| 270 | | * Large (multi-part) messages are now correctly re-combined. |

| 280 | | * Update tokens for !FindMembership and ABFindAll SOAP requests. |
| 281 | | * 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. |
| 282 | | * 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. |
| 283 | | |
| 284 | | * '''XMPP''' |
| 285 | | * 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) |
| 286 | | * 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. |
| 287 | | |
| 288 | | * '''Pidgin''' |
| 289 | | * Tooltip windows now appear below the mouse cursor. (Kosta Arvanitis) |
