* Development version 1.1.1dev (released 2007-11-24) hilights:
- Mostly internal changes (resolved some GPL issues, changed some parts of the
IM API).
- Support for Jabber chatrooms and an XML console.

* Remove a workaround for older versions gstreamer that was causing crashes
on some non-Linux systems such as HPUX
* Fix some cases of the conversation input entry area being 1 pixel high
* Fix for displaying channel & buddy names in conversation window when they
have '&' in them
* Some memory leak fixes, especially in the Text Replacement plugin
* Rectangular but non-square buddy icons have rounded corners in the buddy list
* 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

* 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.

This is a HIGHLY RECOMMENDED release. You SHOULD upgrade to it ASAP as it contains security fixes.
Major changes:
* dccallow: fix incorrect api usage
* mysql: fix race condition (crash) on unload
* core: LoopCall fix that fixes modules which call it in a command handler so that spanningtree doesnt break (useful for third party module authors only)
* snomasks: Accidentally hidden quits is fixed (it wasn't me, I swear --w00t)
* ssl: Reworded prompts in configure
* invisible: Fix multiple +Q and -Q notices (harmless)
* configreader: Better checking of newline values
* swhois: Don't desync when setting a title on an already-titled user.
* new module: m_ldapauth
connecting to something. Putting 'sleep 5' in sm's rc.d script
resolves the problem. (The right fix is to for all programs to ensure
that they are ready to provide all defined services before the
top-level command exits, but that's much harder.) PKGREVISION++.
No maintainer; wip package initially imported by xtraeme.
Tkabber is a free client for an instant messaging system called
Jabber. It is written in Tcl/Tk and supports many features like
support of unicode, ssl support, http proxy, file transfers and
support of multi-user conference protocol.
I don't know why this DESCR says "ssl" but TODO also says "ssl".
* Color is used in the buddylist to indicate status, and the conversation
window to indicate various message attributes. Look at the sample gntrc
file in the man page for details.
* The default keybinding for dump-screen is now M-D and uses a file
request dialog. M-d will properly delete-forward-word, and M-f has been
fixed to imitate readline's behavior.
* New bindings alt+tab and alt+shift+tab to help navigating between the
higlighted windows (details on the man page).
* Recently signed on (or off) buddies blink in the buddy list.
* New action 'Room List' in the action list can be used to get the list of
available chat rooms for an online account.
* The 'Grouping' plugin can be used for alternate grouping in the
buddylist. The current options are 'Group Online/Offline' and 'No
Group'.
* Added a log viewer
* Added the ability to block/unblock buddies - see the buddy context menu
and the menu for the buddy list.
* Fixed a bug preventing finch working on x86_64
Pidgin:
* Added the ability to theme conversation name colors (red and blue)
through your GTK+ theme, and exposed those theme settings to the
Pidgin GTK+ Theme Control plugin (Dustin Howett)
* Fixed having multiple alias edit areas in the infopane (Elliott Sales
de Andrade)
* Save the conversation "Enable Logging" option per-contact (Moos
Heintzen)
* Typing notifications are now shown in the conversation area
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 Yahoo! Messenger 7.0+ file transfer method (Thanumalayan S.)
* Support for retrieving full names and addresses from the address book
on Yahoo! Japan (Yusuke Odate)
* The AIM/ICQ server-side preference for "allow others to see me
as idle" is no longer unconditionally set to "yes" even when
your libpurple preference is "no."
* Fix SSL certificate checks for renewed certificates
* Fix the ability to set vCard buddy icons on Google Talk/XMPP
* D-Bus fixes on 64bit
* Fixed retrieval of buddy icons and setting of server-side aliases on
Yahoo! and Yahoo! Japan when using an HTTP proxy server (Gideon N.
Guillen)
* Fixed an MSN bug that would leave you appearing offline when transferred
to different server
platforms.
+ Remove -lcurses from link command -- icb only needs termcap support,
and then only for the embedded readline library.
Bump the PKGREVISION to 4.
The key changes are that users will now quit faster (e.g. in netsplits, glines, etc)
K|G|Z|E:Line can now also be used on a nickname - e.g. /zline w00t 1d :foo would place an IP ban on my IP for one day.
A low risk crash with m_invisible and m_watch was also fixed.
Other miscellaneous fixes are also included
