):
428 * Purple::PluginPref->get_bounds no longer takes two integer
429 arguments it now returns two integers.
432 * Removed a handful of string-related utility functions that
433 can generally be better handled with perl's built-in string
434 functions rather than using pidgin's:

451 that the connection supports sending and receiving custom smileys.
452 * PurpleSmiley and the Smiley API.
453 * purple_serv_got_join_chat_failed
454 * chat-join-failed signal (see conversation-signals.dox)

514 version 2.4.0 (02/29/2008):
517 * purple_certificate_add_ca_search_path. (Florian Quèze)
518 * purple_gai_strerror.
519 * purple_major_version, purple_minor_version,
520 purple_micro_version variables are exported by version.h,
521 giving the version of libpurple in use at runtime.
522 * purple_util_set_current_song, purple_util_format_song_info

605 version 2.3.0 (11/24/2007):
608 * a PurpleConversation field and an alias field in PurpleConvMessage
609 * account-authorization signals (see account-signals.dox for
610 details) (Stefan Ott)
611 * libpurple/purple.h, which includes #define's and #include's
612 required to compile stand-alone plugins
613 * PURPLE_STATUS_TUNE as a new PurpleStatusPrimitive
614 * purple_plugin_disable(), which is intended to be called when
615 a purple_plugin_unload()--which was called when a user tried
616 to unload a plugin--fails. This then prevents the plugin
617 from being saved in the saved plugins list, so it'll won't
618 be loaded at the next startup.
619 * PurpleDisconnectReason enumeration of machine-readable
620 types of connection error.
621 * purple_connection_error_reason(), to be used by prpls
622 (instead of purple_connection_error() and setting
623 gc->wants_to_die) to report errors along with a
624 PurpleDisconnectReason.
625 * PurpleConnectionUiOps.report_disconnect_reason, to be
626 implemented by UIs (rather than .report_disconnect) if
627 they want to use the reported PurpleDisconnectReason
628 to give a more specific error.
629 * A connection-error signal, fired just after the UiOp is
630 called with the same information.
631 * purple_connection_reason_is_fatal(), acting as a hint
632 to whether automatic reconnection should be attempted
633 after a connection error (rather than checking
635 * PurpleConnectionErrorInfo, a struct to hold a
636 PurpleConnectionError and a const char *description.
637 * purple_account_get_current_error() to get the most recent
638 PurpleConnectionError and description (or NULL if the
639 account is happy with life), to allow bits of the UI to know
640 the last error without caching it themselves (as
641 PidginBuddyList does).
642 * purple_account_clear_current_error() to reset an account's
644 * An account-error-changed signal, firing when
645 purple_account_get_current_error()'s return value changes.
647 * PidginMiniDialog, a Gtk widget-ified version of
648 pidgin_make_mini_dialog().
651 * purple_util_uninit()
653 * purple_network_listen_map_external() to temporarily disable
654 mapping ports externally via NAT-PMP or UPnP.
657 * purple_plugin_unload() now honors the return value of a
658 plugin's unload function and can actually return FALSE now.
659 * purple_plugin_unload() no longer does its own notifications
660 when a dependent plugin fails to unload. The UI should do
661 something appropriate.
663 * pidgin_make_mini_dialog() now declares its return type to be
664 GtkWidget * rather than void *. This should not break any
665 existing code since any code using it must already rely on
666 the return type actually being GtkWidget * all along.
669 * pidgin_dialogs_about()
670 * pidgin_log_show_contact()
672 * pidgin_plugin_dialog_show()

675 * pidgin_syslog_show()
677 * purple_connection_error()
678 * pidgin_blist_update_account_error_state()
679 * PidginBuddyList.connection_errors
680 * purple_network_listen_map_external()
683 * A new independant status type with PURPLE_STATUS_TUNE primitive, and
684 PURPLE_TUNE_ARTIST, PURPLE_TUNE_ALBUM and PURPLE_TUNE_TITLE
688 * A new independant status type with PURPLE_STATUS_TUNE primitive, and
689 PURPLE_TUNE_{ARTIST, TITLE, ALBUM, GENRE, COMMENT, TRACK, TIME,
690 YEAR, URL} attributes.
694 * Added gnt_color_pair, which will try to intelligenty set text
695 attributes in place of colors if the terminal doesn't have color
696 support. (Bug: #3560) All future code should use gnt_color_pair
697 instead of COLOR_PAIR.
698 * Added gnt_menuitem_set_id and gnt_menuitem_get_id to set and get the
699 string id of a menuitem respectively.
700 * Added gnt_window_get_accel_item, which returns a the id of a menuitem
701 bound to a keystroke.
702 * Added gnt_menu_get_item to get a menuitem of the given id from a
704 * Added gnt_menuitem_activate, which triggers the 'activate' signal on
705 the menuitem and calls the callback function, if available.
706 * Added GntEntryKillRing in GntEntry.
707 * Added gnt_window_set_maximize and gnt_window_get_maximize, and
710 version 2.2.2 (10/23/2007):
713 * The size parameter of purple_util_write_data_to_file_absolute
714 has been changed to gssize instead of a size_t to correctly
715 indicate that -1 can be used for a nul-delimited string.
716 * The documentation for purple_savedstatuses_get_popular used to
717 incorrectly claim that the active status is excluded from the
718 returned list. The documentation has been corrected. Also, the
719 function now returns a correct list when called with a value of 0.
721 version 2.2.0 (09/13/2007):
724 * PURPLE_MESSAGE_INVISIBLE flag, which can be used by
725 purple_conv_im_send_with_flags to send a message, but not display it
727 * serv_send_attention(), serv_got_attention(), as well as send_attention
728 and attention_types in PurplePluginProtocolInfo. This new API is used
729 for zapping in MySpaceIM, buzzing in Yahoo, and nudging in MSN.
730 * PurpleConvMessage structure to represent a message in a
731 conversation. purple_conversation_message_get_sender,
732 purple_conversation_message_get_message,
733 purple_conversation_message_get_flags and
734 purple_conversation_message_get_timestamp to get information about a
736 * purple_conversation_get_message_history() to retrieve a list of
737 PurpleConvMessage's in a conversation, and
738 purple_conversation_clear_message_history to clear the history.
739 * purple_certificate_* functions in libpurple/certificate.h - "A public-key certificate API"
740 * purple_ssl_get_peer_certificates() and associated field in PurpleSslOps to retrieve a server's presented SSL certificate chain.
741 * PurpleSslConnection::verifier to provide a "how to verify the peer's certificates" callback to the SSL handlers. See certificate.h for more on this.
742 * 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.
745 * purple_prefs_load is now called within purple_prefs_init.
746 The UI no longer needs to call it.
747 * writing-im-msg now receives the conversation name as the who
748 argument if the caller of purple_conversation_write didn't
749 provide a value for who.
753 * pidgin_set_accessible_relations, sets up label-for and labelled-by
754 ATK relations (broken out from pidgin_set_accessible_label)
755 * pidgin_conv_attach_to_conversation, to reattach the Pidgin UI to a
757 * conversation-hiding and conversation-displayed signals.
758 * pidgin_text_combo_box_entry_new, pidgin_text_combo_box_entry_get_text
759 and pidgin_text_combo_box_entry_set_text
762 * pidgin_conversations_fill_menu now also adds a separator and a 'Show
763 All' item if there are more than one conversations in the list.
767 * finch_sound_is_enabled
768 * The reserved field in the FinchConv is now used to store information
769 about the conversation (using FinchConversationFlag)
770 * finch_account_dialog_show
773 * gnt_slider_set_small_step, gnt_slider_set_large_step to allow more
774 fine tuned updates of a GntSlider
775 * gnt_util_parse_xhtml_to_textview to parse XHTML strings in a
776 GntTextView (this works only if libxml2 is available)
778 version 2.1.1 (08/20/2007):
781 * PurpleAccountUiOps.request_authorize's authorize_cb and
782 deny_cb parameters now correctly have type
783 PurpleAccountRequestAuthorizationCb rather than GCallback.
784 (You'll want to change your UI's implementation's signature
785 to avoid warnings, and then remove some now-redundant casts
786 back to the proper type.)
788 version 2.1.0 (7/28/2007):
791 * purple-remote: added getstatus command
792 * conversation-extended-menu signal (See Doxygen docs)
793 * OPT_PROTO_SLASH_COMMANDS_NATIVE protocol option to indicate that
794 slash commands are "native" to the protocol
795 * PURPLE_MESSAGE_NO_LINKIFY message flag to indicate that the message
796 should not be auto-linkified
797 * PurpleEventLoopUiOps.timeout_add_seconds
798 UIs can now use better scheduling for whole-second timers. For
799 example, clients based on the glib event loop can now use
800 g_timeout_add_seconds.
801 * purple_blist_node_get_type
802 * purple_conversation_do_command
803 * purple_conversation_get_extended_menu
804 * purple_core_ensure_single_instance
805 This is for UIs to use to ensure only one copy is running.
806 * purple_dbus_is_owner
807 * purple_timeout_add_seconds
808 Callers should prefer this to purple_timeout_add for timers
809 longer than 1 second away. Be aware of the rounding, though.
810 * purple_xfer_get_remote_user
811 * purple_pounces_get_all_for_ui
812 * purple_prefs_get_children_names
813 * added displaying-email-notification and
814 displaying-emails-notification signals
817 * The documentation of the following functions now properly
818 declares that the returned value must not be modified or
819 freed, which was always the case:
820 * purple_accounts_get_all
821 * purple_connections_get_all
822 * purple_connections_get_connecting
823 * purple_conv_chat_get_ignored
824 * purple_conv_chat_get_users
826 * purple_get_conversations
828 * purple_notify_user_info_get_entries
829 * The following functions now return a GList* instead of a

833 * purple_mime_document_get_fields
834 * purple_mime_document_get_parts

840 * purple_presence_get_statuses
841 * purple_request_field_list_set_selected now takes a GList*
842 instead of a const GList* for items, as const is not very
843 useful with GLists. The passed list is still not modified
845 * purple_presence_add_list now takes a GList* instead of a
846 const GList* for source_list, as const is not very useful with
847 GLists. The passed list is still not modified or freed.

898 * gnt_util_set_trigger_widget
901 * gnt_tree_get_rows() now returns a GList* instead of a const
902 GList*, as const is not very useful with GLists. The
903 returned value still must not be modified or freed.
904 * Instead of keeping an 'invisible' item, the GntTreeColumns now
905 maintain 'flags' with the appropriate flags set
907 version 2.0.2 (6/14/2007):
910 * pidgin_dialogs_alias_contact: This will be removed in 3.0.0
911 unless there is sufficient demand to keep it.

915 re-namespaced to match the new names of Pidgin, Finch, and libpurple.
916 All gaim_gtk_* functions are now pidgin_*, former libgaim functions are
917 now purple_*. Please consult our doxygen documentation for a complete
920 The gaim-compat.h header exists to provide an API compatibility layer
921 for libpurple functions. As an API compatibility layer, it must be
922 included at compile time to be of use.
925 * All the status stuff. Yay!
926 * gaim_prefs_connect_callback(), added handle parameter
927 * gtk_imhtml_toolbar now descends from GtkHBox making it easier to add your

936 the buddy to the server-side buddy list of the given account.
937 * gaim_connection_new, gaim_account_connect and gaim_account_register no
938 longer return a GaimConnection

981 Changed ssize_t to gssize
982 * serv_got_im, serv_got_chat_in, serv_send_im and serv_chat_send all use
983 GaimMessageFlags instead of GaimConvImFlags / GaimConvChatFlags
984 * All core<->prpl message passing now uses html. This was previously true
985 for receiving messages, it's now also true for sending them. prpls that

990 gaim_notify_searchresults_get_columns_count: return type now guint
991 * gaim_account_notify_added: No longer checks if there is a

993 documentation for this function and gaim_account_request_add.
994 * gaim_accounts_reorder: new_index is now a gint instead of a size_t
995 * displaying-message signals: displaying-[im|chat]-msg and
996 displayed-[im|chat]-msg signals are emitted for all messages
997 (ie, for received messages, sent messages, system messages, error

999 gaim_gtk_conversations_get_handle() for their handle.
1000 * GAIM_NOTIFY_BUTTON_ADD_BUDDY to GAIM_NOTIFY_BUTTON_ADD
1001 * conversation-switched: This signal has been moved from conversation to
1002 the UI and the signal-handlers only receive the
1003 conversation that has been switched to.

1016 * GaimPrefCallback: val is now a gconstpointer instead of a gpointer
1017 * gtk_imhtml_get_current_format(): the arguments are now set to TRUE or

1026 * gaim_plugin_pref_new_with_name(): name is now const char *
1027 * gaim_plugin_pref_new_with_label(): label is now const char *

1036 * struct proto_chat_entry: identifier is now const char *
1037 * All network activity has been updated to use non-blocking sockets.
1038 This means that plugins must be updated to expect such a socket from
1039 gaim_proxy_connect() and gaim_network_listen*().
1040 * gaim_proxy_connect(): changed to return NULL on error and a pointer
1041 to a GaimProxyConnectInfo object which can be used to cancel
1042 connection attempts using gaim_proxy_connect_cancel(). Also added
1043 a 'handle' parameter that can be used to cancel the connection
1044 attempt using gaim_proxy_connect_cancel_with_handle().
1045 * gaim_gethostbyname_async(): Renamed to gaim_dnsquery_a() and

1047 used to cancel the pending DNS query using gaim_dnsquery_destroy()
1048 * gaim_url_fetch(): Renamed to gaim_util_fetch_url() and changed
1049 to return a pointer to a data structure that can be used to cancel
1050 the pending HTTP request using gaim_util_fetch_url_cancel().
1051 Corresponding callback has changed to accept this data structure
1052 as its first argument, and to accept an error message as an
1053 additional final argument.
1054 * gaim_gtk_create_imhtml(): Added sw_ret() parameter
1055 * gaim_account_get_log(): Added create parameter
1056 * GAIM_CMD_P_VERYHIGH is now GAIM_CMD_P_VERY_HIGH

1059 * gaim_gtkxfer_dialog_show: Can now take NULL to show (and possibly
1060 create) a default gtkxfer dialog.
1061 * CHAT_USERS_BUDDY_COLUMN became CHAT_USERS_WEIGHT_COLUMN, along with
1062 a change in the values stored in the column.
1063 * gaim_find_buddies() returns a list of all buddies in the account if name
1065 * gaim_gtk_set_custom_buddy_icon() sets custom icon for a user.
1066 * Hid the definition of _GaimStringref, which already had a warning to
1067 avoid accessing it directly.
1068 * notify_userinfo() UI op is passed a GaimNotifyUserInfo instead of a char*
1069 for the user information
1070 * gaim_buddy_icon_get_scale_size() and was changed to ALWAYS scale
1071 the icon instead of only when icon_spec->scale_rules contains
1072 GAIM_ICON_SCALE_DISPLAY. Callers should be changed to check the
1073 scale_rules before calling this function.
1074 * gaim_gtk_buddy_icon_get_scale_size() was changed to accept an
1075 additional parameter which is used to determine what kind of
1076 scaling should be done, if any.
1077 * purple_request_input(), purple_request_choice(),
1078 purple_request_choice_varg(), purple_request_action(),
1079 purple_request_action_varg(), purple_request_fields(),
1080 purple_request_yes_no(), purple_request_ok_cancel(),
1081 purple_request_accept_cancel(), purple_request_file(), and
1082 purple_request_folder() was changed to accept account, who, and
1083 conversation parameters for associating the request with an account, a
1084 buddy, or a conversation.
1085 * Significant changes to the buddy icon and imgstore APIs. If you
1086 were using any of it, it's best to look at the header files or
1087 Doxygen documentation, but here are some significant changes:
1088 purple_buddy_icon_new() now takes ownership of ("frees") icon_data
1089 purple_buddy_icon_set_data(): likewise for data
1090 purple_buddy_icon_set_for_user(): likewise for data

1107 * gaim_chat_get_display_name
1108 * gaim_conversation_set_history, gaim_conversation_get_history, and
