1 Pidgin and Finch: The Pimpin' Penguin IM Clients That're Good for the Soul
3 version 2.7.4 (MM/DD/YYYY):
6 * Purple::BuddyList::Chat::get_components
9 * Purple::BuddyList::Chat::new now works properly. Thanks
10 to Rafael in devel@conference.pidgin.im for reporting and
13 version 2.7.3 (08/10/2010):
16 * purple_account_[gs]et_public_alias no longer crash when
17 called for a protocol that doesn't support the underlying
18 calls and the caller does not specify a failure callback.
22 * Exposed log-subsystem signals.
26 * Changing the visibility (gtk_widget_hide/show) of
27 the widgets in the GtkIMHtmlToolbar should now affect
28 the visibility of the entries in the 'lean' view
29 (the default toolbar view).
36 * gnt_tree_row_get_key, gnt_tree_row_get_next,
37 gnt_tree_row_get_prev, gnt_tree_row_get_child and
38 gnt_tree_row_get_parent.
40 version 2.7.2 (07/21/2010):
43 version 2.7.1 (05/29/2010):
46 version 2.7.0 (05/12/2010):
49 * Account signals (see account-signals.dox); useful for D-Bus
52 * account-connection-error
53 * purple_account_get_name_for_display
54 * purple_account_get_privacy_type
55 * purple_account_get_public_alias
56 * purple_account_set_privacy_type
57 * purple_account_set_public_alias
58 * buddy-caps-changed blist signal
59 * Added media_caps to the PurpleBuddy struct
60 * purple_buddy_get_media_caps
61 * purple_buddy_set_media_caps
62 * purple_certificates_import for importing multiple
63 certificates from a single file (and corresponding
64 import_certificates member of PurpleCertificateScheme struct)
65 * autojoin connection signal
66 * purple_contact_get_group
67 * sent-attention conversation signal
68 * got-attention conversation signal
69 * ui-caps-changed media manager signal
70 * purple_media_candidate_copy
71 * purple_media_codec_copy
72 * purple_media_manager_get_backend_type
73 * purple_media_manager_set_backend_type
74 * PurpleMood struct in status.h
75 * purple_network_get_all_local_system_ips, which returns all
76 local IPs on the system. On systems with the getifaddrs()
77 function, this will return both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses
78 (excluding link-local and loopback addresses). On others,
79 it returns just IPv4 addresses.
80 * purple_network_listen_family and
81 purple_network_listen_range_family. These will replace the
82 versions without _family in 3.0.0 and allow the caller to
83 specifically request either an IPv4 or IPv6 socket. IPv6 is
84 only supported if the getaddrinfo() function is available
85 at build-time (not the case on Windows, currently).
86 * purple_prpl_got_media_caps
87 * purple_request_action_with_icon
88 * purple_request_action_with_icon_varg
89 * purple_socket_get_family
90 * purple_socket_speaks_ipv4
91 * purple_unescape_text
93 * purple_xfer_get_thumbnail
94 * purple_xfer_get_thumbnail_mimetype
95 * purple_xfer_set_thumbnail
96 * purple_xfer_prepare_thumbnail
100 * pidgin_dialogs_buildinfo (should not be used by anything but Pidgin)
101 * pidgin_dialogs_developers (should not be used by anything but Pidgin)
102 * pidgin_dialogs_translators (should not be used by anything but Pidgin)
103 * gtk_imhtmltoolbar_switch_active_conversation
104 * 'paste' signal for GtkIMHtml (more in gtkimhtml-signals.dox)
105 * 'drawing-buddy' signal for gtkblist (more in gtkblist-signals.dox)
107 version 2.6.6 (02/18/2010):
110 * purple_xfer_cancel_local is now called instead of
111 purple_xfer_request_denied if an error is found when selecting
112 a file to send. Request denied is still used when a receive
113 request is not allowed.
114 * xmlnode_from_str now properly handles parsing an attribute which
115 contain "<br>", which were previously transformed into a
116 newline character (libxml2 unescapes all entities except
117 representations of '&', and libpurple's purple_unescape_html
118 converts "<br>" to a newline).
122 * Corrected the package names for the PurpleProxyType and
123 PurpleLogReadFlags enums to have the correct number of colons
124 (from Purple::ProxyType::::<type> to Purple::ProxyType::<type>
125 and Purple::Log:ReadFlags::::<type> to
126 Purple::Log::ReadFlags::<type>) (Chris Foote)
128 version 2.6.5 (01/08/2010):
131 version 2.6.4 (11/29/2009):
134 version 2.6.3 (10/16/2009):
137 version 2.6.2 (09/05/2009):
140 * Purple::XMLNode::get_next(), which returns the next neighbor tag of
143 * Purple::XMLNode::get_child() will return the first child node if
144 passed "" or undef as the name of the node.
146 version 2.6.1 (08/18/2009):
149 version 2.6.0 (08/18/2009):
152 * PurpleMedia and PurpleMediaManager API
158 * Account signals (see account-signals.dox)
159 * account-actions-changed
162 * blist-node-added and blist-node-removed signals (see
164 * Three Blist UI ops used to overload libpurple's built-in saving
165 of the buddy list to blist.xml. If a UI implements these, it probably
166 wants to add the buddies itself and not call purple_blist_load.
167 * Three File Transfer UI ops used to overload libpurple's use of fread
168 and fwrite for saving a file locally. These allow a UI to stream a
169 file through a socket without buffering the file on the local disk.
170 * Jabber plugin signals (see jabber-signals.dox)
171 * purple_account_remove_setting
172 * purple_buddy_destroy
173 * purple_buddy_get_protocol_data
174 * purple_buddy_set_protocol_data

182 * purple_chat_destroy
183 * purple_connection_get_protocol_data
184 * purple_connection_set_protocol_data
185 * purple_contact_destroy
186 * purple_conv_chat_invite_user
187 * purple_debug_is_unsafe
188 * purple_debug_is_verbose
189 * purple_debug_set_unsafe
190 * purple_debug_set_verbose
191 * purple_global_proxy_set_info
192 * purple_group_destroy
193 * purple_ipv4_address_is_valid
194 * purple_ipv6_address_is_valid
195 * purple_log_get_activity_score
196 * purple_markup_is_rtl
197 * purple_markup_escape_text

213 * purple_ssl_connect_with_ssl_cn
215 * purple_utf8_strip_unprintables
216 * purple_util_fetch_url_request_len_with_account
217 * purple_xfer_prpl_ready
218 * purple_xfer_ui_ready
221 * xmlnode_set_attrib_full
222 * PURPLE_STATUS_MOOD as a new PurpleStatusPrimitive
225 * xmlnode_remove_attrib now removes all attributes with the
226 same name. Previously, it would remove the first one found,
227 which was completely non-deterministic. If you want to remove
228 the attribute with no namespace, then use NULL with
229 xmlnode_remove_with_namespace.
230 * Plugins may now emit the jabber-sending-xmlnode signal in order
231 to send stanzas; this method is preferred to the prpl send_raw
232 function as other plugins listening to the signal see them.
233 * The conversation-updated signal with a PURPLE_CONV_UPDATE_TYPING
234 update type is emitted when receiving an IM. Previously, the
235 typing state was modified (and the buddy-typing-stopped signal
236 emitted), but this signal was not emitted.
237 * Added a client_type field in the get_ui_info core UI op. See
239 * Added introspection of signals exposed via the D-Bus API.
240 * purple_find_buddies is now more efficient in the case where
241 it is enumerating all the buddies for an account.
242 * purple_find_group is now more efficient for large numbers of groups.
243 * purple_find_conversation_with_account is more efficient for large
244 numbers of concurrent conversations.
245 * All DNS routines support internationalized domain names (IDNs) when
246 libpurple is compiled with GNU libidn.
247 * status is set before emitting signals in purple_xfer_set_status.
248 * Creating multiple distinct chats with the same name (i.e. "MSN Chat")
249 is deprecated and will be removed in libpurple 3.0.0.
250 * purple_xfer_start now accepts -1 as the fd parameter if the protocol
251 plugin will administer the transfer itself. 0 is still accepted for
252 backward compatibility since older versions of libpurple will not
256 * buddy-added and buddy-removed blist signals
257 * purple_blist_destroy
259 * purple_buddy_get_local_alias
260 * purple_certificate_check_signature_chain

285 * gtk_imhtml_set_populate_primary_clipboard
286 * pidgin_blist_set_theme
287 * pidgin_blist_get_theme

292 * pidgin_notify_pounce_add
293 * PidginBlistTheme, PidginBlistThemeLoader API
294 * PidginIconTheme, PidginStatusIconTheme, PidginIconThemeLoader
296 * pidgin_stock_id_from_status_primitive
297 * pidgin_stock_id_from_presence
301 * GntProgressBar and functions (Saleem Abdulrasool)
305 * Purple::XMLNode::get_name()
308 * Made a bunch of functions act more perl-like. Call the new()
309 functions as Class->new(...) instead of Class::new(...):
310 * Purple::Request::Fields::new
311 * Purple::Request::Field::new
312 * Purple::Request::Field::account_new

316 * Purple::Request::Field::label_new
317 * Purple::Request::Field::list_new
318 * Purple::Request::Field::string_new
319 * Purple::Request::Field::group_new
320 * Make the XMLNode API more perl-like. Don't pass len
321 parameters and call them like:
324 * $xmlnode->to_formatted_str()
325 * Purple::XMLNode::from_str(...)

338 version 2.5.5 (03/01/2009):
341 * purple_status_type_new now defaults "saveable" to TRUE.
342 This was necessary in order to maintain the current behavior
343 while fixing non-saveable statuses not to be saved.
344 * xmlnode_get_prefix, xmlnode_to_str and xmlnode_to_formatted_str
345 now all take a const xmlnode* instead of an xmlnode*

350 * Purple::PluginPref->get_bounds no longer takes two integer
351 arguments it now returns two integers.
354 * Removed a handful of string-related utility functions that

373 that the connection supports sending and receiving custom smileys.
374 * PurpleSmiley and the Smiley API.
375 * purple_serv_got_join_chat_failed
376 * chat-join-failed signal (see conversation-signals.dox)

440 * purple_gai_strerror.
441 * purple_major_version, purple_minor_version,
442 purple_micro_version variables are exported by version.h,
443 giving the version of libpurple in use at runtime.
444 * purple_util_set_current_song, purple_util_format_song_info
445 * purple_ip_address_is_valid
446 * Some accessor functions to the Roomlist API:

525 * Added gnt_tree_get_parent_key to get the key for the parent row.
527 version 2.3.0 (11/24/2007):
530 * a PurpleConversation field and an alias field in PurpleConvMessage
531 * account-authorization signals (see account-signals.dox for
532 details) (Stefan Ott)
533 * libpurple/purple.h, which includes #define's and #include's
534 required to compile stand-alone plugins
535 * PURPLE_STATUS_TUNE as a new PurpleStatusPrimitive
536 * purple_plugin_disable(), which is intended to be called when
537 a purple_plugin_unload()--which was called when a user tried
538 to unload a plugin--fails. This then prevents the plugin
539 from being saved in the saved plugins list, so it'll won't
540 be loaded at the next startup.
541 * PurpleDisconnectReason enumeration of machine-readable
542 types of connection error.
543 * purple_connection_error_reason(), to be used by prpls
544 (instead of purple_connection_error() and setting
545 gc->wants_to_die) to report errors along with a
546 PurpleDisconnectReason.
547 * PurpleConnectionUiOps.report_disconnect_reason, to be
548 implemented by UIs (rather than .report_disconnect) if
549 they want to use the reported PurpleDisconnectReason
550 to give a more specific error.
551 * A connection-error signal, fired just after the UiOp is
552 called with the same information.
553 * purple_connection_reason_is_fatal(), acting as a hint
554 to whether automatic reconnection should be attempted
555 after a connection error (rather than checking
557 * PurpleConnectionErrorInfo, a struct to hold a
558 PurpleConnectionError and a const char *description.
559 * purple_account_get_current_error() to get the most recent
560 PurpleConnectionError and description (or NULL if the
561 account is happy with life), to allow bits of the UI to know
562 the last error without caching it themselves (as
563 PidginBuddyList does).
564 * purple_account_clear_current_error() to reset an account's
566 * An account-error-changed signal, firing when
567 purple_account_get_current_error()'s return value changes.
569 * PidginMiniDialog, a Gtk widget-ified version of
570 pidgin_make_mini_dialog().
573 * purple_util_uninit()
575 * purple_network_listen_map_external() to temporarily disable
576 mapping ports externally via NAT-PMP or UPnP.
579 * purple_plugin_unload() now honors the return value of a
580 plugin's unload function and can actually return FALSE now.
581 * purple_plugin_unload() no longer does its own notifications
582 when a dependent plugin fails to unload. The UI should do
583 something appropriate.
585 * pidgin_make_mini_dialog() now declares its return type to be
586 GtkWidget * rather than void *. This should not break any
587 existing code since any code using it must already rely on
588 the return type actually being GtkWidget * all along.
591 * pidgin_dialogs_about()
592 * pidgin_log_show_contact()
594 * pidgin_plugin_dialog_show()
595 * pidgin_pounce_editor_show()
596 * pidgin_pounces_manager_show()
597 * pidgin_syslog_show()
599 * purple_connection_error()
600 * pidgin_blist_update_account_error_state()
601 * PidginBuddyList.connection_errors
602 * purple_network_listen_map_external()
605 * A new independant status type with PURPLE_STATUS_TUNE primitive, and
606 PURPLE_TUNE_ARTIST, PURPLE_TUNE_ALBUM and PURPLE_TUNE_TITLE
610 * A new independant status type with PURPLE_STATUS_TUNE primitive, and
611 PURPLE_TUNE_{ARTIST, TITLE, ALBUM, GENRE, COMMENT, TRACK, TIME,
612 YEAR, URL} attributes.
616 * Added gnt_color_pair, which will try to intelligenty set text
617 attributes in place of colors if the terminal doesn't have color
618 support. (Bug: #3560) All future code should use gnt_color_pair
619 instead of COLOR_PAIR.
620 * Added gnt_menuitem_set_id and gnt_menuitem_get_id to set and get the
621 string id of a menuitem respectively.
622 * Added gnt_window_get_accel_item, which returns a the id of a menuitem
623 bound to a keystroke.
624 * Added gnt_menu_get_item to get a menuitem of the given id from a
626 * Added gnt_menuitem_activate, which triggers the 'activate' signal on
627 the menuitem and calls the callback function, if available.
628 * Added GntEntryKillRing in GntEntry.
629 * Added gnt_window_set_maximize and gnt_window_get_maximize, and
632 version 2.2.2 (??/??/????):
635 * The size parameter of purple_util_write_data_to_file_absolute
636 has been changed to gssize instead of a size_t to correctly
637 indicate that -1 can be used for a nul-delimited string.
638 * The documentation for purple_savedstatuses_get_popular used to
639 incorrectly claim that the active status is excluded from the
640 returned list. The documentation has been corrected. Also, the
641 function now returns a correct list when called with a value of 0.
643 version 2.2.0 (09/13/2007):
646 * PURPLE_MESSAGE_INVISIBLE flag, which can be used by
647 purple_conv_im_send_with_flags to send a message, but not display it
649 * serv_send_attention(), serv_got_attention(), as well as send_attention
650 and attention_types in PurplePluginProtocolInfo. This new API is used
651 for zapping in MySpaceIM, buzzing in Yahoo, and nudging in MSN.
652 * PurpleConvMessage structure to represent a message in a
653 conversation. purple_conversation_message_get_sender,
654 purple_conversation_message_get_message,
655 purple_conversation_message_get_flags and
656 purple_conversation_message_get_timestamp to get information about a
658 * purple_conversation_get_message_history() to retrieve a list of
659 PurpleConvMessage's in a conversation, and
660 purple_conversation_clear_message_history to clear the history.
661 * purple_certificate_* functions in libpurple/certificate.h - "A public-key certificate API"
662 * purple_ssl_get_peer_certificates() and associated field in PurpleSslOps to retrieve a server's presented SSL certificate chain.
663 * PurpleSslConnection::verifier to provide a "how to verify the peer's certificates" callback to the SSL handlers. See certificate.h for more on this.
664 * 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.
667 * purple_prefs_load is now called within purple_prefs_init.
668 The UI no longer needs to call it.
669 * writing-im-msg now receives the conversation name as the who
670 argument if the caller of purple_conversation_write didn't
671 provide a value for who.
675 * pidgin_set_accessible_relations, sets up label-for and labelled-by
676 ATK relations (broken out from pidgin_set_accessible_label)
677 * pidgin_conv_attach_to_conversation, to reattach the Pidgin UI to a
679 * conversation-hiding and conversation-displayed signals.
680 * pidgin_text_combo_box_entry_new, pidgin_text_combo_box_entry_get_text
681 and pidgin_text_combo_box_entry_set_text
684 * pidgin_conversations_fill_menu now also adds a separator and a 'Show
685 All' item if there are more than one conversations in the list.
689 * finch_sound_is_enabled
690 * The reserved field in the FinchConv is now used to store information
691 about the conversation (using FinchConversationFlag)
692 * finch_account_dialog_show

696 fine tuned updates of a GntSlider
697 * gnt_util_parse_xhtml_to_textview to parse XHTML strings in a
698 GntTextView (this works only if libxml2 is available)
700 version 2.1.1 (08/20/2007):
703 * PurpleAccountUiOps.request_authorize's authorize_cb and
704 deny_cb parameters now correctly have type
705 PurpleAccountRequestAuthorizationCb rather than GCallback.
706 (You'll want to change your UI's implementation's signature
707 to avoid warnings, and then remove some now-redundant casts
708 back to the proper type.)
710 version 2.1.0 (7/28/2007):
713 * purple-remote: added getstatus command
714 * conversation-extended-menu signal (See Doxygen docs)
715 * OPT_PROTO_SLASH_COMMANDS_NATIVE protocol option to indicate that
716 slash commands are "native" to the protocol
717 * PURPLE_MESSAGE_NO_LINKIFY message flag to indicate that the message
718 should not be auto-linkified
719 * PurpleEventLoopUiOps.timeout_add_seconds

723 * purple_blist_node_get_type
724 * purple_conversation_do_command
725 * purple_conversation_get_extended_menu
726 * purple_core_ensure_single_instance
727 This is for UIs to use to ensure only one copy is running.
728 * purple_dbus_is_owner
729 * purple_timeout_add_seconds
730 Callers should prefer this to purple_timeout_add for timers
731 longer than 1 second away. Be aware of the rounding, though.
732 * purple_xfer_get_remote_user
733 * purple_pounces_get_all_for_ui
734 * purple_prefs_get_children_names
735 * added displaying-email-notification and
736 displaying-emails-notification signals

741 freed, which was always the case:
742 * purple_accounts_get_all
743 * purple_connections_get_all
744 * purple_connections_get_connecting

763 * purple_request_field_list_set_selected now takes a GList*
764 instead of a const GList* for items, as const is not very
765 useful with GLists. The passed list is still not modified
767 * purple_presence_add_list now takes a GList* instead of a
768 const GList* for source_list, as const is not very useful with
769 GLists. The passed list is still not modified or freed.

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

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

963 to a GaimProxyConnectInfo object which can be used to cancel
964 connection attempts using gaim_proxy_connect_cancel(). Also added

991 for the user information
992 * gaim_buddy_icon_get_scale_size() and was changed to ALWAYS scale
993 the icon instead of only when icon_spec->scale_rules contains
994 GAIM_ICON_SCALE_DISPLAY. Callers should be changed to check the
995 scale_rules before calling this function.

1000 purple_request_choice_varg(), purple_request_action(),
1001 purple_request_action_varg(), purple_request_fields(),
1002 purple_request_yes_no(), purple_request_ok_cancel(),
1003 purple_request_accept_cancel(), purple_request_file(), and
1004 purple_request_folder() was changed to accept account, who, and
1005 conversation parameters for associating the request with an account, a
1006 buddy, or a conversation.
1007 * Significant changes to the buddy icon and imgstore APIs. If you
