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.

752 version 2.7.11 (03/10/2011):
753         * libpurple:
754                 Added:
755                 * Four entries in the GHashTable passed when joining
756                   an XMPP chat room which allow the UI to request a limited
757                   amount of history.  See XEP-0045 7.1.16 for details; the
758                   entries are named history_maxchars, history_maxstanzas,
759                   history_seconds, and history_since.  history_since must be
760                   interpretable by purple_str_to_time, and the prpl takes care
761                   of formatting the time properly.

794                   testing.
796 version 2.7.3 (08/10/2010):
797         libpurple:
798                 Fixed:
799                 * purple_account_[gs]et_public_alias no longer crash when
800                   called for a protocol that doesn't support the underlying
801                   calls and the caller does not specify a failure callback.
803         Perl:
804                 Added:
805                 * Exposed log-subsystem signals.
807         Pidgin:
808                 Changed:
809                 * Changing the visibility (gtk_widget_hide/show) of
810                   the widgets in the GtkIMHtmlToolbar should now affect
811                   the visibility of the entries in the 'lean' view

857                 * PurpleMood struct in status.h
858                 * purple_network_get_all_local_system_ips, which returns all
859                   local IPs on the system.  On systems with the getifaddrs()
860                   function, this will return both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses
861                   (excluding link-local and loopback addresses).  On others,
862                   it returns just IPv4 addresses.
863                 * purple_network_listen_family and
864                   purple_network_listen_range_family.  These will replace the
865                   versions without _family in 3.0.0 and allow the caller to
866                   specifically request either an IPv4 or IPv6 socket.  IPv6 is
867                   only supported if the getaddrinfo() function is available
868                   at build-time (not the case on Windows, currently).

890 version 2.6.6 (02/18/2010):
891         libpurple:
892                 Changed:
893                 * purple_xfer_cancel_local is now called instead of
894                   purple_xfer_request_denied if an error is found when selecting
895                   a file to send. Request denied is still used when a receive
896                   request is not allowed.
897                 * xmlnode_from_str now properly handles parsing an attribute which
898                   contain "<br>", which were previously transformed into a
899                   newline character (libxml2 unescapes all entities except
900                   representations of '&', and libpurple's purple_unescape_html
901                   converts "<br>" to a newline).
903         Perl:
904                 Changed:
905                 * Corrected the package names for the PurpleProxyType and
906                   PurpleLogReadFlags enums to have the correct number of colons
907                   (from Purple::ProxyType::::<type> to Purple::ProxyType::<type>

920 version 2.6.2 (09/05/2009):
921         Perl:
922                 Added:
923                 * Purple::XMLNode::get_next(), which returns the next neighbor tag of
924                   the current node.
925                 Changed:
926                 * Purple::XMLNode::get_child() will return the first child node if
927                   passed "" or undef as the name of the node.
929 version 2.6.1 (08/18/2009):
930         No changes
932 version 2.6.0 (08/18/2009):
933         libpurple:

938                 * PURPLE_CONTACT

945                 * blist-node-added and blist-node-removed signals (see
946                   blist-signals.dox)
947                 * Three Blist UI ops used to overload libpurple's built-in saving
948                   of the buddy list to blist.xml. If a UI implements these, it probably
949                   wants to add the buddies itself and not call purple_blist_load.
950                 * Three File Transfer UI ops used to overload libpurple's use of fread
951                   and fwrite for saving a file locally. These allow a UI to stream a
952                   file through a socket without buffering the file on the local disk.
953                 * Jabber plugin signals (see jabber-signals.dox)

1004                 * xmlnode_set_attrib_full
1005                 * PURPLE_STATUS_MOOD as a new PurpleStatusPrimitive
1007                 Changed:
1008                 * xmlnode_remove_attrib now removes all attributes with the
1009                   same name.  Previously, it would remove the first one found,
1010                   which was completely non-deterministic.  If you want to remove
1011                   the attribute with no namespace, then use NULL with
1012                   xmlnode_remove_with_namespace.
1013                 * Plugins may now emit the jabber-sending-xmlnode signal in order
1014                   to send stanzas; this method is preferred to the prpl send_raw
1015                   function as other plugins listening to the signal see them.
1016                 * The conversation-updated signal with a PURPLE_CONV_UPDATE_TYPING
1017                   update type is emitted when receiving an IM.  Previously, the
1018                   typing state was modified (and the buddy-typing-stopped signal
1019                   emitted), but this signal was not emitted.
1020                 * Added a client_type field in the get_ui_info core UI op. See
1021                   core.h for details.
1022                 * Added introspection of signals exposed via the D-Bus API.
1023                 * purple_find_buddies is now more efficient in the case where
1024                   it is enumerating all the buddies for an account.
1025                 * purple_find_group is now more efficient for large numbers of groups.
1026                 * purple_find_conversation_with_account is more efficient for large
1027                   numbers of concurrent conversations.
1028                 * All DNS routines support internationalized domain names (IDNs) when
1029                   libpurple is compiled with GNU libidn.
1030                 * status is set before emitting signals in purple_xfer_set_status.
1031                 * Creating multiple distinct chats with the same name (i.e. "MSN Chat")
1032                   is deprecated and will be removed in libpurple 3.0.0.
1033                 * purple_xfer_start now accepts -1 as the fd parameter if the protocol
1034                   plugin will administer the transfer itself. 0 is still accepted for
1035                   backward compatibility since older versions of libpurple will not
1036                   accept -1.
1038                 Deprecated:
1039                 * buddy-added and buddy-removed blist signals

1061         pidgin:
1062                 Added:
1063                 * gtk_imhtml_class_register_protocol
1064                 * gtk_imhtml_link_get_url, gtk_imhtml_link_get_text_tag,
1065                   gtk_imhtml_link_activate functions to process GtkIMHtmlLink
1066                   objects from GtkIMHtml protocol callbacks.

1320                   a purple_plugin_unload()--which was called when a user tried
1321                   to unload a plugin--fails.  This then prevents the plugin
1322                   from being saved in the saved plugins list, so it'll won't
1323                   be loaded at the next startup.

1325                   types of connection error.

1329                   PurpleDisconnectReason.
1330                 * PurpleConnectionUiOps.report_disconnect_reason, to be
1331                   implemented by UIs (rather than .report_disconnect) if

1333                   to give a more specific error.
1334                 * A connection-error signal, fired just after the UiOp is
1335                   called with the same information.
1336                 * purple_connection_reason_is_fatal(), acting as a hint
1337                   to whether automatic reconnection should be attempted
1338                   after a connection error (rather than checking
1339                   gc->wants_to_die).
1340                 * PurpleConnectionErrorInfo, a struct to hold a
1341                   PurpleConnectionError and a const char *description.
1342                 * purple_account_get_current_error() to get the most recent
1343                   PurpleConnectionError and description (or NULL if the

1345                   the last error without caching it themselves (as
1346                   PidginBuddyList does).
1347                 * purple_account_clear_current_error() to reset an account's
1348                   error state to NULL.
1349                 * An account-error-changed signal, firing when
1350                   purple_account_get_current_error()'s return value changes.
1352                 * PidginMiniDialog, a Gtk widget-ified version of
1353                   pidgin_make_mini_dialog().
1355                 * purple_util_init()
1356                 * purple_util_uninit()
1358                 * purple_network_listen_map_external() to temporarily disable
1359                   mapping ports externally via NAT-PMP or UPnP.

1362                 * purple_plugin_unload() now honors the return value of a
1363                   plugin's unload function and can actually return FALSE now.
1364                 * purple_plugin_unload() no longer does its own notifications
1365                   when a dependent plugin fails to unload.  The UI should do
1366                   something appropriate.
1368                 * pidgin_make_mini_dialog() now declares its return type to be
1369                   GtkWidget * rather than void *.  This should not break any
1370                   existing code since any code using it must already rely on
1371                   the return type actually being GtkWidget * all along.
1373                 Deprecated:
1374                 * pidgin_dialogs_about()

1400                   attributes in place of colors if the terminal doesn't have color
1401                   support. (Bug: #3560) All future code should use gnt_color_pair
1402                   instead of COLOR_PAIR.
1403                 * Added gnt_menuitem_set_id and gnt_menuitem_get_id to set and get the
1404                   string id of a menuitem respectively.
1405                 * Added gnt_window_get_accel_item, which returns a the id of a menuitem
1406                   bound to a keystroke.

1408                   menu.
1409                 * Added gnt_menuitem_activate, which triggers the 'activate' signal on

1412                 * Added gnt_window_set_maximize and gnt_window_get_maximize, and

1489                   (You'll want to change your UI's implementation's signature
