     7  * '''General''':
     8    * Our bundled libgadu should now build on HP-UX.
     9    * Fix some instances of file transfers never completing. (Cristi Posoiu) (#12472)
     10
     11  * '''Pidgin''':
     12    * Sort by Status no longer causes buddies to move around when you click them.
     13    * Fix embedding in the system tray on older GTK+ releases (such as on CentOS 5.5 and older Fedora).
     14    * No longer require libstartup-notification for startup notification support.  GTK+ has included support for years, so use it instead. (David Benjamin) (#13245)
     15
     16  * '''AIM''':
     17    * Fix a bug where some buddies from your buddy list might not show up. Affected non-English ICQ users the most. (#13386)
     18    * Send keepalives for all types of network connections.  Will hopefully make chat rooms more reliable. (#1449)
     19
     20  * '''MSN''':
     21    * Fix bug that prevented added buddies to your buddy list in certain circumstances.  (#13298)

     23  * '''MXit''':
     24    * MXit plugin and reported client version now follow the libpurple version.
     25    * Don't try to request profile information for non-user contacts.
     26    * Allow Re-Invite for contacts in Deleted or Rejected state.
     27    * Ensure we don't send packets too fast to the MXit server and trigger its flood-detection mechanism.  Also increased the internal packet queue to 32 packets.
     28
     29  * '''XMPP''':
     30    * Fix building on platforms with an older glib (inadvertantly broken in 2.7.10).  (#13329)
     31    * Don't treat the on-join status storms as 'new arrivals'.  (Thijs Alkemade) (#a14527)
     32    * Extend the /join command to support room JIDs, enabling you to join a room on any server.  (Solarius, Matěj Cepl, Tirtha 'wyuka' Chatterjee) (#4526)
     33    * Add support for receiving a limited amount of history when joining a room (not currently supported by Pidgin and Finch).  (Thijs Alkemade) (#10986, #a14219)
     34
     35  * '''Yahoo!/Yahoo! JAPAN''':
     36    * Fix CVE-2011-1091, denials of service caused by NULL pointer dereferences due to improper handling of malformed YMSG packets.  Thanks to Marius Wachtler for reporting this and reviewing the fix!

     46    * Added !AddTrust External Root CA.  (#11554)
     47    * Resolve some issues validating X.509 certificates signed off the CAcert Class 3 intermediate cert when using the GnuTLS SSL/TLS plugin.

     87    * Fix a crash when an account disconnects before a p2p session is completely set up. (Jan Kaluza) (#12432)

     140
     141  * '''AIM and ICQ''':
     142    * AIM should now connect if "Use clientLogin" is turned off and the "Server" field is set to anything other than "login.oscar.aol.com" or "slogin.oscar.aol.com". (#12948)

     226    * Add Chromium to the list of possible browsers on non-Windows systems.

     241    * Advertise support for Google Talk's JID Domain Discovery extension in all cases again (changed in 2.7.0), not just when the domain is "gmail.com" or "googlemail.com" (it's also needed for Google Talk used for accounts on arbitrary domains not using Google Apps for Your Domain). (#a14153)
     242    * Improved handling of adding oneself to your buddy list when using Non-SASL (legacy) authentication. (#12499)
     243    * Generate a connection error instead of just stalling when the _xmppconnect TXT record returns results, but none of them result in a valid BOSH URI. (#a14367, #12744)

     251
     252  * '''Yahoo/Yahoo JAPAN''':
     253    * Stop doing unnecessary lookups of certain alias information.  This solves deadlocks when a given Yahoo account has a ridiculously large (>500 buddies) list and may improve login speed for those on slow connections. (#12532)
     254    * Fix sending SMS messages.  The lookup host changed on us.  (Thanks to todo) (#12688).

     305    * Renamed "Use account proxy for SSL connections" to "Use account proxy for HTTP and HTTPS requests" and tied the option to HTTP requests too.
     306    * Properly detect HTTP proxy server use when the HTTP proxy is the global proxy server, an account-level non-HTTP proxy server is configured, and the "Use account proxy for HTTP and HTTPS requests" account option is turned off.  This fixes connecting for some HTTP proxy servers.
     307    * Fall back to connecting to scsa.msg.yahoo.com (not configurable) if the HTTP-based connect server lookup fails.  This does not work for Yahoo JAPAN accounts.
     308    * Fix file transfers that get stuck with "Waiting for transfer to begin".
