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.
2007/06/10 .62 Backported 5.1 fix for a bug allowing guest nicknames to be
linked.
This release fixes two security-related bugs discovered in version 5.1 which
are also present in 5.0.
Another release has been issued in the 1.1.x stable line, following up with a
few minor fixes to issues in previous releases. In particular, a small number
of problems in the new m_ident have been addressed. A bug which lead to blank
quit messages has also been fixed.
Version 1.0.4 (released 2007-08-20) hilights:
- Removed call to sethostent() from proxy.c, this caused a lot of
problems especially for people on *BSD.
- Just some small bugfixes.
(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
Sort variables depending on ${EMACS_FLAVOR} (emacs or xemacs). Prefer
assignment to conditional. Include mk/emacs.mk lazily.
No functional changes intended.
from the 1.2 trunk. Fixes include a (yet again) refactored m_ident that
should finally adress stability issues some setups encountered with it, fixes
to failover linking (it shouldn't cause splits unnecessarily now) and
some sockets will no longer block on some operating systems.
CHGIDENT is now also silent when issued from U:Lines, for Anope users.
While here, fixes PR 30307, ipv6 option isn't supported since version 1.6.16.

- Added inline check_bind_flags() for flag checking for check_tcl_bind().
- Added inline check_bind_match() for match checking for check_tcl_bind().

* Patch by: Tothwolf
- Added support to MSGM, PUBM, NOTC, and WALL binds to support bound
procs returning 1 to prevent logging of the trigger message text.
Fixes Bugzilla Bug # 334 "msgm bind return values"
- Added BIND_STACKRET bit mask and support for stacked bind return values
to check_tcl_bind(). This allows check_tcl_bind() to check if any
stacked bound procs return 1 while allowing all matching stacked binds
to be processed. Previously if BIND_WANTRET was used to check the
return value of stacked binds, only the first match would be triggered.
- Modified irc.mod gotmsg() function to trigger PUBM binds before
triggering PUB binds. MSGM and MSG binds already worked this way.
- Modified irc.mod gotmsg() function to allow a message to trigger both
PUBM and PUB binds. Previously if a message triggered a PUB bind, any
PUBM binds that might match the message text would not be triggered.
Fixes Bugzilla Bug # 351 "bind pub hogs pubm"
- Added exclusive-binds setting and code to gotmsg() functions to
allow MSGM and PUBM binds to be exclusive of MSG and PUB binds.
- Fixed logging for WALL bind. It had been broken since it was
originally implemented in eggdrop-hayes. Wallops messages were always
logged regardless of the return value of a bound proc. Returning '1'
from a bound proc now causes Eggdrop to not log the Wallops message.
* Patch by: Tothwolf
- Check for Tcl 8.5 before older versions.
* Patch by: Tothwolf
