, 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 and tags.
- Support PingBox. PingBoxes will appear as pbx/PingBoxName.
+ Pidgin:
- Fix CVE-2010-0423, a denial of service attack due to the
parsing of large numbers of smileys.
- Correctly size conversation and status box entries when the
interior-focus style property is diabled.
- Correctly handle a multiline text field being required in a
request form.
- Search friends by email-addresses in the buddy list.
- Allow dropping an image on Custom Smiley window to add a new
one.
- Prompt for confirmation when clearing a whiteboard (doodle)
session.
- 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 toolbar so \"Undo\" correctly removes these smilies.
- Clicking \"New\" or \"Saved\" in the status selector menu while
typing a status message no longer keeps the status entry area
stuck in \"typing\" mode forever.
- Show tooltips for ellipsized conversation tabs. On older
systems, tooltips will show for all tabs.
- The File Transfers and Debug Window windows are no longer
created as dialogs. These windows should now have minimize
buttons in many environments in which they were previously
missing (including Windows).
- Smiley themes with Windows line endings no longer cause theme
descriptions not to be displayed in the theme selector.
+ Finch:
- Fix CVE-2010-0420, a possible remote crash when handling chat
room buddy names.
- Rebindable \'move-first\' and \'move-last\' actions for tree
widgets. So it is possible to jump to the first or last entry
in the buddy list (and other such lists) by pressing home or
end key (defaults)

latest Windows Live Messenger 9 official client. (Thomas
Gibson-Robinson)

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

every signin. You may need to remove duplicates in the Address
Book. See the FAQ for more information. Thanks to Jason Lingohr
for lots of debugging and testing.

* We now save and use the CacheKey for ABCH SOAP requests.

* Don\'t try to parse Personal Status Messages or Current Media if they
don\'t exist.

on incoming messages. This should fix some issues with messages from

a font already.

* Queue callbacks when token updates are in progress to prevent two token
update attempts from trampling each other.

prevents seeing an outdated alias or not seeing an alias at all for
buddies who are offline when you sign in.

* 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.

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.
XMPP:

* 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)

* 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
pidgin#6635.

* Tooltip windows now disappear on keypress events. (Kosta Arvanitis)

* Tooltip windows no longer linger when scrolling the buddy list. (Kosta
Arvanitis)
