  • Fixed #2971422: handle OCS 2005 idiosyncrasy of varying SIP URI case

  • Fixed publication/"409 Conflict" endless looping
  • Prepare for Pidgin 2.7.0
  • Added SVG icon artwork

For people who like me don't grok M$ lingo: Access Levels means that you can set the privacy level for each buddy, i.e. what of your information he will be able to see.

Hi stefanb, thanks for your great work. Got a very silly question to ask, is it possible to set up/or for future feature, you can get VOIP working?

Many thanks

Version 1.11.0 is the first release with Audio & Video support.

But don't get you hope up too early. The current version depends on updates & fixes from other packages as explained in the README for the media patches. I don't expect to ever see this working on Maemo5, because those updates will likely never be made available on that platform.

  • configure: update 32-bit vs. 64-bit header conflict test
  • debian: build stability fix in post-install

New upstream version 1.11.0:
  • Feature #2945346: Lotus Notes/Domino Calendar integration:
    • Sipe can now retrieve calendar data (Meeting schedule/subject/location) from a web-enabled Lotus Domino server and publish it to OCS2007/LCS2005 as availability information.
    • Example: "Calendar: Currently Busy. Free at 11:30".
    • Team members (contacts with access level Team) will be able to see information about our current meeting (subject & location) (OCS2007)
    • First calendar update is scheduled 1 minute after connect,
    • Subsequent calendar updates happen in 30 minute intervals.
    • Manual calendar update can be triggered using the following menu: Accounts->{SIPE_ACCOUNT}->"Republish Calendar"
    • Though Domino integration can work without any additional settings in account configuration (on Windows), there are options to manually provide Domino Services URL and email address/password if it's different from SIP URI/Password settings on Basic tab.

  • Fixed #2982424: krb5 build errors on FreeBSD

  • Fixed #3029228: Calendar published at/with incorrect time
  • Fixed #3029929: Crash with outlook 2k3 Calendar
  • Fix logout from OCS
  • Implement workaround for buddy list menu memory leaks
  • Dropped UDP transport support
  • Rewrote TCP & TLS transport support
  • HTTP improvements: GET, cookies
  • Alternative crypt/digest implementation based on NSS
  • Rewrote message debug log and implemented an analyzer script for it
  • More internal changes to prepare for non-purple backends
  • New translations: 'nl', 'sv', 'ar', 'hu', 'ja', 'ko', 'sv', 'zh_TW'
  • Added dependency with the libxml2-dev package in debian/control
  • Added dependency with libnss3-dev package in debian/control
  • Updated with Standards-Version 3.9.1

NOTE: if you have been plagued by frequent, random disconnects due to authentication/signature errors, then this update is for you as it fixes the long standing bug #2834758.

Unfortunately it seems no longer possible to compile pidgin plugins on Diablo, so this release is only available for Fremantle.
