Add the StartCom Free SSL Certificate Authority certificate (as used by
jabber.org), and change the order of certificate validation checks so that
CA mismatch is detected before name checking. There's still lots of room
for improvement in certificate validation because the first Accept or
Reject overrides any subsequent checks.

For information on writing a plugin for Purple, Pidgin or Finch, go

You can also generate this documentation locally by installing
