libpurple 2.6.6 net-im =19

Backend library for the Pidgin multi-protocol messaging client
Maintained by: marcus@FreeBSD.org
Port Added: 03 May 2007 07:52:41

Pidgin is a multi-protocol instant messaging client. It is compatible with AIM
(Oscar and TOC protocols), ICQ, MSN Messenger, Yahoo, IRC, Jabber, Gadu-Gadu,
and Zephyr networks.

Pidgin users can log in to multiple accounts on multiple IM networks
simultaneously. This means that you can be chatting with friends on AOL
Instant Messenger, talking to a friend on Yahoo Messenger, and sitting in an
IRC channel all at the same time.

Pidgin supports many features of the various networks, such as file transfer
(coming soon), away messages, typing notification, and MSN window closing
notification. It also goes beyond that and provides many unique features. A
few popular features are Buddy Pounces, which give the ability to notify you,
send a message, play a sound, or run a program when a specific buddy goes away,
signs online, or returns from idle; and plugins, consisting of text
replacement, a buddy ticker, extended message notification, iconify on away,
and more.

(Adapted from the About Pidgin page.)

Libgaim is a backend library and protocol modules needed for Pidgin frontend
frontends such as the GTK+ and console UIs.

Presenting GNOME 2.20.1 and all related works for FreeBSD.  The official
GNOME 2.20 release notes can be found at
http://www.gnome.org/start/2.20/notes/en/ .  Beyond that, this update
includes the new GIMP 2.4 (courtesy of ahze).

The GNOME 2.20 update also includes a huge change in the FreeBSD GNOME
hierarchy.  We are now using the more standard DATADIR of ${PREFIX}/share
rather than ${PREFIX}/share/gnome. The result is that fewer patches and
hacks are needed to port GNOME components to FreeBSD.  This will mean some
user changes may be required, so be sure to read /usr/ports/UPDATING for
more details.

This release and the things we accomplished in it would not have been
possible without mezz's crazy idea to collapse DATADIR, and his persistence
to make it happen successfully.  Ahze and pav also deserve thanks for

Yahoo:
* Added an account action to open your inbox in the yahoo prpl.
* Added support for Unicode status messages in Yahoo.
* Server-stored aliases for Yahoo. (John Moody)
* Fixed support for Yahoo! doodling.
* Limited support for MSN Messenger contacts

Bonjour:
* Bonjour plugin uses native Avahi instead of Howl
* Bonjour plugin supports Buddy Icons

XMPP:
* Only report conversation close when 'send typing notifications' preference is
turned on (Bob Rossi)

Fix finch build on 5.X on 64-bit platforms.  Basically, rely on our
CFLAGS override to set _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED.

Reported by:    pointyhat via kris

Restore DESTDIR backout.

Update to 2.1.0.

libpurple:
* Core changes to allow UIs to use second-granularity for scheduling. Pidgin and
Finch, which use the glib event loop, were changed to use
g_timeout_add_seconds() on glib >= 2.14 when possible. This allows glib to
better group our longer timers to increase power fficiency. (Arjan van de Ven
with Intel Corporation)
* No longer linkifies screennames containing @ signs in join/part notifications
in chats
* With the HTML logger, images in conversations are now saved. NOTE: Saved
images are not yet displayed when loading logs.
* Added support for QIP logs to the Log Reader plugin (Michael Shkutkov)

Pidgin:
* Ensure only one copy of Pidgin is running with a given configuration
directory. The net effect of this is that trying to start Pidgin a second time
will raise the buddy list. (Gabriel Schulhof)
* Undo capability in the conversation window
* The formatting toolbar has been reorganized to be more concise.
* A new status area has been added to the top of conversations to provide
additional detail about the buddy, including buddy icon, protocol and status
message.
* Show idle times in the buddy list as days, hours, seconds

Finch:
* There's support for workspaces now (details in the manpage)
* There's a new custom window manager, Irssi
* Some improvements for tab-completion, tooltip and the password entries
* Some bugs regarding search results fixed
* A new DBus-script to create a docklet for finch
* Support for showing empty groups in the buddy list (Eric Polino)

- Remove the DESTDIR modifications from individual ports as we have a new,
  fully chrooted DESTDIR, which does not need such any more.

Add libpurple after a repocopy from net-im/libgaim.  Libpurple is the renamed
version of libgaim, i.e. the backed library and protocols that drive the
Pidgin (nee Gaim) instant messenger client.

This is a direct upgrade for users of libgaim from 2.0.0.b6 to 2.0.0.b7.
