version is no longer supported on the servers.
* Support file transfer thumbnails (previews) for images.
* Fix CVE-2010-1624 (custom emoticon remote crash).
XMPP:
* 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)
* Present a better error message when authentication fails while trying
to connect to Facebook. (David Reiss, Facebook)
* When sending data using in-band-bytestreams, interpret the block-size
attribute as the size of the BASE64-encoded representation of the
data.
* 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).
* 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.
* 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.
Yahoo/Yahoo JAPAN:
* Attempt to better handle transparent proxies interfering with
HTTP-based login.
* Fix handling of P2P packets, thus fixing the loss of some messages.
* Retrieve the pager server address from Yahoo!'s servers directly.
* Removed the "Pager server" account option, as it is no longer needed.
* The authentication code is now less order-sensitive with the
components of the server's response.
* The authentication process now acts more like the official client.
Finch:
* New action 'history-search', with default binding ctrl+r, to search
the entered string in the input history.
Windows-Specific Changes
* Updated GTK+ to 2.16.6
* Private GTK+ Runtime now used (GTK+ Installer no longer supported)
* Minimum required GTK+ version increased to 2.14.7
* Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition, Windows ME
(Millennium Edition), and Windows NT 4.0 longer supported due to GTK+
requirements changes.
* Crash Report files (pidgin.RPT) are now generated in the ~/.purple
directory instead of the installation directory.
* NSS SSL Library upgraded to 3.12.5 (thanks to Berke Viktor)
* GtkSpell upgraded to 2.0.16, changing the spellchecking backend to
enchant. This means that myspell and hunspell (OpenOffice)
dictionaries can be used (previous versions' aspell dictionaries
will not work).
version 2.6.6 (02/18/2010):
libpurple:
* Fix 'make check' on OS X. (David Fang)
* Fix a quirk in purple_markup_html_to_xhtml that caused some messages
to be improperly converted to XHTML.
* Set "controlling-mode" correctly when initializing a media session.
Fixes receiving voice calls from Psi.
* When looking up DNS records, use the type of record returned by the
server (instead of the type we asked for) to determine how to process
the record.
* Fix an issue with parsing XML attributes that contain "<br>".
See ChangeLog.API for more details.
General:
* Correctly disable all missing dependencies when using the
--disable-missing-dependencies option. (Gabriel Schulhof)
Gadu-Gadu:
* Fix display of avatars after a server-side change. (Krzysztof
Klinikowski)
AIM:
* Allow setting and displaying icons between 1x1 and 100x100 pixels.
Previously only icons between 48x48 and 50x50 were allowed.
MSN:
* Fix CVE-2010-0277, a possible remote crash when parsing an incoming
SLP message. (Discovered by Fabian Yamaguchi)
* File transfer requests will no longer cause a crash if you delete the
file before the other side accepts.
* Received files will no longer hold an extra lock after completion,
meaning they can be moved or deleted without complaints from your OS.
* Buddies who sign in from a second location will no longer cause an
unnecessary chat window to open.
* Support setting an animated GIF as a buddy icon.
* Numerous code cleanups and memory savings.
MySpace:
* Fix a leak and crash when retrieving buddy icons.
XMPP:
* Less likely to send messages to a contact's idle/inactive resource.
Previously, if a message was received from a specific resource,
responses would be sent to that resource until either it went offline
or a message is received from another resource. Now, messages are
sent to the bare JID upon receipt of any presence change from the
contact.
* Added support for the SCRAM-SHA-1 SASL mechanism. This is only
available when built without Cyrus SASL support.
* When getting info on a domain-only (server) JID, show uptime
(when given by the result of the "last query") and don't show status
as offline.
* Fix getting info on your own JID.
* Wrap XHTML messages in <p>, as described in XEP-0071, for
compatibility with some clients.
* Don't do an SRV lookup for a STUN server associated with the account
if one is already set globally in prefs.
* Don't send custom smileys larger than the recommended maximum object
size specified in the BoB XEP. This prevents a client from being
disconnected by servers that dislike overly-large stanzas.
* Fix receiving messages without markup over an Openfire BOSH
connection (forcibly put the stanzas in the jabber:client namespace).
* The default value for the file transfer proxies is automatically
updated when an account connects, if it is still the old (broken)
default (from 'proxy.jabber.org' to 'proxy.eu.jabber.org').
* Fix an issue where libpurple created duplicate buddies if the roster
contains a buddy in two groups that differ only by case
(e.g. "XMPP" and "xmpp") (or not at all).
Yahoo:
* Don't send <span> and </span> tags. (Fartash Faghri)
* Support PingBox. PingBoxes will appear as pbx/PingBoxName. (Kartik
Mohta)
Pidgin:
* Fix CVE-2010-0423, a denial of service attack due to the parsing
of large numbers of smileys. (Discovered by Antti Hayrynen)
* Correctly size conversation and status box entries when the
interior-focus style property is diabled. (Gabriel Schulhof)
* Correctly handle a multiline text field being required in a
request form. (Thanks to Florian Zeitz for finding this problem)
* Search friends by email-addresses in the buddy list. (Luoh Ren-Shan)
* Allow dropping an image on Custom Smiley window to add a new one.
* Prompt for confirmation when clearing a whiteboard (doodle) session.
(Kartik Mohta)
* Use the "hand" cursor when hovering over usernames in chat history to
indicate that the username is an actionable item.
* Double-clicking usernames in chat history will open an IM with that
user.
* Put an icon on the "Filter" button in the debug window.
* Don't treat "/messages/like/this " as commands.
* Explicitly mark user interaction when inserting smilies from the
