Hi, It took longer than expected, but msn-pecan 0.1.0-rc2 is ready :) There are bugfixes all over the place, so everybody should upgrade as soon as possible.
The important ones are: chats work again, several oim improvements, and directconn now truly enabled. WARNING: it turns out directconn wasn't really used, even if you enabled it in the preferences, so if you experience crashes while transfering files that's expected (since it doesn't work yet), so just disable it. An important feature is support for the N900[1] thanks to telepathy-haze. There's a standalone package which is easy to install. http://maemo.nokia.com/n900/ Only a few bugs remain to release 0.1.0, but the most important one: fully functional direct connections, still needs some work =/ This is the list of issues fixed: 162 Invisible status is visible 179 Received Offline Messages have wrong receiving timezone 190 Can't send messages to offline contacts 194 libmsn-pecan can't be loaded in windows with pidgin 2.5.8 70 WLM plugin does not auto connect when returning from suspend, it showes up disabled 219 Crash pidgin in process_body_receive at pn_oim.c:468 138 Translation is not whole integrated from Launchpad 193 Error when set long(<=130) utf-8 display name 202 Crash in pn_peer_call_free 186 pidgin crashes on establishing http connection using msn-pecan over proxy using ntlmapps 198 No Handwriting Coming in 206 Cannot login anymore when changed my password 211 Segfault in pn_oim.c process_body_receive() on badly formatted message 215 Is "Continuous friendly name reset on MSN" fixed in msn-pecan? 216 msn-pecan crashes on msn_transaction_destroy 143 Pidgin crashes upon MSN Chat invite 201 Crash on switchboard handling 178 Write a to-do list in the wiki Here's the diffstat: 40 files changed, 1225 insertions(+), 876 deletions(-) Here is the current list of pending issues for 0.1.0 final: http://code.google.com/p/msn-pecan/issues/list?q=label%3Amilestone-0.1.0 Download from the usual place: http://code.google.com/p/msn-pecan/downloads Finally, here's the shortlog: Alexandre André (1): Add new Esperanto translation Devid Antonio Filoni (15): oim: implement msnp15 SSO authentication Adium: add a musical note in status text Adium: remove useless ifdefs Adium: don't build winks receiving support Adium: do not show "I'm listening" field in get_info Fix build with libpurple < 2.5.0 Fix a crash when a multichat window is opened pn_oim.c: parse received OIM date sb: fix handwritten messages receiving in Pidgin util: parse_date() fix an issue releated to dst oim: authenticate SSO if it expires oim: decrease count whem messages fail dp: trivial reorganization dp: prioritize contacts without pictures Store the friendly name in purple account Elliott Sales de Andrade (5): Properly quote the imgstore ID for ink messages pidgin: strip personal message util: fix crash with all font effects pidgin: send proper emoticon messages in chats pidgin: fix local simleys in chats Felipe Contreras (58): oim: remove lingering pn_test's sb: trivial cleanups Fix clang warnings from previous commit peer-link: cancel call if we ran out of memory directconn: another build fix directconn: fix a build warning session: fix login with big passwords pidgin: make offline and invisible status saveable contact: add new _is_in_group() session: synchronize contacts sb: fix chat refcount Fix chat handling sb: remove unnecessary ANS handling pidgin: reorganize chat stuff a bit sb: remove timer on chats Don't url_encode friendly name test: add check for pn_friendly_name_encode() nexus: code-style cleanups nexus: remove unused cookie stuff nexus: trivial cleanups nexus: reorganize a bit nexus: reorganize error handling a bit nexus: add error handling ns: trivial cleanup sslconn: add connection error handling nexus: rewrite to use ssl_conn nexus: add connection error handling Remove pn_socket Use gio instead of gobject Makefile: add USE_GIO node: add optional gio support http: add optional gio support Create new pn_parse_date() test: add check for parse_date util: cleanup pn_parse_date() util: reorganize pn_parse_date() Update get-version stuff Makefile: improve win32 build win32: improve README Remove fix_purple_win32 Replace G_GSIZE_FORMAT with %zu fix_purple: remove unused stuff Bump glib requirement to 2.16 Remove unnecessary usage of fix_purple.h Remove silly libpurple workarounds Reorganize public alias stiff a bit Update translations Enable directconn by default ns: fix invitation to second switchboard sb: check for switchboards being chats Makefile: fix static build Makefile: nicer pretty print Makefile: improve clean target Makefile: prettify msgfmt Makefile: prettify windres Makefile: trivial cleanup Makefile: fix version in tarball oim: fix trivial warning John Bailey (1): Fix security vulnerability Octavio Alvarez (2): directconn: build fixes directconn: generic bug fixes Simone Contini (1): oim: handle malformed data in process_body_receive Víctor Manuel Jáquez Leal (2): Silence the compiler in 64 bit architectures. directconn: silence the compiler -- Felipe Contreras
