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.
by multimedia/gst-plugins0.10-base. Even if it doesn't find what it's
looking for, it still has a tendency to attempt to link in gstinterfaces-0.10,
which fails. Fix this by buildlinking in multimedia/gst-plugins0.10-base.
Bump PKGREVISION, since gstreamer is a default option and there is possibly
something not quite right about versions of this package where the build
was successful without the apparently required buildlinking.
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)
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
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 2.5.3;
Version 2.5.3 (12/20/2008)

o Quit trying to get user info for MUC's. (Paul Aurich)
o Send "client-accepts-full-bind-result" attribute during SASL login. This will fix Google Talk login failures if the user configures the wrong domain for his/her account.

* 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
o Moved the release notification dialog to a mini-dialog in the buddylist. (Casey Ho)
o Fix a crash when closing an authorization minidialog with the X then immediately going offline. (Paul Aurich)
