reviewed manually.
There are some .include lines that still are indented with zero spaces
although the surrounding .if is indented. This is existing practice.
Unsorted entries in PLIST files have generated a pkglint warning for at
least 12 years. Somewhat more recently, pkglint has learned to sort
PLIST files automatically. Since pkglint 5.4.23, the sorting is only
done in obvious, simple cases. These have been applied by running:
pkglint -Cnone,PLIST -Wnone,plist-sort -r -F

time. MSNP18 has been discontinued and the protocol plugin would require a
large update to start working again. See: http://ismsndeadyet.com/ The
third-party Pidgin SkypeWeb plugin, however, should provide enough
functionality as a replacement if people still want to use MSN:
https://github.com/EionRobb/skype4pidgin/tree/master/skypeweb

September 2016. See

* Removed the MySpaceIM protocol plugin. The service has been defunct for a
long time. (#15356)
* Remove the Yahoo! protocol plugin. Yahoo has completely
reimplemented their protocol, so this version is no longer operable as
of August 5th, 2016:
https://yahoo.tumblr.com/post/145715934739/q2-2016-progress-report-on-our-product
A new protocol plugin has been written to support the new protocol.
It can be found here: https://github.com/EionRobb/funyahoo-plusplus
This also removes support for Yahoo! Japan. According to
http://messenger.yahoo.co.jp/ the service ended March 26th, 2014.
* Remove the Facebook (XMPP) account option. According to
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/chat the XMPP Chat API service

version 2.10.12 (MM/DD/YY):
Windows-Specific Changes:
* Updates to dependencies:
* Cyrus SASL 2.1.26

Problems found with existing distfiles:
distfiles/icb-5.0.9.tar.gz
distfiles/icb.2.1.4.tar.Z
distfiles/zenicb-19981202.tar.gz
No changes made to these /distinfo files.
Otherwise, existing SHA1 digests verified and found to be the same on
the machine holding the existing distfiles (morden). All existing
SHA1 digests retained for now as an audit trail.
Without this patch the configure script might find gconftool-2(1) installed
on the system, and then create and install a schema anyway - and in the
wrong location.
"please commit" dholland@

man-in-the-middle to impersonate an IM server or any other https
endpoint. This affected both the NSS and GnuTLS plugins. (Discovered
by an anonymous person and Jacob Appelbaum of the Tor Project, with
thanks to Moxie Marlinspike for first publishing about this type of
vulnerability. Thanks to Kai Engert for guidance and for some of the
NSS changes) (CVE-2014-3694)
* Allow and prefer TLS 1.2 and 1.1 when using the NSS plugin for SSL.

possibly even a malicious remote user could create a carefully crafted
XMPP message that causes libpurple to send an XMPP message containing
arbitrary memory. (Discovered and fixed by Thijs Alkemade and Paul
Aurich) (CVE-2014-3698)
* Fix Facebook XMPP roster quirks. (#15041, #15957)
Yahoo:
* Fix login when using the GnuTLS library for TLS connections. (#16172)
Do it for all packages that
* mention perl, or
* have a directory name starting with p5-*, or
* depend on a package starting with p5-
like last time, for 5.18, where this didn't lead to complaints.
Let me know if you have any this time.
finch does not compile with python-3.3. Since libpurple is not versioned
and finch pulls it in, we have to mark libpurple too, and then pidgin
because of libpurple. It's all one codebase anyway...

General:
* Python build scripts and example plugins are now compatible with
Python 3. (Ashish Gupta) (#15624)

* Fix handling of multibyte UTF-8 characters in smiley themes. (#15756)
Windows-Specific Changes:
* When clicking file:// links, show the file in Explorer rather than
attempting to run the file. This reduces the chances of a user
clicking on a link and mistakenly running a malicious file.
