General:
* Fix handling of Self-Signed SSL/TLS Certificates when using the NSS
plugin (#16412)

* Add NSS Preferences plugin which allows the SSL/TLS Versions and
cipher suites to be configured (#8061)

General:
* Check the basic constraints extension when validating SSL/TLS
certificates. This fixes a security hole that allowed a malicious
man-in-the-middle to impersonate an IM server or any other https
endpoint. This affected both the NSS and GnuTLS plugins. (Discovered
by an anonymous person and Jacob Appelbaum of the Tor Project, with
thanks to Moxie Marlinspike for first publishing about this type of
vulnerability. Thanks to Kai Engert for guidance and for some of the
NSS changes) (CVE-2014-3694)
* Allow and prefer TLS 1.2 and 1.1 when using the NSS plugin for SSL.
(Elrond and Ashish Gupta) (#15909)

(CVE-2014-3695)
XMPP:
* Fix potential information leak where a malicious XMPP server and
possibly even a malicious remote user could create a carefully crafted
XMPP message that causes libpurple to send an XMPP message containing
arbitrary memory. (Discovered and fixed by Thijs Alkemade and Paul
Aurich) (CVE-2014-3698)
* Fix Facebook XMPP roster quirks. (#15041, #15957)
Yahoo:
* Fix login when using the GnuTLS library for TLS connections. (#16172)

Do it for all packages that
* mention perl, or
* have a directory name starting with p5-*, or
* depend on a package starting with p5-
like last time, for 5.18, where this didn't lead to complaints.
Let me know if you have any this time.

until proven otherwise.

finch does not compile with python-3.3. Since libpurple is not versioned
and finch pulls it in, we have to mark libpurple too, and then pidgin
because of libpurple. It's all one codebase anyway...

CVE-2011-3184.
While here, better fix for PR#45190.
chat/finch itself does not depend on devel/nspr.

John: Just a quick release for a security fix here. Elliott has not
yet had a chance to work on the MSN breakage that's been present in
the last couple releases, but we hope he can do it before 2.7.10!
Changes 2.7.8:
Elliott: OK, so I know a few things broke with the last release, and
it's too bad we had to rush it for that silly certificate thing that
the MSN people can't configure properly. I've certainly done a lot of
small fixes this time, but it's too bad we haven't been able to get the
transfers with the official client fixed yet. I promise it'll be in
the next release (barring any quick security issues).
John: So, it's been about a month since we last released. Again, we've
assembled a bugfix release for your enjoyment. While a few commonly
reported bugs remain, particularly in MSN, we're working on it for the
next release. In the meantime, Merry Christmas and enjoy!
Changes 2.7.7:
John: Well, this time around, we should finally have the certificate
issue really and fully fixed for all of you MSN users. Also, we have
a few AIM-related fixes in this release, most notably the fix for the
new "SSL Handshake Failure" message some of you got after upgrading.
That one was an oversight on our part. Enjoy the fixes!

version, and bump all depends.
Per discussion on pkgsrc-changes.
|
|
* Lots of little incremental bug fixes and enhancements in this release.
* Finally got some fixes out there for you Yahoo users behind some
particularly annoying firewalls and proxies, among other fixes. Enjoy!
Changes 2.7.2:
* We discovered a security issue in Pidgin 2.7.0 and 2.7.1 and decided to
release a patched version quickly. This release contains the fix for that
crash, and a few other minor fixes.
|
|
Also add some patches to remove use of deprecated symbols and fix other
problems when looking for or compiling against libpng-1.4.x.
|
|
|
|
libtool 2.2 will bail out during relink.
|
|
Additional changes:
Fix farsight handling in libpurple.
Set LICENSE.
2.6.2 (09/05/2009):
Mark: Woo boy it's been a busy two weeks. There was a lot of new code
in 2.6.0, and with new code comes new bugs. The cadre of relentless
developers responsible for Pidgin have been hard at work, and I believe
they have fixed all the major bugs that cropped up. My thanks to all
those names listed as Current Developers in Pidgin's 'About' window.
Elliott: Well now, just as Mark said, there was a lot of new stuff that
probably came up with tons of bugs. So I can't say I wrote anything
super-awesome, but I definitely fixed quite a few of those itty-bitty
why-didn't-this-work-this-way sort of bugs.

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 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 Resources can be set to the local machine's hostname by using __HOSTNAME__ as the resource string. (Jonathan Sailor)

* 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 occuring when a custom smiley is deleted and re-added and used in an open conversation after being re-added.
* Finch
o A new 'Nested Grouping' option in the 'Grouping' plugin. Group hierarchies are defined by the '/' character in the group names.
o A bug was fixed where some key-bindings wouldn't work with some TERMs (e.g. xterm-color, screen-linux etc.)
* MSN
o Operations (such as moving to a new group) on contacts that were added in the same session should now complete correctly, and not cause synchronization errors at next login.
