version 2.12.0 (03/09/2017):
libpurple:
* Fix an out of bounds memory read in purple_markup_unescape_entity.
CVE-2017-2640
* Fix use of uninitialised memory if running non-debug-enabled versions of glib
* Updated AIM dev and dist ID's to new ones that were assigned by AOL.
* TLS certificate verification now uses SHA-256 checksums.
* Fixed SASL external auth for Freenode.
* Removed the MSN protocol plugin. It has been unusable and dormant for some
time. MSNP18 has been discontinued and the protocol plugin would require a
large update to start working again. See: http://ismsndeadyet.com/ The
third-party Pidgin SkypeWeb plugin, however, should provide enough
functionality as a replacement if people still want to use MSN:
https://github.com/EionRobb/skype4pidgin/tree/master/skypeweb
* Removed Mxit protocol plugin. The service was closed at the end of
September 2016. See
https://pidgin.im/pipermail/devel/2016-September/024078.htm
* Removed the MySpaceIM protocol plugin. The service has been defunct for a
long time. (#15356)
* Remove the Yahoo! protocol plugin. Yahoo has completely
reimplemented their protocol, so this version is no longer operable as
of August 5th, 2016:
https://yahoo.tumblr.com/post/145715934739/q2-2016-progress-report-on-our-product
A new protocol plugin has been written to support the new protocol.
It can be found here: https://github.com/EionRobb/funyahoo-plusplus
This also removes support for Yahoo! Japan. According to
http://messenger.yahoo.co.jp/ the service ended March 26th, 2014.
* Remove the Facebook (XMPP) account option. According to
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/chat the XMPP Chat API service
ended April 30th, 2015. A new protocol plugin has been written,
using a different method, to support Facebook. It can be found at
https://github.com/dequis/purple-facebook/wiki
* Fixed gnutls certificate validation errors that mainly affected google (Dequis)
General
* Replaced instances of d.pidgin.im with developer.pidgin.im and updated the
urls to use https. (#17036)
IRC
* Fixed issue of messages being silently cut off at 500 characters. Large
messages are now split into parts and sent one by one. (#4753)

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.

version 2.5.5 (03/01/2009):
libpurple:

* Beta support for SSL connections for AIM and ICQ accounts. To
enable, check the "Use SSL" option from the Advanced tab when
editing your AIM or ICQ account. (Paul Aurich)
* Fix a memory leak in SILC. (Luke Petre)
* Fix some string handling in the SIMPLE prpl, which fixes some buddy name
handling and other issues. (Paul Aurich, Marcus Sundberg)

ICQ:
* Fix retrieval of status messages from users of ICQ 6.x, Miranda, and
other libpurple clients. (Daniel Ljungborg)

ICQ 6.x users can now see these status messages. (Daniel Ljungborg)
* Fix receipt of messages from the mobile client Slick. (David Jedelsky)
MSN:

latest Windows Live Messenger 9 official client. (Thomas
Gibson-Robinson)
* Large (multi-part) messages are now correctly re-combined.
* Federated/Yahoo! buddies should now stop creating sync issues at
every signin. You may need to remove duplicates in the Address
Book. See the FAQ for more information. Thanks to Jason Lingohr
for lots of debugging and testing.
* Messages from Yahoo! buddies are no longer silently dropped.
* We now save and use the CacheKey for ABCH SOAP requests.
* Don't try to parse Personal Status Messages or Current Media if they
don't exist.
* Convert from ISO-8859-1 encoding to UTF-8 when no charset is specified
on incoming messages. This should fix some issues with messages from
older clients.

a font already.
* Queue callbacks when token updates are in progress to prevent two token
update attempts from trampling each other.

prevents seeing an outdated alias or not seeing an alias at all for
buddies who are offline when you sign in.

message contained only formatting and that formatting was not supported
on MSN.

longer receive an ADL 241 error. The problematic buddy should now
appear on the buddy list and can be removed or unblocked as desired.

* Resources using __HOSTNAME__ substitution will now grab only the short
hostname instead of the FQDN on systems which put the FQDN in the
hostname. (Matěj Cepl)
* No longer send a 'to' attribute on an outgoing stanza when we haven't
received one. This fixes a registration bug as described in ticket
#6635.

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

http://developer.pidgin.im/query?status=closed&milestone=2.3.0
Some highlights from ChangeLog:
Pidgin:
* Connection errors are now reported in mini-dialogs inside the buddy
list, rather than as buttons in the buddy list and with dialog
boxes. If several accounts are disabled when you sign on elsewhere,
you can now re-enable them all with a single click.
* If you alias a buddy to an alias that is already present within
a particular group, we now offer to merge the buddies into the
same contact.
* A music emblem is now displayed in the buddy list for a buddy if we
know she is listening to some soothing music.
* Added a 'Move to' menu in buddy list context menu for moving buddies
to other groups as an alternative to dragging.
* It is now possible to mark a chat on your buddy list as "Persistent"
so you do not leave the chat when the window or tab is closed.
* The auto-join option for chats is now listed in the "Add Chat"
dialog along with the new persistence option.
* Closing an IM no longer immediately closes your conversation. It
will now remain active for a short time so that if the conversation
resumes, the history will be retained. A preference has been added
to toggle this behavior.
* The "Smiley" menu has been moved to the top-level of the toolbar.
* Pidgin's display is now saved with the command line for session
restoration. (David Mohr)
* ICQ Birthday notifications are shown as buddy list emblems.
* Plugin actions are now available from the docklet context menu
in addition to the Tool menu of the buddy list.
* The manual page has been heavily rewritten to bring it in line
with current functionality.
Finch:
* It's possible to bind key-strokes to specific menuitems in the windows.
Read the 'Menus' section in the man-page for details.
* 'transpose-chars' operation for the entry boxes. The default key-binding
is ctrl+t.
* 'yank' operation for the entry boxes. The default binding is ctrl+y.

The intltool that comes bundled with libpurple doesn't like NetBSD's
/usr/bin/iconv, so switch libpurple to use intltool from pkgsrc.

moment that because sys/sysctl.h is a BSD44 feature that all such
systems will have sys/param.h, pending an upstream fix.

Updates of pidgin and finch will follow shortly.
pkgsrc changes are some cleanup and removal of the 900kB patch-ac.
I'm not sure if this will break anything, but nobody knew the reason
of it's existence. Any fallout should be dealt with appropriately instead.
Maintainer reset to pkgsrc-users@ at previous maintainer's wish.
version 2.1.0 (07/28/2007):
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 efficiency.
(Arjan van de Ven with Intel Corporation)
* No longer linkifies screennames containing @ signs in join/part
notifications in chats
