	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.

	  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).

	  be set properly.

	Yahoo!/Yahoo! JAPAN:
	* P2P file transfers.  (Sulabh Mahajan)

	  dialog and various other dialogs now causes the cursor to move to
	  the next line.

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

	* The hardware cursor is updated correctly. This will be useful
	  especially for users of braille terminals, screen readers etc.
	* Added a TinyURL plugin, which aids copying longer URLs.

	  but it should resolve at least some of the most common ones.
	* The pager server will automatically update to scsa.msg.yahoo.com if the
	  user empties the field or if it is scs.msg.yahoo.com.  This should ease
	  the pain of transition to the new login method.

	  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

	* 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.
	* Buddies on both the Allow and Block list are now automatically
	  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:
	* Resources using __HOSTNAME__ substitution will now grab only the short
	  hostname instead of the FQDN on systems which put the FQDN in the
	  hostname. (Matěj Cepl)
	* No longer send a 'to' attribute on an outgoing stanza when we haven't
	  received one.  This fixes a registration bug as described in ticket
	  #6635.

	* Various fixes to the nullprpl. (Paul Aurich)
	* Fix a crash when accessing the roomlist for an account that's not
	  connected. (Paul Aurich)
	* Fix a crash in purple_accounts_delete that happens when this
	  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)
	* On ICQ, advertise the ICQ 6 typing capability.  This should fix
	  the reports of typing notifications not working with third-party
	  clients. (Jaromír Karmazín)

	  Strzelecki)

	MSN:
	* Fix an error with offline messages by shipping the *new*
	  "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.

	  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)
	* Resources can now be left blank, causing the server to generate a
	  resource for us where supported. (Jonathan Sailor)
	* Resources now default to no value, but "Home" is used if the
	  server refuses to provide a resource.
	* Quit trying to get user info for MUC's. (Paul Aurich)
	* 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.
	* Support new <metadata/> element to indicate no XEP-0084 User
	  Avatar. (Paul Aurich)
	* Fix SHA1 avatar checksum errors that occur when one of the bytes
	  in a checksum begins with 0. (Paul Aurich)

	Yahoo:
	* Corrected maximum message lengths for Yahoo!
	* Fix file transfers with older Yahoo protocol versions.

	Zephyr:
	* Enable auto-reply, to emulate 'zaway.' (Toby Schaffer)
	* Fix a crash when an account is configured to use tzc but tzc is
	  not installed or the configured tzc command is invalid. (Michael
	  Terry)
	* Fix a 10 second delay waiting on tzc if it is not installed or the
	  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)
	* Fix a crash cleaning up custom smileys when Pidgin is closed.
	* Fix adding a custom smiley using the context menu in a conversation
	  if no custom smilies have previously been added using the smiley
	  manager.
	* Improved support for some message formatting in conversations.
	* Allow focusing the conversation history or userlist with F6.
	* Fixed the Send Button plugin to avoid duplicate buttons in a single
	  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.
	* Added default meta+erase binding for delete previous word.
	* Added "Show When Offline" to buddy menus, so a plugin is no longer
	  needed.

version 2.5.2 (10/19/2008):
	libpurple:
	* Fixed a crash on removing a custom buddy icon on a buddy.
	* Fixed a crash caused by certain self-signed SSL certificates.
	* Enable a number of strong ciphers which were previously disabled
	  when using NSS.  (Thanks to Marcus Trautwig.)

	Pidgin:
	* The status selector now saves your message when changing status.
	* Fix a case where a conversation window could close unexpectedly.
	* A mute sounds option has been added to the preferences window to
	  help with discoverability.  CTRL+S is no longer bound to mute.
	* Added ability to change the color of visited links (using the theme
	  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.
	* ADL 205/214/etc errors should no longer prevent login.

	XMPP:
	* Sending and receiving custom smileys using the specification in
	  XEP-0231 (bits of binary) and XHTML-IM

	Yahoo:
	* Only send a Ping once every hour.  This prevents the account from
	  being disconnected from the server periodically.

version 2.5.1 (08/30/2008):
	libpurple:
	* In the Join/Part plugin, add the ability to apply the rules to
	  buddies.  By default, joins and parts for buddies are still shown.
	* Support SOCKS proxies specified in GNOME or Windows proxy settings.
	* Fix some possible crashes in MSNP15.
	* Enable a default SSL trust relationship for MSN servers.
	* Avoid disconnecting from XMPP servers on parse errors that are
	  non-fatal.
	* Include some perl files that were mistakenly omitted in 2.5.0.

	Pidgin:
	* Prevent use of custom smilies without "shortcuts."
	* Fix a crash that could appear with AIM buddy tooltips.

	  are connecting.

version 2.5.0 (08/18/2008):
	libpurple:
	* Ability to create custom smileys (currently only the MSN protocol
	  utilizes the feature). (Thanks to Mauro Sérgio Ferreira Brasil,
	  Marcus Lundblad, Jorge Villaseñor and other contributors)
	* Add a configure option, --with-system-ssl-certs to allow packagers
	  to specify a system-wide SSL CA certificates directory.  When set,
	  we don't install our SSL CA certs, so it's important that the
	  libpurple package depend on the CA certificates.
	* Add SSL Certificates support to the NSS SSL plugin. (Thanks to Lou
	  Cipher)

	XMPP:
	* Fix a bug that caused the UI to not refresh and caused the client
	  to use 99% CPU when an XMPP account lost its connection to the
	  server.
	* Possibly fix a bug where some clients could get into a state
	  where they moved a buddy back and forth between two groups in
	  an endless loop.

	IRC:
	* /ctcp command (Vladislav Guberinić)
	* Allow for auto-detection of incoming UTF-8 formatted text on
	  accounts which are configured to use some other encoding.

	* Update MSN support to protocol 15 (Elliott Sales de Andrade, Jorge
	  Villaseñor, Mike Ruprecht, Carlos Silva, Ma Yuan, Daniel Ljungborg
	  and others)
	* Personal messages are now supported. They are treated as status
	  messages.
	* Offline IM is now supported.

	  longer crashes.
	* Custom smileys received in a chat no longer go to a new window.
	* Processing is no longer completely frozen after the servers block a
	  message because it contains (what they consider) inappropriate text.

	Pidgin:
	* Custom buddy icons can now be added to and removed from buddy list
	  entries via the buddy list entry right-click menu.
	* Resize large incoming custom smileys to a maximum of 96px on either
	  side.
	* Offer to add new buddies into the same contact as existing buddies
	  in the same group if the alias given is the same.
	* Minor smiley style update.

	General:
	* Group and Chat buddy list entries can now be given custom buddy
	  icons.

	Finch:
	* Added "Invite..." menu to chats.
	* Added "View All Logs" menu in the buddylist to display a list of all IM
	  logs.
	* Added '/msgcolor' command to change colors of different classes of
	  messages in a conversation. See '/help msgcolor' for details.
	* Added tab-completion for commands in conversation windows.

version 2.4.3 (07/01/2008):
	libpurple:
	* Yahoo! Japan now uses UTF-8, matching the behavior of official clients
	  and restoring compatibility with the web messenger (Yusuke Odate)
	* Setting your buddy icon once again works for Yahoo! accounts.
	* Fixes in the Yahoo! protocol to prevent a double free, crashes on
	  aliases, and alias functionality
	* Fix crashes in the bonjour protocol
	* Always use UTF-8 for Yahoo! (#5973)
	* Fix a crash when the given jabber id is invalid.
	* Make the IRC "unknown message" debugging messages UTF-8 safe.
	* Fix connecting to ICQ
	* Fix a memleak when handling jabber xforms.

	Pidgin:
	* Include the send button plugin in the win32 build
	* Various memory leak fixes

version 2.4.2 (05/17/2008):
	http://developer.pidgin.im/query?status=closed&milestone=2.4.2
	libpurple:
	* In MySpaceIM, messages from spambots are discarded (Justin Williams)
	* Strip mIRC formatting codes from quit and part messages.
	* IRC now displays ban lists in-channel for joined channels.
	* Fixed a bug where the list of loaded plugins would get removed when
	  switching between different operating systems.
	* Fix reception of IRC PART without a part message on Undernet
	  (fixes a problem with litter in the channel user list).
	* IRC no longer crashes on /list on servers which erroneously omit
	  RPL_LISTSTART.
	* Update the NetworkManager support to use D-Bus directly, instead of
	  libnm-glib.  Hopefully it's stable now.  It will now compile by
	  default if you have D-Bus support and NetworkManager.h. (Elliott
	  Sales de Andrade)
	* MSN buddy list synchronization is now more forgiving, only asking
	  about buddies who have disappeared completely from the server list
	  and not those that have simply moved groups.
	* IRC will now try to append 1-9 to your nick if it is in use, instead
	  of substituting the last character with 1-9 where possible.
	* Bonjour buddies will be saved persistently if they're moved out of
	  the "Bonjour" group. (Eion Robb)

	Pidgin:
	* The typing notification in the conversation history can be disabled or
	  customized (font, color etc.) in .gtkrc-2.0.
	* Added a plugin (not installed by default) which adds a Send button
	  back to the conversation window. People without physical keyboards
	  have a hard time with the lack of the button.
	* Clicking on the buddyicon in the conversation window toggles the
	  size of the icon between small and large.
	* The settings of a chat (e.g. Handle in an XMPP chat, or Exchange in
	  an AIM chat) can be edited from its context menu in the buddy list.
	* Add a "Present conversation window" preference to the Message
	  Notification plugin; the "Raise conversation window" option does not
	  unminimize windows or draw attention to them when they are on other
	  workspaces--the "Present" option should.
	* Add a preference to set Escape as the keyboard shortcut for closing
	  the conversation window.
	* Add an option in the context menu to disable smileys in the selected
	  text in the conversation history/log viewer. This should help people
	  who regularly paste code in conversations.
	* Add a preference to choose the minimum size of the text input area in
	  lines.
	* Moved the "Local alias" field in the Modify Account dialog to be below
	  the "User Options" heading on the "Basic" tab.
	* Number of room occupants is now shown in chat tooltips where possible

	General:
	* The configure script now dies on more absent dependencies.  The
	  --disable-xxx arguments to configure can be used to bypass unneeded
	  dependencies.  This will also cause the configure script to die if an
	  --enable-xxx option is used and the dependencies it requires are
	  missing.
	* The Evolution integration plugin must now be explicitly enabled.  Use
	  the --enable-gevolution argument to configure to enable it.
	* The Contact Availability Prediction plugin must now be explicitly
	  enabled.  Use the --enable-cap argument to configure to enable it.

	Finch:
	* New default binding ctrl+x to open context menus.
	* Menu triggers and other bindings will no longer conflict.
	* Middle click pastes the internal clipboard (when mouse support is
	  enabled).

version 2.4.1 (03/31/2008):
	http://developer.pidgin.im/query?status=closed&milestone=2.4.1

	libpurple:
	* Treat AIM Unicode messages as UTF-16 rather than UCS-2; this
	  should have no functional effect, other than continued support
	  on systems which have dropped UCS-2 conversions.
	* Add support for setting buddy icons on Gadu-Gadu (Tomasz Salacinski)
	* Fix a crash when clearing the buddy icon for an account on XMPP
	* Fix a crash during login for some ICQ accounts
	* Prefer more available resources on XMPP when priorities are equal
	* Fix incorrectly marking some Yahoo! contacts as blocked
	* Improved handling of UTF-8 group names on ICQ (beret)
	* Fix a crash when starting if you have a Zephyr account
	* Increase XMPP ping timeout to 120 seconds, to prevent poor network
	  connections from timing out unnecessarily.
	* Don't crash on XMPP forms with empty default values.
	* Fix issues with CHAP authentication for SOCKS5 proxies.

	Pidgin:
	* Remove a workaround for older versions gstreamer that was causing
	  crashes on some non-Linux systems such as HPUX
	* Fix some cases of the conversation input entry area being 1 pixel high
	* Fix for displaying channel & buddy names in conversation window when
	  they have '&' in them
	* Some memory leak fixes, especially in the Text Replacement plugin
	* Rectangular but non-square buddy icons have rounded corners in the buddy
	  list

	Finch:
	* Fix compiling with Glib older than 2.6
	* Ensure existing conversations selected from the 'Send IM' dialog are
	  given focus
	* Move the tooltip on the left of the buddylist if there's not enough room
	  on the right to show it.

version 2.4.0 (02/29/2008):
	http://developer.pidgin.im/query?status=closed&milestone=2.4.0

	libpurple:
	* Added support for offline messages for AIM accounts (thanks to
	  Matthew Goldstein)
	* Fixed various problems with loss of status messages when going
	  or returning from idle on MySpaceIM.
	* Eliminated unmaintained Howl backend implementation for the
	  Bonjour protocol.  Avahi (or Apple's Bonjour runtime on win32) is
	  now required to use Bonjour.
	* Partial support for viewing ICQ status notes (Collin from
	  ComBOTS GmbH).
	* Support for /notice on IRC.
	* Support for Yahoo! Messenger 7.0+ file transfer method (Thanumalayan S.)
	* Support for retrieving full names and addresses from the address book
	  on Yahoo! Japan (Yusuke Odate)
	* The AIM/ICQ server-side preference for "allow others to see me
	  as idle" is no longer unconditionally set to "yes" even when
	  your libpurple preference is "no."
	* Fix SSL certificate checks for renewed certificates
	* Fix the ability to set vCard buddy icons on Google Talk/XMPP
	* D-Bus fixes on 64bit
	* Fixed retrieval of buddy icons and setting of server-side aliases on
	  Yahoo! and Yahoo! Japan when using an HTTP proxy server (Gideon N.
	  Guillen)
	* Fixed an MSN bug that would leave you appearing offline when transferred
	  to different server

	Pidgin:
	* Added the ability to theme conversation name colors (red and blue)
	  through your GTK+ theme, and exposed those theme settings to the
	  Pidgin GTK+ Theme Control plugin (Dustin Howett)
	* Fixed having multiple alias edit areas in the infopane (Elliott Sales
	  de Andrade)
	* Save the conversation "Enable Logging" option per-contact (Moos
	  Heintzen)
	* Typing notifications are now shown in the conversation area

	Finch:
	* Color is used in the buddylist to indicate status, and the conversation
	  window to indicate various message attributes. Look at the sample gntrc
	  file in the man page for details.
	* The default keybinding for dump-screen is now M-D and uses a file
	  request dialog. M-d will properly delete-forward-word, and M-f has been
	  fixed to imitate readline's behavior.
	* New bindings alt+tab and alt+shift+tab to help navigating between the
	  higlighted windows (details on the man page).
	* Recently signed on (or off) buddies blink in the buddy list.
	* New action 'Room List' in the action list can be used to get the list of
	  available chat rooms for an online account.
	* The 'Grouping' plugin can be used for alternate grouping in the
	  buddylist. The current options are 'Group Online/Offline' and 'No
	  Group'.
	* Added a log viewer
	* Added the ability to block/unblock buddies - see the buddy context menu
	  and the menu for the buddy list.
	* Fixed a bug preventing finch working on x86_64

version 2.3.1 (12/7/2007):
	http://developer.pidgin.im/query?status=closed&milestone=2.3.1
		NOTE: Due to the way this release was made, it is possible that
		      bugs marked as fixed in 2.3.1 will not be fixed until the
		      next release.

	* Fixed a number of MSN bugs introduced in 2.3.0, resolving problems
	  connecting to MSN and random local display name changes
	* Going idle on MySpaceIM will no longer clear your status and message.
	* Idle MySpaceIM buddies should now appear online at login.
	* Fixed crashes in XMPP when discovering a client's capabilities
	* Don't set the current tune title if it's NULL (XMPP/Google Talk)
	* Don't allow buddies to be manually added to Bonjour
	* Don't advertise IPv6 on Bonjour because we don't support it
	* Compile fixes for FreeBSD and Solaris
	* Update QQ client version so some accounts can connect again
	* Do not allow ISON requests to stack in IRC, preventing flooding IRC
	  servers when temporary network outages are restored
	* Plug several leaks in the perl plugin loader
	* Prevent autoaccept plugin overwriting existing files

version 2.3.0 (11/24/2007):
	http://developer.pidgin.im/query?status=closed&milestone=2.3.0
		NOTE: Some bugs marked fixed in 2.2.1, 2.2.2 or 2.2.3 may not
		      have been fixed until this release (2.3.0).

	libpurple:
	* Real usernames are now shown in the system log.
	* We now honor a PURPLE_DISABLE_DEPRECATED define to allow plugins to
	  catch deprecated functions earlier rather than later.
	* Thanks to a patch from Intel, the Bonjour prpl now supports file
	  transfers using XEP-0096 and XEP-0065.  This should enable file
	  transfers between libpurple clients and Gajim clients, but will not
	  work with iChat or Adium as they use a different file transfer
	  implementation.
	* XMPP password changes that return errors no longer cause the saved
	  password to be changed.
	* XMPP file transfer support has been enhanced to support sending
	  files through a proxy when the server supports discovering a
	  a bytestream proxy.  This should make file transfers much more
	  reliable.  The next release will add support for manually specifying
	  a proxy when the server doesn't advertise one.

	Pidgin:
	* If a plugin says it can't be unloaded, we now display an error and
	  remove the plugin from the list of saved plugins so it won't load
	  at the next startup.  Previously, we were ignoring this case, which
	  could lead to crashes.
	* Mark dialog windows as transient for appropriate parent windows to
	  help window managers do the right thing  (Gabriel Schulhof)
	* Connection errors are now reported in mini-dialogs inside the buddy
	  list, rather than as buttons in the buddy list and with dialog
	  boxes.  If several accounts are disabled when you sign on elsewhere,
	  you can now re-enable them all with a single click.
	* Added tooltips to the Room List window to show full topics
	* Added buttons in preferences to access GNOME network and browser
	  preferences configuration dialogs when running under GNOME
	* If you alias a buddy to an alias that is already present within
	  a particular group, we now offer to merge the buddies into the
	  same contact.
	* A music emblem is now displayed in the buddy list for a buddy if we
	  know she is listening to some soothing music.
	* Added a 'Move to' menu in buddy list context menu for moving buddies
	  to other groups as an alternative to dragging.
	* Group headings are now marked via an underline instead of a
	  different color background.
	* It is now possible to mark a chat on your buddy list as "Persistent"
	  so you do not leave the chat when the window or tab is closed.
	* The auto-join option for chats is now listed in the "Add Chat"
	  dialog along with the new persistence option.
	* Closing an IM no longer immediately closes your conversation.  It
	  will now remain active for a short time so that if the conversation
	  resumes, the history will be retained.  A preference has been added
	  to toggle this behavior.
	* The "Smiley" menu has been moved to the top-level of the toolbar.
	* Pidgin's display is now saved with the command line for session
	  restoration.  (David Mohr)
	* ICQ Birthday notifications are shown as buddy list emblems.
	* Plugin actions are now available from the docklet context menu
	  in addition to the Tool menu of the buddy list.
	* The manual page has been heavily rewritten to bring it in line
	  with current functionality.

	Finch:
	* If a plugin says it can't be unloaded, we now display an error and
	  remove the plugin from the list of saved plugins so it won't load
	  at the next startup.  Previously, we were ignoring this case, which
	  could lead to crashes.
	* It's possible to bind key-strokes to specific menuitems in the windows.
	  Read the 'Menus' section in the man-page for details.
	* 'transpose-chars' operation for the entry boxes. The default key-binding
	  is ctrl+t.
	* 'yank' operation for the entry boxes. The default binding is ctrl+y.

version 2.2.2 (10/23/2007):
	http://developer.pidgin.im/query?status=closed&milestone=2.2.2
		NOTE: Due to the way this release was made, it is possible that
			  bugs marked as fixed in 2.2.1 or 2.2.2 will not be fixed
			  until the next release.

	* Various bug and memory leak fixes
	* Look for a default prefs.xml in the CSIDL_COMMON_APPDATA directory
	  (e.g. c:\Documents and Settings\All Users\
	        Application Data\purple\prefs.xml) on Windows, similarly to
	  how this is done on other platforms.

version 2.2.1 (09/29/2007):
	http://developer.pidgin.im/query?status=closed&milestone=2.2.1
		NOTE: Due to the backporting that happened for the actual
		      release, it is possible bugs marked as fixed in 2.2.1
		      will not be fixed until 2.2.2.

	libpurple:
	* A few build issues on Solaris were fixed.
	* Cancelling the password prompt for an account will no longer leave
	  it in an ambiguous state.  (It will be disabled.)
	* Fixed an erroneous size display for MSN file transfers. (galt)
	* Fixed multiple memory leaks, particularly in XMPP and MySpace
	  protocols
	* Fixed remembering proxy preferences and status scores
	* Gmail notifications are better tracked

	Pidgin:
	* Fixed keyboard tab reordering to move tabs one step instead of two.
	* You should no longer lose proxy settings when Pidgin is restarted.
	* Fixed detection of X11 when compiling

	Finch:
	* Pressing 'Insert' in the buddylist will bring up the 'Add Buddy'
	  dialog.

version 2.2.0 (09/13/2007):
	http://developer.pidgin.im/query?status=closed&milestone=2.2.0

	libpurple:
	* New protocol plugin: MySpaceIM (Jeff Connelly, Google Summer of
	  Code)
	* XMPP enhancements. See
	  http://www.adiumx.com/blog/2007/07/soc-xmpp-update.php (Andreas
	  Monitzer, Google Summer of Code for Adium)
	* Certificate management. libpurple will validate certificates on
	  SSL-encrypted protocols (William Ehlhardt, Google Summer of Code)
	* Some adjustments were made to fix sending messages when using
	  the MSN HTTP method. (Laszlo Pandy)
	* Yahoo! Chat is fixed.
	* Some AIM file transfer issues between Pidgin and other clients
	  have been fixed. (Kyryll A Mirnenko)
	* Properly restore idle status and time for AIM and ICQ accounts
	  when they reconnect after being disconnected.

	Pidgin:
	* Insert Horizontal Rules and Strikethrough text from toolbar.
	* Option to show protocol icons in the buddy list, from the
	  Buddies > Show menu. (Justin Heiner)
	* Ability to build with native, non-X11 GTK+ on OSX. (Anders
	  Hasselqvist)
	* Remember the 'Enable Sounds' setting for a conversation.
	* Right-clicking the empty space in the formatting toolbar
	  allows you to toggle back to the old "ungrouped" version.
	* Protocols supporting account registration via Pidgin now show
	  a descriptive checkbox instead of a vague "Register" button.
	* Fixed a bug where a tab would be shown on single conversations
	  when tabs were disabled.

	Finch:
	* Per-conversation mute and logging options (accessible from the menu).

version 2.1.1 (08/20/2007):
	Yahoo:
	* Added an account action to open your inbox in the yahoo prpl.
	* Added support for Unicode status messages in Yahoo.
	* Server-stored aliases for Yahoo. (John Moody)
	* Fixed support for Yahoo! doodling.
	* Limited support for MSN Messenger contacts
	
	Bonjour:
	* Bonjour plugin uses native Avahi instead of Howl
	* Bonjour plugin supports Buddy Icons

	XMPP:
	* Only report conversation close when 'send typing notifications'
	  preference is turned on (Bob Rossi)

	Pidgin:
	* Show current outgoing conversation formatting on the font label on
	  the toolbar
	* Slim new redesign of conversation tabs to maximize number of
	  conversations that can fit in a window
	* Tab bar is not visible when only one conversation is open. You can
	  drag and drop conversations from the infopane.
	* Moved "Reset Formatting" toolbar button to Font menu.
	* Double click on the infopane to alias buddies and set topics
	  on chats
	* New smiley style

	Finch:
	* Sound support (Eric Polino)

version 2.1.0 (07/28/2007):
	libpurple:
	* Core changes to allow UIs to use second-granularity for scheduling.
	  Pidgin and Finch, which use the glib event loop, were changed to use
	  g_timeout_add_seconds() on glib >= 2.14 when possible.  This allows
