Pidgin and Finch: The Pimpin' Penguin IM Clients That're Good for the Soul
version 2.4.0 (??/??/????):
libpurple:
* 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)
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)
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'.
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 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

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.

* 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
glib to better group our longer timers to increase power efficiency.
(Arjan van de Ven with Intel Corporation)

notifications in chats

NOTE: Saved images are not yet displayed when loading logs.
* Added support for QIP logs to the Log Reader plugin (Michael Shkutkov)
