Pidgin and Finch: The Pimpin' Penguin IM Clients That're Good for the Soul

version 2.1.0 (??/??/????):
	libpurple:
		Added:
		* purple-remote: added getstatus command
		* conversation-extended-menu signal (See Doxygen docs)
		* OPT_PROTO_SLASH_COMMANDS_NATIVE protocol option to indicate that
		  slash commands are "native" to the protocol
		* PURPLE_MESSAGE_NO_LINKIFY message flag to indicate that the message
		  should not be auto-linkified
		* PurpleEventLoopUiOps.timeout_add_seconds
		    UIs can now use better scheduling for whole-second timers.  For
		    example, clients based on the glib event loop can now use
		    g_timeout_add_seconds.
		* purple_blist_node_get_type
		* purple_conversation_do_command
		* purple_conversation_get_extended_menu
		* purple_core_ensure_single_instance
		    This is for UIs to use to ensure only one copy is running.
		* purple_dbus_is_owner
		* purple_image_data_calculate_filename
		* purple_timeout_add_seconds
		    Callers should prefer this to purple_timeout_add for timers
		    longer than 1 second away.  Be aware of the rounding, though.
		* purple_timeout_add_seconds
		    Callers should prefer this to purple_timeout_add for timers
		    longer than 1 second away.  Be aware of the rounding, though.
		* purple_xfer_get_remote_user
		* purple_pounces_get_all_for_ui

		Changed:
		* The documentation of the following functions now properly
		  declares that the returned value must not be modified or
		  freed, which was always the case:
			* purple_accounts_get_all
			* purple_connections_get_all
			* purple_connections_get_connecting
			* purple_conv_chat_get_ignored
			* purple_conv_chat_get_users
			* purple_get_chats
			* purple_get_conversations
			* purple_get_ims
			* purple_notify_user_info_get_entries
		* The following functions now return a GList* instead of a
		  const GList*, as const is not very useful with GLists.  The
		  returned value still must not be modified or freed:
			* purple_account_get_status_types
			* purple_mime_document_get_fields
			* purple_mime_document_get_parts
			* purple_mime_part_get_fields
			* purple_request_fields_get_required
			* purple_request_field_list_get_selected
			* purple_request_field_list_get_items
			* purple_status_type_get_attrs
			* purple_presence_get_statuses
		* purple_request_field_list_set_selected now takes a GList*
		  instead of a const GList* for items, as const is not very
		  useful with GLists.  The passed list is still not modified
		  or freed.
		* purple_presence_add_list now takes a GList* instead of a
		  const GList* for source_list, as const is not very useful with
		  GLists.  The passed list is still not modified or freed.

	Pidgin:
		Added:
		* gtk_imhtml_setup_entry
		* pidgin_create_window
		* pidgin_retrieve_user_info and pidgin_retrieve_user_info_in_chat,
		  shows immediate feedback when getting information about a user.
		* gtk_imhtml_animation_new
		    Can be used for inserting an animated image into an IMHTML.
		* pidgin_menu_position_func_helper
		* pidgin_blist_get_name_markup, returns the buddy list markup
		  text for a given buddy.

		Changed:
		* pidgin_append_menu_action returns the menuitem added to the menu.
		* pidgin_separator returns the separator added to the menu.
		* PidginConversation has struct members to handle the new info
		  pane:
		  	* infopane
			* infopane_hbox
			* infopane_model
			* infopane_iter

	Finch:
		Added:
		* finch_retrieve_user_info

		Changed:
		* gnt_tree_get_rows() now returns a GList* instead of a const
		  GList*, as const is not very useful with GLists.  The
		  returned value still must not be modified or freed.

version 2.0.2 (6/14/2007):
	Pidgin:
		Deprecated:
		* pidgin_dialogs_alias_contact:  This will be removed in 3.0.0
		  unless there is sufficient demand to keep it.

version 2.0.0 (5/3/2007):
	Please note all functions, defines, and data structures have been
	re-namespaced to match the new names of Pidgin, Finch, and libpurple.
	All gaim_gtk_* functions are now pidgin_*, former libgaim functions are
	now purple_*.  Please consult our doxygen documentation for a complete
	reference.

	The gaim-compat.h header exists to provide an API compatibility layer
	for libpurple functions.  As an API compatibility layer, it must be
	included at compile time to be of use.

	Changed:

	  const char* instead of just a char*
	* gaim_gtk_prefs_labeled_entry, the "key" parameter is now a const char*
	  instead of just a char*
	* the add_buddy perl sub.  The sub now takes the account as the first
	  argument, and buddy and group as the second and third.  It also adds
	  the buddy to the server-side buddy list of the given account.
	* gaim_connection_new, gaim_account_connect and gaim_account_register no
	  longer return a GaimConnection
	* keep_alive in GaimConnection is renamed to keepalive

	  file is binary
	* gaim_log_logger_new, rewritten
	* gaim_conv_window_remove_conversation()'s last argument to be a
	  GaimConversation.

	* gtk_imhtml_scroll_to_end(): Added the smooth paramter
	* gaim_log_new(), added conv parameter

	  new_arrivals and removed buddies.
	* chat_rename_user in GaimConversationUiOps, added new_alias
	* gaim_conv_chat_cb_new(), added alias. (pass NULL to get the same

	  gaim_xfer_set_write_fnc(), gaim_xfer_read(), gaim_xfer_write():
	  Changed ssize_t to gssize
	* serv_got_im, serv_got_chat_in, serv_send_im and serv_chat_send all use
	  GaimMessageFlags instead of GaimConvImFlags / GaimConvChatFlags
	* All core<->prpl message passing now uses html.  This was previously true
	  for receiving messages, it's now also true for sending them.  prpls that
	  don't support html need to gaim_unescape_html() the message.
	* Notify API: GCallback -> GaimNotifyCloseCallback,
	              void *user_data -> gpointer user_data
	* gaim_notify_searchresults_get_rows_count,
	  gaim_notify_searchresults_get_columns_count: return type now guint
	* gaim_account_notify_added: No longer checks if there is a
	  GaimBuddy for the added user, that's left up to the prpls.  See the
	  documentation for this function and gaim_account_request_add.
	* gaim_accounts_reorder: new_index is now a gint instead of a size_t
	* displaying-message signals: displaying-[im|chat]-msg and
	  displayed-[im|chat]-msg signals are emitted for all messages

	  messages etc.), and the signals now have
	  gaim_gtk_conversations_get_handle() for their handle.
	* GAIM_NOTIFY_BUTTON_ADD_BUDDY to GAIM_NOTIFY_BUTTON_ADD
	* conversation-switched: This signal has been moved from conversation to
	                         the UI and the signal-handlers only receive the
	                         conversation that has been switched to.

	  This means that plugins must be updated to expect such a socket from
	  gaim_proxy_connect() and gaim_network_listen*().
	* gaim_proxy_connect(): changed to return NULL on error and a pointer
	  to a GaimProxyConnectInfo object which can be used to cancel

	  is NULL.
	* gaim_gtk_set_custom_buddy_icon() sets custom icon for a user.
	* Hid the definition of _GaimStringref, which already had a warning to
	  avoid accessing it directly.
	* notify_userinfo() UI op is passed a GaimNotifyUserInfo instead of a char*
	  for the user information
	* gaim_buddy_icon_get_scale_size() and was changed to ALWAYS scale
	  the icon instead of only when icon_spec->scale_rules contains

	  purple_request_action_varg(), purple_request_fields(),
	  purple_request_yes_no(), purple_request_ok_cancel(),
	  purple_request_accept_cancel(), purple_request_file(), and
	  purple_request_folder() was changed to accept account, who, and
	  conversation parameters for associating the request with an account, a
	  buddy, or a conversation.
	* Significant changes to the buddy icon and imgstore APIs.  If you
	  were using any of it, it's best to look at the header files or
	  Doxygen documentation, but here are some significant changes:
	    purple_buddy_icon_new() now takes ownership of ("frees") icon_data
	    purple_buddy_icon_set_data(): likewise for data
	    purple_buddy_icon_set_for_user(): likewise for data
	    purple_buddy_icon_set_for_user() now takes a checksum parameter
