While here, better fix for PR#45190.
chat/finch itself does not depend on devel/nspr.
chat/libpurple without gnutls option, libpurple is linked with nspr,
so it must be handle in libpurple/buildlink3.mk.

John: Just a quick release for a security fix here. Elliott has not
yet had a chance to work on the MSN breakage that's been present in
the last couple releases, but we hope he can do it before 2.7.10!
Changes 2.7.8:
Elliott: OK, so I know a few things broke with the last release, and
it's too bad we had to rush it for that silly certificate thing that
the MSN people can't configure properly. I've certainly done a lot of
small fixes this time, but it's too bad we haven't been able to get the
transfers with the official client fixed yet. I promise it'll be in
the next release (barring any quick security issues).
John: So, it's been about a month since we last released. Again, we've
assembled a bugfix release for your enjoyment. While a few commonly
reported bugs remain, particularly in MSN, we're working on it for the
next release. In the meantime, Merry Christmas and enjoy!
Changes 2.7.7:
John: Well, this time around, we should finally have the certificate
issue really and fully fixed for all of you MSN users. Also, we have
a few AIM-related fixes in this release, most notably the fix for the
new "SSL Handshake Failure" message some of you got after upgrading.
That one was an oversight on our part. Enjoy the fixes!
* Lots of little incremental bug fixes and enhancements in this release.
* Finally got some fixes out there for you Yahoo users behind some
particularly annoying firewalls and proxies, among other fixes. Enjoy!
Changes 2.7.2:
* We discovered a security issue in Pidgin 2.7.0 and 2.7.1 and decided to
release a patched version quickly. This release contains the fix for that
crash, and a few other minor fixes.
Additional changes:
Fix farsight handling in libpurple.
Set LICENSE.
2.6.2 (09/05/2009):
Mark: Woo boy it's been a busy two weeks. There was a lot of new code
in 2.6.0, and with new code comes new bugs. The cadre of relentless
developers responsible for Pidgin have been hard at work, and I believe
they have fixed all the major bugs that cropped up. My thanks to all
those names listed as Current Developers in Pidgin's 'About' window.
Elliott: Well now, just as Mark said, there was a lot of new stuff that
probably came up with tons of bugs. So I can't say I wrote anything
super-awesome, but I definitely fixed quite a few of those itty-bitty
why-didn't-this-work-this-way sort of bugs.
Update:
chat/finch to 2.6.1
chat/libpurple to 2.6.1
chat/pidgin to 2.6.1
chat/pidgin-sametime to 2.6.1
chat/pidgin-silc to 2.6.1
major changes:
o addition of farsight support for voice/video chats (untested, new option on by default)
o addition of dependency on devel/libidn
o addition of gstreamer option for libpurple (on by default)
ICQ:
* Fix misparsing a web message as an SMS message. (Yuriy Kaminskiy)
MSN:
Increase NS command history size to prevent crashes on buddy lists that
have a lot of buddies on other networks like Yahoo!.
MySpace:
* Accounts with empty buddy lists are now properly marked as connected.
* Fix receiving messages from users of MySpace IM's web client.
Yahoo:
* Fixed phantom online buddies. They should now properly disappear when
signing out.
* Fixed the crashes some users were seeing with cn.scs.msg.yahoo.com in
2.5.7.
* Fixed compiling on systems with glib 2.4.x or older.
* Fixed an issue with file transfers. This may not resolve all issues,
but it should resolve at least some of the most common ones.
* The pager server will automatically update to scsa.msg.yahoo.com if the
user empties the field or if it is scs.msg.yahoo.com. This should ease
the pain of transition to the new login method.
XMPP:
* Fix an incompatibility betweeen Prosody and libpurple clients.
Shared directories can now be created independently by the pacakges
needing them and will be removed automatically by pkg_delete when empty.
Packages needing empty directories can use the @pkgdir command in PLIST.
Discussed and ok'd in thread starting at
http://mail-index.netbsd.org/tech-pkg/2009/06/30/msg003546.html
* Yahoo Protocol 16 support, including new HTTPS login method; this should
fix a number of login problems that have recently cropped up. (Sulabh
Mahajan, Mike "Maiku" Ruprecht)
* Only display the AIM "Unable to Retrieve Buddy List" message once per
connection. (Rob Taft)
* Blocking MSN users not on your buddy list no longer disconnects you.
* When performing operations on MSN, assume users are on the MSN/Passport
network if we don't get network ID's for them.
This changes the buildlink3.mk files to use an include guard for the
recursive include. The use of BUILDLINK_DEPTH, BUILDLINK_DEPENDS,
BUILDLINK_PACKAGES and BUILDLINK_ORDER is handled by a single new
variable BUILDLINK_TREE. Each buildlink3.mk file adds a pair of
enter/exit marker, which can be used to reconstruct the tree and
to determine first level includes. Avoiding := for large variables
(BUILDLINK_ORDER) speeds up parse time as += has linear complexity.
The include guard reduces system time by avoiding reading files over and
over again. For complex packages this reduces both %user and %sys time to
half of the former time.
version 2.5.5;
version 2.5.5 (03/01/2009):
libpurple:
* Fix a crash when removing an account with an unknown protocol id.
* Beta support for SSL connections for AIM and ICQ accounts. To
enable, check the "Use SSL" option from the Advanced tab when
editing your AIM or ICQ account. (Paul Aurich)
* Fix a memory leak in SILC. (Luke Petre)
* Fix some string handling in the SIMPLE prpl, which fixes some buddy name
handling and other issues. (Paul Aurich, Marcus Sundberg)

ICQ:
* Fix retrieval of status messages from users of ICQ 6.x, Miranda, and
other libpurple clients. (Daniel Ljungborg)
* Change client ID to match ICQ Basic 14.34.3096. This fixes publishing
of buddy icons and available messages.
* Properly publish status messages for statuses other than Available.
ICQ 6.x users can now see these status messages. (Daniel Ljungborg)
* Fix receipt of messages from the mobile client Slick. (David Jedelsky)

latest Windows Live Messenger 9 official client. (Thomas
Gibson-Robinson)
* Large (multi-part) messages are now correctly re-combined.
* Federated/Yahoo! buddies should now stop creating sync issues at
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.
* Messages from Yahoo! buddies are no longer silently dropped.
* 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.
* Convert from ISO-8859-1 encoding to UTF-8 when no charset is specified
on incoming messages. This should fix some issues with messages from
older clients.
* Force sending the font "Segoe UI" if outgoing formatting doesn't specify
a font already.
* Queue callbacks when token updates are in progress to prevent two token
update attempts from trampling each other.
* Fixed a crash on Windows when removing a buddy's alias.
* Update the Address Book when buddies' friendly names change. This
prevents seeing an outdated alias or not seeing an alias at all for
buddies who are offline when you sign in.
* Update tokens for FindMembership and ABFindAll SOAP requests.
* 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.
* Buddies on both the Allow and Block list are now automatically
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
#6635.
Pidgin:
* Tooltip windows now appear below the mouse cursor. (Kosta Arvanitis)
* Tooltip windows now disappear on keypress events. (Kosta Arvanitis)
* Tooltip windows no longer linger when scrolling the buddy list. (Kosta
Arvanitis)
Finch:
* Allow rebinding keys to change the focused widget (details in the
man-page, look for GntBox::binding)
version 2.5.4 (01/12/2009):
libpurple:
* Fix a connection timeout with empty Gadu-Gady buddy lists. (Martin
Rosinski)

on MSN.
* Extended purple-url-handler to handle "gtalk" URI's. (Paul Aurich)

* 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

libpurple:
* Yahoo! Japan now uses UTF-8, matching the behavior of official clients
and restoring compatibility with the web messenger (Yusuke Odate)
* Setting your buddy icon once again works for Yahoo! accounts.
* Fixes in the Yahoo! protocol to prevent a double free, crashes on
aliases, and alias functionality
* Fix crashes in the bonjour protocol
* Always use UTF-8 for Yahoo! (#5973)
* Fix a crash when the given jabber id is invalid.
* Make the IRC "unknown message" debugging messages UTF-8 safe.
* Fix connecting to ICQ
* Fix a memleak when handling jabber xforms.
Pidgin:
* Include the send button plugin in the win32 build
* Various memory leak fixes
o In MySpaceIM, messages from spambots are discarded (Justin Williams)
o Strip mIRC formatting codes from quit and part messages.
o IRC now displays ban lists in-channel for joined channels.
o Fixed a bug where the list of loaded plugins would get removed when
switching between different operating systems.
o Fix reception of IRC PART without a part message on Undernet
(fixes a problem with litter in the channel user list).
o IRC no longer crashes on /list on servers which erroneously omit RPL_LISTSTART
o Update the NetworkManager support to use D-Bus directly, instead of
libnm-glib. Hopefully it's stable now. It will now compile by default if you
have D-Bus support and NetworkManager.h. (Elliott Sales de Andrade)
o MSN buddy list synchronization is now more forgiving, only asking about
buddies who have disappeared completely from the server list and not those
that have simply moved groups.
o IRC will now try to append 1-9 to your nick if it is in use, instead of
substituting the last character with 1-9 where possible.
o Bonjour buddies will be saved persistently if they're moved out of the
"Bonjour" group. (Eion Robb)
* Treat AIM Unicode messages as UTF-16 rather than UCS-2; this should have no functional effect, other than continued support on systems which have dropped UCS-2 conversions.
* Add support for setting buddy icons on Gadu-Gadu (Tomasz Salacinski)
* Fix a crash when clearing the buddy icon for an account on XMPP
* Fix a crash during login for some ICQ accounts
* Prefer more available resources on XMPP when priorities are equal
* Fix incorrectly marking some Yahoo! contacts as blocked
* Improved handling of UTF-8 group names on ICQ (beret)
* Fix a crash when starting if you have a Zephyr account
* Increase XMPP ping timeout to 120 seconds, to prevent poor network connections from timing out unnecessarily.
* Don't crash on XMPP forms with empty default values.
* Fix issues with CHAP authentication for SOCKS5 proxies.
libpurple:
* Added support for offline messages for AIM accounts (thanks to
Matthew Goldstein)
* Fixed various problems with loss of status messages when going
or returning from idle on MySpaceIM.
* Eliminated unmaintained Howl backend implementation for the
Bonjour protocol. Avahi (or Apple's Bonjour runtime on win32) is
now required to use Bonjour.
* Partial support for viewing ICQ status notes (Collin from
ComBOTS GmbH).
* Support for /notice on IRC.

* Support for retrieving full names and addresses from the address book
on Yahoo! Japan (Yusuke Odate)

version 2.3.0 (11/24/2007):
http://developer.pidgin.im/query?status=closed&milestone=2.3.0
Some highlights from ChangeLog:
Pidgin:
* Connection errors are now reported in mini-dialogs inside the buddy
list, rather than as buttons in the buddy list and with dialog
boxes. If several accounts are disabled when you sign on elsewhere,
you can now re-enable them all with a single click.
* If you alias a buddy to an alias that is already present within
a particular group, we now offer to merge the buddies into the
same contact.
* A music emblem is now displayed in the buddy list for a buddy if we
know she is listening to some soothing music.
* Added a 'Move to' menu in buddy list context menu for moving buddies
to other groups as an alternative to dragging.
* It is now possible to mark a chat on your buddy list as "Persistent"
so you do not leave the chat when the window or tab is closed.
* The auto-join option for chats is now listed in the "Add Chat"
dialog along with the new persistence option.
* Closing an IM no longer immediately closes your conversation. It
will now remain active for a short time so that if the conversation
resumes, the history will be retained. A preference has been added
to toggle this behavior.
* The "Smiley" menu has been moved to the top-level of the toolbar.
* Pidgin's display is now saved with the command line for session
restoration. (David Mohr)
* ICQ Birthday notifications are shown as buddy list emblems.
* Plugin actions are now available from the docklet context menu
in addition to the Tool menu of the buddy list.
* The manual page has been heavily rewritten to bring it in line
with current functionality.
Finch:
* It's possible to bind key-strokes to specific menuitems in the windows.
Read the 'Menus' section in the man-page for details.
* 'transpose-chars' operation for the entry boxes. The default key-binding
is ctrl+t.
* 'yank' operation for the entry boxes. The default binding is ctrl+y.
(A remote user can cause a DoS by sending a message with invalid HTML.)
version 2.2.2 (10/23/2007):
http://developer.pidgin.im/query?status=closed&milestone=2.2.2
NOTE: Due to the way this release was made, it is possible that
bugs marked as fixed in 2.2.1 or 2.2.2 will not be fixed
until the next release.
* Various bug and memory leak fixes
vulnerability CVE-2007-4996:
"MSN nudges sent from unknown buddies can cause libpurple to crash"
Other changes:
libpurple:
* A few build issues on Solaris were fixed.
* Cancelling the password prompt for an account will no longer leave
it in an ambiguous state. (It will be disabled.)
* Fixed an erroneous size display for MSN file transfers. (galt)
* Fixed multiple memory leaks, particularly in XMPP and MySpace protocols
* Fixed remembering proxy preferences and status scores
* Gmail notifications are better tracked
Pidgin:
* Fixed keyboard tab reordering to move tabs one step instead of two.
* You should no longer lose proxy settings when Pidgin is restarted.
* Fixed detection of X11 when compiling
Finch:
* Pressing 'Insert' in the buddylist will bring up the 'Add Buddy'
dialog.
The intltool that comes bundled with libpurple doesn't like NetBSD's
/usr/bin/iconv, so switch libpurple to use intltool from pkgsrc.
ChangeLog:
Version 2.2.0 (09/13/2007):
http://developer.pidgin.im/query?status=closed&milestone=2.2.0
Libpurple:
* New protocol plugin: MySpaceIM (Jeff Connelly, Google Summer of
Code)
* XMPP enhancements. See
http://www.adiumx.com/blog/2007/07/soc-xmpp-update.php (Andreas
Monitzer, Google Summer of Code for Adium)
* Certificate management. Libpurple will validate certificates on
SSL-encrypted protocols (William Ehlhardt, Google Summer of Code)
* Some adjustments were made to fix sending messages when using
the MSN HTTP method. (Laszlo Pandy)
* Yahoo! Chat is fixed.
* Some AIM file transfer issues between Pidgin and other clients
have been fixed. (Kyryll A Mirnenko)
* Properly restore idle status and time for AIM and ICQ accounts
when they reconnect after being disconnected.
Pidgin:
* Insert Horizontal Rules and Strikethrough text from toolbar.
* Option to show protocol icons in the buddy list, from the
Buddies > Show menu. (Justin Heiner)
* Ability to build with native, non-X11 GTK+ on OSX. (Anders
Hasselqvist)
* Remember the 'Enable Sounds' setting for a conversation.
* Right-clicking the empty space in the formatting toolbar
allows you to toggle back to the old "ungrouped" version.
* Protocols supporting account registration via Pidgin now show
a descriptive checkbox instead of a vague "Register" button.
* Fixed a bug where a tab would be shown on single conversations
when tabs were disabled.
Finch:
* Per-conversation mute and logging options (accessible from the menu).
Version 2.1.1 (08/20/2007):
Yahoo:
* Added an account action to open your inbox in the yahoo prpl.
* Added support for Unicode status messages in Yahoo.
* Server-stored aliases for Yahoo. (John Moody)
* Fixed support for Yahoo! doodling.
* Limited support for MSN Messenger contacts
Bonjour:
* Bonjour plugin uses native Avahi instead of Howl
* Bonjour plugin supports Buddy Icons
XMPP:
* Only report conversation close when 'send typing notifications'
preference is turned on (Bob Rossi)
Pidgin:
* Show current outgoing conversation formatting on the font label on
the toolbar
* Slim new redesign of conversation tabs to maximize number of
conversations that can fit in a window
* Tab bar is not visible when only one conversation is open. You can
drag and drop conversations from the infopane.
* Moved "Reset Formatting" toolbar button to Font menu.
* Double click on the infopane to alias buddies and set topics
on chats
* New smiley style
Finch:
* Sound support (Eric Polino)
must be done, and FreeBSD documents sys/types.h. Assume for the
moment that because sys/sysctl.h is a BSD44 feature that all such
systems will have sys/param.h, pending an upstream fix.
Updates of pidgin and finch will follow shortly.
pkgsrc changes are some cleanup and removal of the 900kB patch-ac.
I'm not sure if this will break anything, but nobody knew the reason
of it's existence. Any fallout should be dealt with appropriately instead.
Maintainer reset to pkgsrc-users@ at previous maintainer's wish.
version 2.1.0 (07/28/2007):
libpurple:
* Core changes to allow UIs to use second-granularity for scheduling.
Pidgin and Finch, which use the glib event loop, were changed to use
g_timeout_add_seconds() on glib >= 2.14 when possible. This allows
glib to better group our longer timers to increase power efficiency.
(Arjan van de Ven with Intel Corporation)
* No longer linkifies screennames containing @ signs in join/part
notifications in chats
* With the HTML logger, images in conversations are now saved.
