libpurple:

* Added support for offline messages for AIM accounts (thanks to Matthew Goldstein)

* Fixed various problems with loss of status messages when going or returning from idle on MySpaceIM.

* Eliminated unmaintained Howl backend implementation for the Bonjour protocol. Avahi (or Apple’s Bonjour runtime on win32) is now required to use Bonjour.

* Partial support for viewing ICQ status notes (Collin from ComBOTS GmbH).

* Support for /notice on IRC.

* Support for Yahoo! Messenger 7.0+ file transfer method (Thanumalayan S.)

* Support for retrieving full names and addresses from the address book on Yahoo! Japan (Yusuke Odate)

* The AIM/ICQ server-side preference for “allow others to see me as idle” is no longer unconditionally set to “yes” even when your libpurple preference is “no.”

* Fix SSL certificate checks for renewed certificates

* Fix the ability to set vCard buddy icons on Google Talk/XMPP

* D-Bus fixes on 64bit

* Fixed retrieval of buddy icons and setting of server-side aliases on Yahoo! and Yahoo! Japan when using an HTTP proxy server (Gideon N. Guillen)

* Fixed having multiple alias edit areas in the infopane (Elliott Sales de Andrade)

* Save the conversation “Enable Logging” option per-contact (Moos Heintzen)

* The default keybinding for dump-screen is now M-D and uses a file request dialog. M-d will properly delete-forward-word, and M-f has been fixed to imitate readline’s behavior.

* New bindings alt+tab and alt+shift+tab to help navigating between the higlighted windows (details on the man page).

* Recently signed on (or off) buddies blink in the buddy list.

* New action ‘Room List’ in the action list can be used to get the list of available chat rooms for an online account.

* The ‘Grouping’ plugin can be used for alternate grouping in the buddylist. The current options are ‘Group Online/Offline’ and ‘No Group’.

* Added a log viewer

* Added the ability to block/unblock buddies – see the buddy context menu and the menu for the buddy list.
