Version 2.5.3 (12/20/2008)

    * libpurple
          o The Buddy State Notification plugin no longer prints duplicate \ 
notifications when the same buddy is in multiple groups. (Florian Quèze)
          o The Buddy State Notification plugin no longer turns JID's, MSN \ 
Passport ID's, etc. into links. (Florian Quèze)
          o purple-remote now has a "getstatusmessage" command to \ 
retrieve the text of the current status message.
          o Various fixes to the nullprpl. (Paul Aurich)
          o Fix a crash when accessing the roomlist for an account that's not \ 
connected. (Paul Aurich)
          o Fix a crash in purple_accounts_delete that happens when this \ 
function is called before the buddy list is initialized. (Florian Quèze)
          o Fix use of av_len in perl bindings to fix some off-by-one bugs. \ 
(Paul Aurich)
          o On ICQ, advertise the ICQ 6 typing capability. This should fix the \ 
reports of typing notifications not working with third-party clients. \ 
(Jaromír Karmazín)
          o Many QQ fixes and improvements, including the ability to connect \ 
using QQ2008 protocol and sending/receiving of long messages. The recommended \ 
version to use is still QQ2005.
          o Fix a crash with DNS SRV lookups. (Florian Quèze)
          o Fix a crash caused by authorization requests. (Florian Quèze)

    * Gadu-Gadu

Strzelecki)

    * MSN
          o Fix an error with offline messages by shipping the new \ 
"Microsoft Secure Server Authority" and the "Microsoft Internet \ 
Authority" certificates. These are now always installed even when using \ 
--with-system-ssl-certs because most systems don't ship those intermediate \ 
certificates.
          o The Games and Office media can now be set and displayed (in addition \ 
to the previous Music media). The Media status text now shows the album, if \ 
possible.
          o Messages sent from a mobile device while you were offline are now \ 
correctly received.
          o Server transfers after you've been connected for a long time should \ 
now be handled correctly.
          o Many improvements to handling of "federated" buddies, such \ 
as those on the Yahoo network.
          o Several known crashes have been resolved.
          o Many other fixes and code cleanup.

    * MySpace
          o Respect your privacy settings set using the official MySpace client.
          o Add support for blocking buddies.
          o Fix a bug where buddies didn't appear in their correct groups the \ 
first time you sign into your account.
          o Properly disconnect and sign out of the service when logging off.
          o Support for foreground and background font colors in outgoing IMs.
          o Support for background font colors in incoming IMs.
          o Many other fixes and code cleanup.

    * Sametime
          o Fix insanely long idle times for Sametime 7.5 buddies by assuming 0 \

          o Don't allow connecting accounts if no server name has been \ 
specified. (Florian Quèze)

    * XMPP
          o Fix the namespace URL we look for in PEP reply stanzas to match the \ 
URL used in the 'get' requests (Paul Aurich)
          o Resources can be set to the local machine's hostname by using \ 
__HOSTNAME__ as the resource string. (Jonathan Sailor)
          o Resources can now be left blank, causing the server to generate a \ 
resource for us where supported. (Jonathan Sailor)
          o Resources now default to no value, but "Home" is used if \ 
the server refuses to provide a resource.
          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.
          o Support new <metadata/> element to indicate no XEP-0084 User \ 
Avatar. (Paul Aurich)
          o Fix SHA1 avatar checksum errors that occur when one of the bytes in \ 
a checksum begins with 0. (Paul Aurich)
          o Fix a problem with duplicate buddies. (Paul Aurich)

    * Yahoo
          o Corrected maximum message lengths for Yahoo!
          o Fix file transfers with older Yahoo protocol versions.

    * Zephyr
          o Enable auto-reply, to emulate 'zaway.' (Toby Schaffer)
          o Fix a crash when an account is configured to use tzc but tzc is not \ 
installed or the configured tzc command is invalid. (Michael Terry)
          o Fix a 10 second delay waiting on tzc if it is not installed or the \ 
configured command is invalid. (Michael Terry)

    * 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)
          o Fix a crash cleaning up custom smileys when Pidgin is closed.
          o Fix adding a custom smiley using the context menu in a conversation \ 
if no custom smilies have previously been added using the smiley manager.
          o Improved support for some message formatting in conversations.
          o Allow focusing the coversation history or userlist with F6.
          o Fixed the Send Button plugin to avoid duplicate buttons in a single \ 
conversation.
          o Double-clicking a saved status will now activate it and close the \ 
saved status manager, rather than edit the status.

    * Finch
          o Allow binding meta+arrow keys for actions.
          o Added default meta+erase binding for delete previous word.
          o Added "Show When Offline" to buddy menus, so a plugin is \ 
no longer needed.

Version 2.5.2 (10/19/2008)

    * libpurple
          o Fixed a crash on removing a custom buddy icon on a buddy.
          o Fixed a crash caused by certain self-signed SSL certificates.
          o Enable a number of strong ciphers which were previously disabled \ 
when using NSS. (Thanks to Marcus Trautwig.)

    * Pidgin
          o The status selector now saves your message when changing status.
          o Fix a case where a conversation window could close unexpectedly.
          o A mute sounds option has been added to the preferences window to \ 
help with discoverability. CTRL+S is no longer bound to mute.
          o Added ability to change the color of visited links (using the theme \ 
control plugin, or setting the color in ~/.gtkrc-2.0)
          o Fix a crash occuring when a custom smiley is deleted and re-added \ 
and used in an open conversation after being re-added.

    * Finch
          o A new 'Nested Grouping' option in the 'Grouping' plugin. Group \ 
hierarchies are defined by the '/' character in the group names.
          o A bug was fixed where some key-bindings wouldn't work with some \ 
TERMs (e.g. xterm-color, screen-linux etc.)

    * MSN
          o Operations (such as moving to a new group) on contacts that were \ 
added in the same session should now complete correctly, and not cause \ 
synchronization errors at next login.
          o Minor fixes to login process during a server transfer.
          o Restored the "Has You" feature to the MSN protocol tooltips.
          o ADL 205/214/etc errors should no longer prevent login.

    * XMPP
          o Sending and receiving custom smileys using the specification in \ 
XEP-0231 (bits of binary) and XHTML-IM

    * Yahoo
          o Only send a Ping once every hour. This prevents the account from \ 
being disconnected from the server periodically.
