http://www.marquard.net/jabber/#recommended,
specifically patch 58 which fixes the remote exploit listed at:
http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/382250
Patches included:
28* patch-jedi8-sm-object_c
Remove incorrect semicolumn from os_object_free() in sm/object.c

Fixes to mysql storage for boundary conditions
30* patch-base64
Fix length-related issues in base64 decoding routines
31* patch-sm-storage_db
Fixes to storage_db.c to avoid roster corruption: "sm/storage_db
inserts items in the filter hash table with keys which are located
on the stack. This creates confusion when the code later tries to
compare with these keys."
32* patch-nad-escape
Fixes bug in _nad_escape() where escaping ]]> can cause a segfault
when handling large messages where nad_realloc is called.
38* patch-jedi-pgsql-storage

length calculation

Fix minor memory leaks in digest-md5 authentication and nad_free()

already been used in the XML stanza

Fixes omission of prefix on attributes processed by nad_parse (e.g.
in queue storage)
49* patch-mod_disco_publish
Corrects check for deleting previously published disco items from
"delete" to "remove" (as per JEP-0030).
50* patch-sm-filter
Alters filter handling and adds mysql/pgsql escaping on filter
strings to allow brackets and apostrophes in resource names that
form part of JIDs stored as roster entries
58* patch-c2s-buffers
Fixes buffer overflow that can lead to segfault in c2s mysql and
pgsql auth modules - see report by icbm (www.venustech.com.cn)

Internal pkgsrc organization changes:
* depends on qca-tls for SSL support, functionality confirmed working;
this fixes PR#26120, PR#25444, PR#26665
* uses prepared psi language files, no longer using lrelease (the raw
language files are not part of distribution), only use DEPMETHOD=build
for qt3-tools
* Fixed bug with using [$8] in expressions (Reported by BlackJac)
(Patch from |Rain|) (BugID: 64) (powuh)

(Patch from |Rain|) (BugID: 20) (powuh)

If a rogue server sends us a ctcp request from an extremely large

negative value, which under gcc will return a invalid pointer the
contents of which will then be overwritten. (Reported by O_6)
(Patch from |Rain|) (powuh)
* Fixed segfault with channel mode parsing. (Patch from O_6) (powuh)

so that we'd not force dependance on specific MySQL version, and instead pick
the currently installed mysql*-client (or install the default if there
is no mysql-client package installed yet)
this makes package buildable with arbitrary MySQL version, such as 3.23.x,
4.0.x or 4.1.x

- Fixed one major problem with the daemon mode by getting rid of the global
IRC structure.

- Improved strip_html(), now less likely to strip non-HTML things.

4.11.0
------
HTTP CONNECT method is now supported. This means that if this feature is
enabled on your HTTP proxy server, you can use it to connect to your
favourite IM servers. You can also specify a user/pass pair if your
proxy requires authentification.
Applied a patch by Alexander Kanevskiy that fixed a weird behaviour of
the LJ import friend option in the accounts dialog.
In the multi-contact selection window not all contacts were shown unless
arranging users into groups was on in the configuration dialog.
GG used to disconnect when setting its status to N/A. Fixed that.
When LJ import friends feature was off deleting LJ friends from the list
was reflected server-side. Not it happens only if LJ friend
synchronization is on.
Now centericq only saves postponed messages if they contain at least one
character other than space, tab or a line-feed.
Centericq used to hang right at the start on some machines. Fixed that.
Sending Cyrillic letters over Yahoo! seems to be fixed now.
Centericq now sets its own title text in xterm and screen. The aim of
the messages in the title is to inform the user upon events receiving
and such.
Applied a patch by shaky that introduced status modes with descriptions
into GG.
RSS feed contact-list items now support specifying of login and password
for basic HTTP authorization.
The AOL TOC firetalk library was updated. Some major bugs were fixed by
this update. Cheers.
Jabber registration got broken in the previous version because of the
Jabber non-blocking connection patch. It has been fixed by the patch
author in this version :)
4.12.0
------
Fixed an MSN group management problem. Libmsn din't send a space character,
so group operations had no effect or led to disconnects.
With no SSL library found during the build the source failed to compile.
Fixed that.
Jabber server messages used to come from a nick that was similar to
the server name with an "@" sign at the end. That was unnecesary, so it's
not added anymore.
Added the --no-xtitles (-T) commmand line parameter, which disables
changing window titles in xterm and screen.
In LJ, if the whole friends name list grew more than 512, the LJ contact
got garbled. Fixed that. Now there musn't be any lenght limitation for the
records of info files.
The configure script now checks if libcurl has SSL support enabled in
order to avoid MSN malfunctions. It requires libcurl with SSL, so just
provide the MSN module with it if you want to use it.
is designed to be flexible and has many uses such as an IRC gateway for an IRC
network, a chat-room for a website or to access IRC when stuck behind a
restrictive firewall.
