ChangeLog:
version 2.6.2 (09/05/2009):
libpurple:
* Fix --disable-avahi to actually disable it in configure, as opposed
to just making the warning non-fatal.
* Fix using GNOME proxy settings properly. (Erik van Pienbroek)
IRC:
* Fix parsing of invalid TOPIC messages. (CVE-2009-2703)
MSN:
* Sending custom smileys in chats is now supported.

* Fix a crash when receiving certain SLP invite messages.
* Chats with multiple people should no longer spontaneously
disconnect.
XMPP:

* Fix connecting to XMPP domains with no SRV records from Pidgin on
Windows.
* Fix typing notifications with Pidgin 2.5.9 or earlier.
* Fix connecting using BOSH and legacy authentication (XEP-0078).
* Adding buddies of the form "romeo@xxxxxxxxxxxx/Resource" are handled
properly. In addition, it is no longer possible to add buddies of
the form "room@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/User", where
room@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx is a MUC.
* Don't crash when receiving "smileyfied" XHTML-IM from clients that don't
support bits of binary (ie. when getting an empty in return)
* Fix bug where SSL/TLS was not required even though the
"require SSL/TLS" preference checked when connecting to servers
that use the older iq-based authentication. (CVE-2009-3026)
Yahoo!/Yahoo! JAPAN:
* Accounts now have "Use account proxy for SSL connections" option. This
option force-overrides the account specific proxy settings for SSL
connections only and instead uses the global proxy configuration.
Finch:
* Properly detect libpanel on OpenBSD. (Brad Smith)
* Remove IO watches in gnt_quit. (Tomasz Mon)
Pidgin:
* Fix the auto-personize functionality in the Buddy List.
* Set the window icon for the media window to an icon corresponding to
the type of call (headphone or webcam).
* Customized sound files are no longer reset whenever opening the
Preferences dialog.
* The buddy list should now immediately refresh upon changing the icon
theme.
version 2.6.1 (08/18/2009):
* Fix a crash when some users send you a link in a Yahoo IM
* Fix compilation with GTK+ * Fix compilation on Windows
version 2.6.0 (08/18/2009):
libpurple:
* Theme support in libpurple thanks to Justin Rodriguez's summer of code
project, with some minor additions and cleanups from Paul Aurich.
* Voice & Video framework in libpurple, thanks to Mike Ruprecht's summer
of code project in 2008.
* It should no longer be possible to end up with duplicates of buddies
in a group on the buddy list.
* Removed the unmaintained and unneeded toc protocol plugin.
* Fixed NTLM authentication on big-endian systems.
* Various memory cleanups when unloading libpurple. (Nick Hebner and
Stefan Becker)
* Report idle time 'From last message sent' should work properly.
* Better handling of corrupt certificates in the TLS Peers cache.
* More efficient buddy list and conversation search functions.
(Jan Kaluza and Aman Gupta)
* Install scalable versions of the main Pidgin icon, the protocol icons,
the dialog icons, and the Buddy List emblems.
* Build properly on Hurd. (Marc Dequènes)
* Various memory leaks fixed as reported by Josh Mueller.
* Properly handle an IRC buddy appearing in multiple groups.
* Escape HTML entities in usernames when written with the HTML logger.
* Do not display MySpace status changes as incoming IMs. (Mark Doliner and
Justin Williams)
DNS:
* DNS servers are re-read when DNS queries fail in case the system has
moved to a new network and the old servers are not accessible.
* DNS SRV records with equal priority are sorted with respect to their
weight as specified in RFC 2782. (Vijay Raghunathan)
* Don't do IPv6 address lookups if the computer does not have an IPv6
address configured.

* Internationalized Domain Names are supported when libpurple is compiled
against the GNU IDN library.
Environment Variables:
* GnuTLS logging (disabled by default) can be controlled through the
PURPLE_GNUTLS_DEBUG environment variable, which is an integer between
0 and 9 (higher is more verbose). Higher values may reveal sensitive
information.
* PURPLE_VERBOSE_DEBUG environment variable. Currently, this is an "on" or
"off" variable. Set it to any value to turn it on and unset it to turn
it off. This will optionally be used to only show less useful debug
information on an as-needed basis.
* PURPLE_LEAKCHECK_HELP environment variable. Currently, this is an "on"
or "off" variable. Set it to any value to turn it on and unset it to
turn it off. This will be used to perform various actions that are
useful when running libpurple inside of Valgrind or similar programs.
Currently, it keeps plugins in memory, allowing Valgrind to perform
symbol resolution of leak traces at shutdown.
AIM and ICQ:
* Preliminary support for a new authentication scheme called
"clientLogin."
* Fixed a bug where your away message sometimes would not get set when
you first sign on.

authorization
from them on MSN.
* Timeout switchboard connections aggressively (60 seconds).
XMPP:
* Voice & Video support with Jingle (XEP-0166, 0167, 0176, & 0177), voice
support with GTalk and voice and video support with the GMail web
client. (Mike "Maiku" Ruprecht)
* Added a Service Discovery Browser plugin for Pidgin. (Andrei Mozzhuhin)
* Support for in-band bytestreams for file transfers (XEP-0047). (Marcus
Lundblad)

and "nudge") using the command /buzz. (XEP-0224)
* Support for connecting using BOSH. (Tobias Markmann)
* A buddy's local time is displayed in the Get Info dialog if the remote
client supports it.

from sent messages.
* XHTML markup is only included in outgoing messages when the message
contains formatting.
* Show when the user was last logged in when doing "Get Info" on an offline
buddy, provided the server supports it.
* Support custom smileys in MUCs (only when all participants support the
"Bits of Binary" extension, and a maximum of 10 participants are in the
chat to avoid getting too many fetch requests).
* Fix an issue with Jabber (pre-XMPP) servers and the user's preference
to require SSL not being respected.
* Fix an issue where Cyrus SASL DIGEST MD5 authentication might fail if
the username, password, or realm (the JID domain) contain non-ASCII
characters.
* Show emblem for mobile, handheld, and web clients and bots (if the other
client supports it).
* Google Talk mail notifications should now work for people for whom they
inexplicably did not. (Thanks to yukam for determining the reason)

normalization of Jabber IDs. When unavailable, internal routines are
used (as in previous versions).
* Topics that contain ' be set properly.
Yahoo!/Yahoo! JAPAN:
* P2P file transfers. (Sulabh Mahajan)

'msn/buddy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx' is now supported. (Sulabh Mahajan)
* Further fixes for buddy pictures, aliases, etc.
* Yahoo! and Yahoo! JAPAN are now two separate protocol plugins that share
common protocol code. You can now have the same account on both
networks. Accounts should be seamlessly migrated to the new
arrangement.

buddylist.
Pidgin:
* Added -f command line option to tell Pidgin to ignore NetworkManager
and assume it has a valid network connection.
* Allow plugins to specify custom link types to the GtkIMHtml widget.
* The status message input box at the bottom of the buddy list expands
correctly when starting a new line of text.
* Pressing the Enter key in the message entry box of the New Status
dialog and various other dialogs now causes the cursor to move to
the next line.
* Created a unified Buddy Pounce notification window for all pounces
where "Pop up a notification" is selected, which avoids having a
new dialog box every time a pounce is triggered. (Jorge Villaseñor)

configuration has been moved from the Advanced tab to the new tab.
* Dragging a buddy onto a chat pops up a chat-invitation dialog.

especially for users of braille terminals, screen readers etc.
* Added a TinyURL plugin, which aids copying longer URLs.
* Fixed UTF-8 compatibility problems which could cause exits or other
unrequested behaviour.

MSN:
* Increase NS command history size to prevent crashes on buddy lists that
have a lot of buddies on other networks like Yahoo!.
MySpace:
* Accounts with empty buddy lists are now properly marked as connected.
* Fix receiving messages from users of MySpace's web IM client.
Yahoo:

user empties the field or if it is scs.msg.yahoo.com. This should ease
the pain of transition to the new login method.
XMPP:

version 2.5.7 (06/20/2009):
* Yahoo Protocol 16 support, including new HTTPS login method; this should

IRC:
* Correctly handle WHOIS for users who are joined to a large number of
channels.
* Notify the user if a /nick command fails, rather than trying
fallback nicks.
MSN:
* Fix a race condition causing occasional Pidgin crashes.

enable, check the "Use SSL" option from the Advanced tab when
editing your AIM or ICQ account. (Paul Aurich)
* Fix a memory leak in SILC. (Luke Petre)
* Fix some string handling in the SIMPLE prpl, which fixes some buddy name
handling and other issues. (Paul Aurich, Marcus Sundberg)

every signin. You may need to remove duplicates in the Address
Book. See the FAQ for more information. Thanks to Jason Lingohr
for lots of debugging and testing.
* Messages from Yahoo! buddies are no longer silently dropped.
* We now save and use the CacheKey for ABCH SOAP requests.
* Don't try to parse Personal Status Messages or Current Media if they
don't exist.
* Convert from ISO-8859-1 encoding to UTF-8 when no charset is specified
on incoming messages. This should fix some issues with messages from
older clients.

a font already.
* Queue callbacks when token updates are in progress to prevent two token
update attempts from trampling each other.
* Fixed a crash on Windows when removing a buddy's alias.

prevents seeing an outdated alias or not seeing an alias at all for
buddies who are offline when you sign in.
* Update tokens for FindMembership and ABFindAll SOAP requests.
* We no longer try to send empty messages. This could happen when a
message contained only formatting and that formatting was not supported
on MSN.

removed from the Allow list. Users with this problem will now no
longer receive an ADL 241 error. The problematic buddy should now
appear on the buddy list and can be removed or unblocked as desired.
XMPP:

hostname instead of the FQDN on systems which put the FQDN in the
hostname. (Matěj Cepl)

* Tooltip windows now disappear on keypress events. (Kosta Arvanitis)
* Tooltip windows no longer linger when scrolling the buddy list. (Kosta
Arvanitis)

function is called before the buddy list is initialized.
(Florian Quèze)
* Fix use of av_len in perl bindings to fix some off-by-one bugs
(Paul Aurich)

the reports of typing notifications not working with third-party
clients. (Jaromír Karmazín)
* Many QQ fixes and improvements, including the ability to connect
using QQ2008 protocol and sending/receiving of long messages.
The recommended version to use is still QQ2005.
* Fix a crash with DNS SRV lookups. (Florian Quèze)
* Fix a crash caused by authorization requests. (Florian Quèze)
Gadu-Gadu:

* Gadu-Gadu now does proper charset translations where needed. (Adam
Strzelecki)
MSN:

"Microsoft Secure Server Authority" and the "Microsoft Internet
Authority" certificates. These are now always installed even when
using --with-system-ssl-certs because most systems don't ship
those intermediate certificates.
* The Games and Office media can now be set and displayed (in
addition to the previous Music media). The Media status text now
shows the album, if possible.
* Messages sent from a mobile device while you were offline are now

0 idle time if the idle timestamp is in the future. (Laurent
Montaron)
* Fix a crash that can occur on login. (Raiko Nitzsche)
SIMPLE:
* Fix a crash when a malformed message is received.
* Don't allow connecting accounts if no server name has been
specified. (Florian Quèze)
XMPP:
* Fix the namespace URL we look for in PEP reply stanzas to match
the URL used in the 'get' requests (Paul Aurich)
* Resources can be set to the local machine's hostname by using
__HOSTNAME__ as the resource string. (Jonathan Sailor)

* Send "client-accepts-full-bind-result" attribute during SASL
login. This will fix Google Talk login failures if the user
configures the wrong domain for his/her account.

configured command is invalid. (Michael Terry)
Pidgin:
* On GTK+ 2.14 and higher, we're using the gtk-tooltip-delay setting
instead of our own (hidden) tooltip_delay pref. If you had
previously changed that pref, add a line like this to
~/.purple/gtkrc-2.0 (where 500 is the timeout (in ms) you want):
gtk-tooltip-timeout = 500
To completely disable tooltips (e.g. if you had an old
tooltip_delay of zero), add this to ~/.purple/gtkrc-2.0:
gtk-enable-tooltips = 0
* Moved the release notification dialog to a mini-dialog in the
buddylist. (Casey Ho)
* Fix a crash when closing an authorization minidialog with the X
then immediately going offline. (Paul Aurich)

conversation.
* Double-clicking a saved status will now activate it and close the
saved status manager, rather than edit the status.
Finch:
* Allow binding meta+arrow keys for actions.

control plugin, or setting the color in ~/.gtkrc-2.0)
* Fix a crash occuring when a custom smiley is deleted and re-added and
used in an open conversation after being re-added.
Finch:
* A new 'Nested Grouping' option in the 'Grouping' plugin. Group
hierarchies are defined by the '/' character in the group names.
* A bug was fixed where some key-bindings wouldn't work with some TERMs
(e.g. xterm-color, screen-linux etc.)
MSN:
* Operations (such as moving to a new group) on contacts that were added
in the same session should now complete correctly, and not cause
synchronization errors at next login.
* Minor fixes to login process during a server transfer.
* Restored the "Has You" feature to the MSN protocol tooltips.

ChangeLog:
version 2.6.2 (09/05/2009):
libpurple:
* Fix --disable-avahi to actually disable it in configure, as opposed
to just making the warning non-fatal.
* Fix using GNOME proxy settings properly. (Erik van Pienbroek)
IRC:
* Fix parsing of invalid TOPIC messages. (CVE-2009-2703)

* Don't crash when receiving "smileyfied" XHTML-IM from clients that don't
support bits of binary (ie. when getting an empty in return)
* Fix bug where SSL/TLS was not required even though the
"require SSL/TLS" preference checked when connecting to servers
that use the older iq-based authentication. (CVE-2009-3026)
Yahoo!/Yahoo! JAPAN:
* Accounts now have "Use account proxy for SSL connections" option. This
option force-overrides the account specific proxy settings for SSL
connections only and instead uses the global proxy configuration.
Finch:
* Properly detect libpanel on OpenBSD. (Brad Smith)

* Fix compilation with GTK+ * Fix compilation on Windows
version 2.6.0 (08/18/2009):
libpurple:
* Theme support in libpurple thanks to Justin Rodriguez's summer of code
project, with some minor additions and cleanups from Paul Aurich.
* Voice & Video framework in libpurple, thanks to Mike Ruprecht's summer
of code project in 2008.
* It should no longer be possible to end up with duplicates of buddies
in a group on the buddy list.
* Removed the unmaintained and unneeded toc protocol plugin.
* Fixed NTLM authentication on big-endian systems.
* Various memory cleanups when unloading libpurple. (Nick Hebner and
Stefan Becker)
* Report idle time 'From last message sent' should work properly.
* Better handling of corrupt certificates in the TLS Peers cache.
* More efficient buddy list and conversation search functions.
(Jan Kaluza and Aman Gupta)
* Install scalable versions of the main Pidgin icon, the protocol icons,
the dialog icons, and the Buddy List emblems.
* Build properly on Hurd. (Marc Dequènes)
* Various memory leaks fixed as reported by Josh Mueller.
* Properly handle an IRC buddy appearing in multiple groups.
* Escape HTML entities in usernames when written with the HTML logger.
* Do not display MySpace status changes as incoming IMs. (Mark Doliner and
Justin Williams)
DNS:
* DNS servers are re-read when DNS queries fail in case the system has
moved to a new network and the old servers are not accessible.

against the GNU IDN library.
Environment Variables:
* GnuTLS logging (disabled by default) can be controlled through the
PURPLE_GNUTLS_DEBUG environment variable, which is an integer between
0 and 9 (higher is more verbose). Higher values may reveal sensitive
information.
* PURPLE_VERBOSE_DEBUG environment variable. Currently, this is an "on" or
"off" variable. Set it to any value to turn it on and unset it to turn
it off. This will optionally be used to only show less useful debug
information on an as-needed basis.
* PURPLE_LEAKCHECK_HELP environment variable. Currently, this is an "on"
or "off" variable. Set it to any value to turn it on and unset it to
turn it off. This will be used to perform various actions that are
useful when running libpurple inside of Valgrind or similar programs.
Currently, it keeps plugins in memory, allowing Valgrind to perform
symbol resolution of leak traces at shutdown.
AIM and ICQ:
* Preliminary support for a new authentication scheme called
"clientLogin."
* Fixed a bug where your away message sometimes would not get set when

contains formatting.
* Show when the user was last logged in when doing "Get Info" on an offline
buddy, provided the server supports it.
* Support custom smileys in MUCs (only when all participants support the
"Bits of Binary" extension, and a maximum of 10 participants are in the
chat to avoid getting too many fetch requests).
* Fix an issue with Jabber (pre-XMPP) servers and the user's preference
to require SSL not being respected.
* Fix an issue where Cyrus SASL DIGEST MD5 authentication might fail if
the username, password, or realm (the JID domain) contain non-ASCII
characters.
* Show emblem for mobile, handheld, and web clients and bots (if the other

Pidgin:
* Added -f command line option to tell Pidgin to ignore NetworkManager
and assume it has a valid network connection.

* The status message input box at the bottom of the buddy list expands
correctly when starting a new line of text.
* Pressing the Enter key in the message entry box of the New Status

the next line.
* Created a unified Buddy Pounce notification window for all pounces

* Don't try to parse Personal Status Messages or Current Media if they
don't exist.

using QQ2008 protocol and sending/receiving of long messages.
The recommended version to use is still QQ2005.

Pidgin:
* On GTK+ 2.14 and higher, we're using the gtk-tooltip-delay setting
instead of our own (hidden) tooltip_delay pref. If you had
previously changed that pref, add a line like this to
~/.purple/gtkrc-2.0 (where 500 is the timeout (in ms) you want):
gtk-tooltip-timeout = 500
To completely disable tooltips (e.g. if you had an old
tooltip_delay of zero), add this to ~/.purple/gtkrc-2.0:
gtk-enable-tooltips = 0
* Moved the release notification dialog to a mini-dialog in the
