Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: pidgin
Currently in version 2.5.2.
Changelog:
* 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)

(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 Gadu-Gadu now does proper charset translations where needed. (Adam
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
idle time if the idle timestamp is in the future. (Laurent Montaron)
o Fix a crash that can occur on login. (Raiko Nitzsche)
* SIMPLE
o Fix a crash when a malformed message is received.
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.
