    11= !ChangeLog: Pidgin and Finch - The Pimpin' Penguin IM Clients That're Good For The Soul! =
     2
     3== version 2.7.0 (05/12/2010) ==
     4  * '''General'''
     5    * Changed GTK+ minimum version requirement to 2.10.0.
     6    * Changed GLib minimum version requirement to 2.12.0.
     7    * Using the --disable-nls argument to configure now works properly. You will no longer be forced to have intltool to configure and build.
     8    * Fix two related crashes in the GnuTLS and NSS plugins when they suffer internal errors immediately upon attempting to establish an SSL connection.
     9    * Fix NSS to work when reinitialized after being used.  (Thanks to Ludovico Cavedon for the testcase)
     10    * Added support for PURPLE_GNUTLS_PRIORITIES environment variable. This can be used to specify GnuTLS priorities on a per-host basis. The format is "host=priority;host2=priority;...".  The default priority can be overridden by using "*" as the host.  See the GnuTLS manual for documentation on the format of the priority strings.
     11    * Fix autoconf detection of Python.  (Brad Smith)
     12    * Fix a crash when a Windows proxy (from IE) does not have a port. (Marten Klencke)
     13
     14  * '''Pidgin'''
     15    * Moved the "Debugging Information" section of the About box to a "Build Information" dialog accessible on the Help menu.
     16    * Moved the Developer and Crazy Patch Writer information from the About box to a "Developer Information" dialog accessible on the Help menu.
     17    * Moved the Translator information from the About box to a "Translator Information" dialog accessible on the Help menu.
     18    * Use G!tkStatusIcon for the docklet, providing better integration in notification area.
     19    * Added UI for sending attentions (buzz, nudge) on supporting protocols.
     20    * Make the search dialog unobtrusive in the conversation window (by making it look and behave like the search dialog in Firefox)
     21    * The Recent Log Activity sort method for the Buddy List now distinguishes between no activity and a small amount of activity in the distant past.  (Greg !McNew)
     22    * Added a menu set mood globally for all mood-supporting accounts (currently XMPP and ICQ).
     23    * Default binding of Ctrl+Shift+v to 'Paste as Plain Text' in conversation windows. This can be changed in .gtkrc-2.0. For example, Ctrl+v can be bound to 'Paste as Plain Text' by default.
     24    * Plugins can now handle markup in buddy names by attaching to the "drawing-buddy" signal. (Daniele Ricci, Andrea Piccinelli)
     25    * Be more accommodating when scaling down large images for use as buddy icons.
     26    * The 'Message Timestamp Formats' plugin allows changing the timestamp format from the timestamps' context menu in conversation log.
     27    * The 'Message Timestamp Formats' plugin allows forcing 12-hour timestamps.  (Jonathan Maltz)
     28    * Fix pastes from Chrome (rich-text pastes and probably URLs having garbage appended to them).
     29    * Show file transfer thumbnails for images on supporting protocols (currently only supported on MSN).
     30
     31  * '''Bonjour'''
     32    * Added support for IPv6. (Thanks to T_X for testing)
     33
     34  * '''Gadu-Gadu'''
     35    * Updated our bundled libgadu to 1.9.0-rc2 (many thanks to Krzysztof Klinikowski for the work and testing put in here!)
     36    * Minimum requirement for external libgadu is now also 1.9.0-rc2.
     37  * '''AIM and ICQ'''
     38    * X-Status (Custom ICQ status icon) support.  Since most of the icons available reflect moods, this is labeled "Set Mood" on the Accounts->ICQ Account menu. (Andrew Ivanov, Tomáš Kebert, Yuriy Yevgrafov, and trac users bob007, salieff, and nops)
     39    * Allow setting and displaying icons between 1x1 and 100x100 pixels for ICQ.  Previously only icons between 48x48 and 52x64 were allowed.
     40    * When using the clientLogin authentication method, prompt for a password on reconnect when "Remember Password" is not checked and authentication fails due to an incorrect password.  (This is the same behavior as the legacy authentication method)
     41    * Support sending and receiving HTML-formatted messages for ICQ.
     42    * Use the proper URL for "View web profile" link for ICQ buddies. (Alexander Nartov)
     43
     44  * '''MSN'''
     45    * Support for version 9 of the MSN protocol has been removed.  This
     46      version is no longer supported on the servers.
     47    * Support file transfer thumbnails (previews) for images.
     48    * Fix CVE-2010-1624 (custom emoticon remote crash).
     49
     50  * '''XMPP'''
     51    * Direct messages to a specific resource only upon receipt of a message with content (as opposed to a typing notification, etc).  (Thanks to rjoly for testing)
     52    * Present a better error message when authentication fails while trying to connect to Facebook.  (David Reiss, Facebook)
     53    * When sending data using in-band-bytestreams, interpret the block-size attribute as the size of the BASE64-encoded representation of the data.
     54    * Validate the hash on incoming BoB data objects (for custom smileys etc.), cache based per JID when the CID is not a valid hash (as specified by the BoB XEP).
     55    * Send whitespace keepalives if we haven't sent data in a while (2 minutes).  This fixes an issue with Openfire disconnecting a libpurple-baesd client that has just been quiet for about 6 minutes.
     56    * Only support Google Talk's JID Domain Discovery extension (allowing a user to log in with "@gmail.com" or "@googlemail.com" interchangeably) for those two domains.  This change was made due to interoperability issues with some BOSH Connection Managers and namespaced attributes.
     57
     58  * '''Yahoo/Yahoo JAPAN'''
     59    * Attempt to better handle transparent proxies interfering with HTTP-based login.
     60    * Fix handling of P2P packets, thus fixing the loss of some messages.
     61    * Retrieve the pager server address from Yahoo!'s servers directly.
     62    * Removed the "Pager server" account option, as it is no longer needed.
     63    * The authentication code is now less order-sensitive with the components of the server's response.
     64    * The authentication process now acts more like the official client.
     65
     66  * '''Finch'''
     67    * New action 'history-search', with default binding ctrl+r, to search the entered string in the input history.
