Howdy folks. We’ve posted a release candidate for 1.3.5rc1. I don’t want to deal with having two betas simultaneously, so we’re keeping it short and simple here on the blog. The only changes are in libpurple and the Facebook chat plugin. Please respond here with any issues specifically related to 1.3.5 over 1.3.4.

1.3.5rc1.dmg (MD5 ba46df4857871bfa5eed3170f0961b05)

Libpurple changes in 2.5.7:

• Yahoo Protocol 16 support, including new HTTPS login method; this should fix a number of login problems that have recently cropped up. (Sulabh Mahajan, Mike “Maiku” Ruprecht)
• Only display the AIM “Unable to Retrieve Buddy List” message once per connection. (Rob Taft)
• Blocking MSN users not on your buddy list no longer disconnects you.
• When performing operations on MSN, assume users are on the MSN/Passport network if we don’t get network ID’s for them. [this fixes adding/removing and getting disconnected]

pidgin-facebookchat changes in 1.51:

• Fix idle status of buddies
• Less disconnects for people with large friends lists
• gzip compression for smaller page downloads
• Fixes for notifications for non-English users
• Display messages sent from website in Pidgin
• Inbox count display
• Usernames and/or passwords with utf-8 characters should work now
• Display *bold* and _underline_ formatting in incoming messages
• Memleak fixes
• Proxy server fixes
• Fixed some crashes on disconnect
• Fixes some buddy's appearing offline when they weren't
• New channel finding code, should mean less conflicts with Facebook website
