   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.

 771 version 2.7.11 (03/10/2011):
 772         * libpurple:
 773                 Added:
 774                 * Four entries in the GHashTable passed when joining
 775                   an XMPP chat room which allow the UI to request a limited
 776                   amount of history.  See XEP-0045 7.1.16 for details; the
 777                   entries are named history_maxchars, history_maxstanzas,
 778                   history_seconds, and history_since.  history_since must be
 779                   interpretable by purple_str_to_time, and the prpl takes care
 780                   of formatting the time properly.
 781         * Perl:

 815 version 2.7.3 (08/10/2010):
 816         libpurple:
 817                 Fixed:
 818                 * purple_account_[gs]et_public_alias no longer crash when
 819                   called for a protocol that doesn't support the underlying
 820                   calls and the caller does not specify a failure callback.
 821
 822         Perl:
 823                 Added:
 824                 * Exposed log-subsystem signals.
 825
 826         Pidgin:
 827                 Changed:
 828                 * Changing the visibility (gtk_widget_hide/show) of
 829                   the widgets in the GtkIMHtmlToolbar should now affect
 830                   the visibility of the entries in the 'lean' view
 831                   (the default toolbar view).
 832
 833                 Deprecated:

 863                 * purple_buddy_set_media_caps
 864                 * purple_certificates_import for importing multiple

 876                 * PurpleMood struct in status.h
 877                 * purple_network_get_all_local_system_ips, which returns all
 878                   local IPs on the system.  On systems with the getifaddrs()
 879                   function, this will return both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses
 880                   (excluding link-local and loopback addresses).  On others,
 881                   it returns just IPv4 addresses.
 882                 * purple_network_listen_family and
 883                   purple_network_listen_range_family.  These will replace the
 884                   versions without _family in 3.0.0 and allow the caller to
 885                   specifically request either an IPv4 or IPv6 socket.  IPv6 is
 886                   only supported if the getaddrinfo() function is available
 887                   at build-time (not the case on Windows, currently).
 888                 * purple_prpl_got_media_caps

 908
 909 version 2.6.6 (02/18/2010):
 910         libpurple:
 911                 Changed:
 912                 * purple_xfer_cancel_local is now called instead of
 913                   purple_xfer_request_denied if an error is found when selecting
 914                   a file to send. Request denied is still used when a receive
 915                   request is not allowed.
 916                 * xmlnode_from_str now properly handles parsing an attribute which
 917                   contain "&lt;br&gt;", which were previously transformed into a
 918                   newline character (libxml2 unescapes all entities except
 919                   representations of '&', and libpurple's purple_unescape_html
 920                   converts "<br>" to a newline).
 921
 922         Perl:
 923                 Changed:
 924                 * Corrected the package names for the PurpleProxyType and
 925                   PurpleLogReadFlags enums to have the correct number of colons
 926                   (from Purple::ProxyType::::<type> to Purple::ProxyType::<type>
 927                   and Purple::Log:ReadFlags::::<type> to

 940         Perl:
 941                 Added:
 942                 * Purple::XMLNode::get_next(), which returns the next neighbor tag of
 943                   the current node.
 944                 Changed:
 945                 * Purple::XMLNode::get_child() will return the first child node if
 946                   passed "" or undef as the name of the node.

 951 version 2.6.0 (08/18/2009):
 952         libpurple:

 955                 * PURPLE_BLIST_NODE
 956                 * PURPLE_GROUP
 957                 * PURPLE_CONTACT

 964                 * blist-node-added and blist-node-removed signals (see
 965                   blist-signals.dox)
 966                 * Three Blist UI ops used to overload libpurple's built-in saving
 967                   of the buddy list to blist.xml. If a UI implements these, it probably
 968                   wants to add the buddies itself and not call purple_blist_load.
 969                 * Three File Transfer UI ops used to overload libpurple's use of fread
 970                   and fwrite for saving a file locally. These allow a UI to stream a
 971                   file through a socket without buffering the file on the local disk.
 972                 * Jabber plugin signals (see jabber-signals.dox)
 973                 * purple_account_remove_setting

1024                 * PURPLE_STATUS_MOOD as a new PurpleStatusPrimitive
1025
1026                 Changed:
1027                 * xmlnode_remove_attrib now removes all attributes with the
1028                   same name.  Previously, it would remove the first one found,
1029                   which was completely non-deterministic.  If you want to remove
1030                   the attribute with no namespace, then use NULL with
1031                   xmlnode_remove_with_namespace.
1032                 * Plugins may now emit the jabber-sending-xmlnode signal in order
1033                   to send stanzas; this method is preferred to the prpl send_raw
1034                   function as other plugins listening to the signal see them.
1035                 * The conversation-updated signal with a PURPLE_CONV_UPDATE_TYPING
1036                   update type is emitted when receiving an IM.  Previously, the
1037                   typing state was modified (and the buddy-typing-stopped signal
1038                   emitted), but this signal was not emitted.
1039                 * Added a client_type field in the get_ui_info core UI op. See
1040                   core.h for details.
1041                 * Added introspection of signals exposed via the D-Bus API.
1042                 * purple_find_buddies is now more efficient in the case where
1043                   it is enumerating all the buddies for an account.
1044                 * purple_find_group is now more efficient for large numbers of groups.
1045                 * purple_find_conversation_with_account is more efficient for large
1046                   numbers of concurrent conversations.
1047                 * All DNS routines support internationalized domain names (IDNs) when
1048                   libpurple is compiled with GNU libidn.
1049                 * status is set before emitting signals in purple_xfer_set_status.
1050                 * Creating multiple distinct chats with the same name (i.e. "MSN Chat")
1051                   is deprecated and will be removed in libpurple 3.0.0.
1052                 * purple_xfer_start now accepts -1 as the fd parameter if the protocol
1053                   plugin will administer the transfer itself. 0 is still accepted for
1054                   backward compatibility since older versions of libpurple will not
1055                   accept -1.
1056

1333                 * account-authorization signals (see account-signals.dox for
1334                   details) (Stefan Ott)
1335                 * libpurple/purple.h, which includes #define's and #include's
1336                   required to compile stand-alone plugins
1337                 * PURPLE_STATUS_TUNE as a new PurpleStatusPrimitive
1338                 * purple_plugin_disable(), which is intended to be called when
1339                   a purple_plugin_unload()--which was called when a user tried
1340                   to unload a plugin--fails.  This then prevents the plugin
1341                   from being saved in the saved plugins list, so it'll won't
1342                   be loaded at the next startup.
1343                 * PurpleDisconnectReason enumeration of machine-readable
1344                   types of connection error.
1345                 * purple_connection_error_reason(), to be used by prpls
1346                   (instead of purple_connection_error() and setting

1348                   PurpleDisconnectReason.
1349                 * PurpleConnectionUiOps.report_disconnect_reason, to be
1350                   implemented by UIs (rather than .report_disconnect) if
1351                   they want to use the reported PurpleDisconnectReason
1352                   to give a more specific error.
1353                 * A connection-error signal, fired just after the UiOp is
1354                   called with the same information.
1355                 * purple_connection_reason_is_fatal(), acting as a hint
1356                   to whether automatic reconnection should be attempted
1357                   after a connection error (rather than checking
1358                   gc->wants_to_die).
1359                 * PurpleConnectionErrorInfo, a struct to hold a
1360                   PurpleConnectionError and a const char *description.
1361                 * purple_account_get_current_error() to get the most recent
1362                   PurpleConnectionError and description (or NULL if the
1363                   account is happy with life), to allow bits of the UI to know
1364                   the last error without caching it themselves (as
1365                   PidginBuddyList does).
1366                 * purple_account_clear_current_error() to reset an account's
1367                   error state to NULL.
1368                 * An account-error-changed signal, firing when
1369                   purple_account_get_current_error()'s return value changes.
1370
1371                 * PidginMiniDialog, a Gtk widget-ified version of
1372                   pidgin_make_mini_dialog().
1373
1374                 * purple_util_init()
1375                 * purple_util_uninit()
1376
1377                 * purple_network_listen_map_external() to temporarily disable
1378                   mapping ports externally via NAT-PMP or UPnP.
1379
1380                 Changed:
1381                 * purple_plugin_unload() now honors the return value of a
1382                   plugin's unload function and can actually return FALSE now.
1383                 * purple_plugin_unload() no longer does its own notifications
1384                   when a dependent plugin fails to unload.  The UI should do
1385                   something appropriate.
1386
1387                 * pidgin_make_mini_dialog() now declares its return type to be
1388                   GtkWidget * rather than void *.  This should not break any

1506                   deny_cb parameters now correctly have type
1507                   PurpleAccountRequestAuthorizationCb rather than GCallback.
1508                   (You'll want to change your UI's implementation's signature
1509                   to avoid warnings, and then remove some now-redundant casts
1510                   back to the proper type.)

1542                   declares that the returned value must not be modified or

1565                 * purple_request_field_list_set_selected now takes a GList*
1566                   instead of a const GList* for items, as const is not very

1568                   or freed.
1569                 * purple_presence_add_list now takes a GList* instead of a
