telepathy-glib 0.7.22 (2009-01-13)
==================================
The "TP_STRUCT_TYPE_BROWN_PAPER_BAG" release.
Fixes:
* Accept message=NULL in tp_group_mixin_change_members, as documented and true
in the past, rather than crashing.
telepathy-glib 0.7.21 (2009-01-12)
==================================
The "TP_HASH_TYPE_PINT_HOBGOBLIN_MOUTH_MAP" release.
Enhancements:
* Updated to spec version 0.17.17
- Added TP_HASH_TYPE_HANDLE_IDENTIFIER_MAP and
TP_HASH_TYPE_MESSAGE_PART_CONTENT_MAP
* (Finally) merged TpMessageMixin, which can be used in place of TpTextMixin to
implement the Messages interface on Text channels.
* The examples have been made more exemplary, using TpChannelManager in place
of TpChannelFactoryIface, implementing Destroyable and respawning 1-1 text
channels which are closed with pending messages.
* Added a TP_COMPILER_WARNINGS macro to simplify choosing compiler warnings in
configure.ac, and forked a version of AS_COMPILER_FLAG that supports C++ so
that TP_COMPILER_WARNINGS can be used for C++ projects (such as
telepathy-qt4). Other projects using telepathy-glib's warnings might want to
copy m4/tp-compiler-*.m4 and use TP_COMPILER_WARNINGS.
* Added support to TpGroupMixin for emitting the MembersChangedDetailed signal
(fd.o #19050 and #19052), and to TpChannel for listening to it when possible
(fd.o #19051).
* Added tp_channel_get_identifier
* Added support for parsing the dbus-property CM parameter flag (introduced in
spec 0.17.16) from .manager files (fd.o #19053).
Fixes:
* Various Win32 portability fixes (from Sunil Mohan Adapa on fd.o #19461).
* fd.o #19101: tp_connection_get_contacts_by_id() crashes
This plugin adds a libnotify interface to pidgin, enabling popups much like
guifications. It has some configuration options, to show popups when a buddy
signs on, on new messages and on new conversations only.
Don't forget to enable the plugin in Tools->Plugins.
telepathy-gabble 0.7.18 (2009-01-06)
====================================
The "The Orchestral Tubular Socks"
Enhancements:
* Implement SOCKS5 bytestreams (XEP-0065) in stream tubes.
* Implement a stream initiation fallback mechanism allowing to use IBB if
we can't connect to peer using SOCKS5.
Fixes:
* Don't crash on setting presence if there are open MUC Tubes.
* Stream tube channel advertises the immutable channel properties,
including those not on the Channel interface.
telepathy-gabble 0.7.17 (2008-12-14)
====================================
The "I accidentally an entire call *and* MUC" release.
Dependencies:
* dbus 1.1.0 (D-Bus Tubes are no longer conditionally compiled)
* dbus-glib 0.78 (fixes support for complex types in hashtables)
Enhancements:
* Add support for the new draft ContactCapabilities spec to communicate tube
capabilities.
Fixes:
* Incoming Jingle calls are no longer automatically accepted when the call is
connected and the local codecs are ready.
* Incoming MUC invites are no longer automatically accepted when changing your
presence.
* fd.o #18918: Send codec parameters according to XEP-0167.
* Various Jingle tweaks.
telepathy-gabble 0.7.16 (2008-12-02)
====================================
The "what could possibly go wrong" release.
This release contains the reworked Jingle engine with support for latest
Jingle draft (XEP-0166 v0.32), and Google's Jingle variants as used in
their desktop client and recently launched Googlemail client.
This release has no known regressions, but as we have done extensive changes
to the Jingle engine, you might want to restrict this release to experimental
distributions like Debian experimental and Fedora rawhide for now.
Enhancements:
* fd.o #15908: refactor Jingle state machine
* fd.o #15907: Update real-Jingle implementation to XEP-0166 v0.25
* fd.o #13159: support current Google Talk protocol
* Misc Tubes-related enhancements and fixes
Fixes:
* fd.o #18404: fix race condition in tests/twisted/roster/ensure.py
* Fixes for double freeing in dispose in channel managers
telepathy-glib 0.7.20 (2008-12-14)
==================================
The "xfs_freeze stole the night" release.
Enhancements:
* Updated to spec version 0.17.16
- Generate code for the Messages interface, which is now undrafted.
Fixes:
* fd.o #18845: don't throw a critical error from TpConnection if the
corresponding CM falls off the bus.
* fd.o #18926: avoid using a non-top-level GLib header
telepathy-glib 0.7.19 (2008-12-01)
==================================
The "fast path" release.
Enhancements:
* TpContact now has a fast path using the Contacts interface to reduce
D-Bus round-trips, if supported
* tp_connection_get_contact_attributes integrates the Contacts interface
with TpConnection's handle reference tracking at a lower level
* TpChannel now tracks its immutable properties (as provided by
Requests.NewChannels, Requests.CreateChannel and Requests.EnsureChannel),
can be constructed from a dictionary of immutable properties
(tp_channel_new_from_properties), and has a fast path using GetAll to reduce
round trips (if supported); when constructed from a dictionary of immutable
properties, non-Group channels should become 'ready' in a single round-trip
* Only use the Properties mixin in there are properties defined
Fixes:
* fd.o #15092: mixins in a superclass should now work correctly in subclasses
* fd.o #18151: tp_base_connection_dispose asserts if there are two connections to the same account

- Fixed channel MAC key setting in JOIN notify and command reply.
- Fix reference count bug leading to memory corruption on duplicate deletions.
- Avoid NULL dereference when leaving a channel with a private key.
- Fix crash on expired keyboard prompts.
- Add support for autosendcmd on channel entries.
libmsn is a C++ library for Microsoft's MSN Messenger service. It provides
a high-level interface that allows an application to access instant messaging
features with ease.
to transparently connect to IRC from anywhere on the world to your nick. It
connects to one or more IRC servers and then allows you to connect to it
with any number of clients, providing access to these servers. This is very
useful if you don't want to leave IRC but still want to be able to use it
from home, school or work.
Convert m_shun and m_cban to use new XLine framework
Allow for custom prefixes to be used in /notice #chan e.g. &
/WATCH away notification
Exceptions for m_denychans.
userrec::HasPermission -> map of maps, for (even faster) access

* Pidgin
o On GTK+ 2.14 and higher, we're using the gtk-tooltip-delay setting instead of our own (hidden) tooltip_delay pref. If you had previously changed that pref, add a line like this to ~/.purple/gtkrc-2.0 (where 500 is the timeout (in ms) you want):
gtk-tooltip-timeout = 500
To completely disable tooltips (e.g. if you had an old tooltip_delay of zero), add this to ~/.purple/gtkrc-2.0:
gtk-enable-tooltips = 0

Empathy consists of a rich set of reusable instant messaging widgets,
and a GNOME client using those widgets. It uses Telepathy and
Nokia's Mission Control, and reuses Gossip's UI. The main goal is
to permit desktop integration by providing libempathy and libempathy-gtk
libraries. libempathy-gtk is a set of powerful widgets that can be
embeded into any GNOME application.
Current features
* Multi-protocol: Jabber, Gtalk, MSN, IRC, Salut, and all
supported by pidgin
* Account editor (specialized UI for most protocols)
* Auto away and extended away using gnome-screensaver
* Auto re-connect using Network Manager
* Private and group chat (with smileys, spellcheck)
* Powerful theme engine for chats
* Log conversations, view/search in logs and prepend logs in
new chats
* Adding new contacts and viewing/editing contact information
* Voice and Video call using SIP and Jingle
* Python bindings for libempathy and libempathy-gtk
* Collaborative work using Tubes
Mission Control, or MC, is a Telepathy component providing a way
for "end-user" applications to abstract some of the details of
connection managers, to provide a simple way to manipulate a bunch
of connection managers at once, and to remove the need to have in
each program the account definitions and credentials.
Misson Control implements some well-defined API's much like each
connection manager respond to a set of well-defined telepathy API's.
The set of API's implemented by MCs will be split in several
interfaces to ease progressive and adaptative implementation of
each facet.
There are different types of files that the MC will use, and that
are installed by the various connection managers package or
third-party application needing to be hooked-in. MC is able to
handle all those file formats as expected.
The Telepathy project is building a unified framework for many
different kinds of real-time communications. It uses the D-Bus
messaging system to provide a simple interface for client applications,
allowing them to quickly take advantage of Telepathy's benefits.
* Real-time: Telepathy supports instant messaging (both one-to-one
and in groups), voice calls and video calls; it's less suited for
store-and-forward applications like email
* Unified: Many different programs can take advantage of these
communications; Telepathy lets these programs work together
* Framework: Telepathy allows the different aspects of communication
handling to be divided between different parts of the system,
meaning each part is simpler
This is a library for GLib-based Telepathy components.
Telepathy is a D-Bus framework for unifying real time communication,
including instant messaging, voice calls and video calls. It
abstracts differences between protocols to provide a unified
interface for applications.
Changes since ircII 20060725:
o /on channel_signoff works again
o try to split ICB messages at word boundaries
o disallow many IRC commands on ICB
o /ping works on ICB
o revert the utf-8 changes for large lastlog performance reasons.
there should be a re-implementation coming in the future.
