Zitat:version 2.4.0 (02/29/2008):
        libpurple:
        * Added support for offline messages for AIM accounts (thanks to
          Matthew Goldstein)
        * Fixed various problems with loss of status messages when going
          or returning from idle on MySpaceIM.
        * Eliminated unmaintained Howl backend implementation for the
          Bonjour protocol.  Avahi (or Apple's Bonjour runtime on win32) is
          now required to use Bonjour.
        * Partial support for viewing ICQ status notes (Collin from
          ComBOTS GmbH).
        * Support for /notice on IRC.
        * Support for Yahoo! Messenger 7.0+ file transfer method (Thanumalayan S.)
        * Support for retrieving full names and addresses from the address book
          on Yahoo! Japan (Yusuke Odate)
        * The AIM/ICQ server-side preference for "allow others to see me
          as idle" is no longer unconditionally set to "yes" even when
          your libpurple preference is "no."
        * Fix SSL certificate checks for renewed certificates
        * Fix the ability to set vCard buddy icons on Google Talk/XMPP
        * D-Bus fixes on 64bit
        * Fixed retrieval of buddy icons and setting of server-side aliases on
          Yahoo! and Yahoo! Japan when using an HTTP proxy server (Gideon N.
          Guillen)
        * Fixed an MSN bug that would leave you appearing offline when transferred
          to different server

        Pidgin:
        * Added the ability to theme conversation name colors (red and blue)
          through your GTK+ theme, and exposed those theme settings to the
          Pidgin GTK+ Theme Control plugin (Dustin Howett)
        * Fixed having multiple alias edit areas in the infopane (Elliott Sales
          de Andrade)
        * Save the conversation "Enable Logging" option per-contact (Moos
          Heintzen)
        * Typing notifications are now shown in the conversation area

        Finch:
        * Color is used in the buddylist to indicate status, and the conversation
          window to indicate various message attributes. Look at the sample gntrc
          file in the man page for details.
        * The default keybinding for dump-screen is now M-D and uses a file
          request dialog. M-d will properly delete-forward-word, and M-f has been
          fixed to imitate readline's behavior.
        * New bindings alt+tab and alt+shift+tab to help navigating between the
          higlighted windows (details on the man page).
        * Recently signed on (or off) buddies blink in the buddy list.
        * New action 'Room List' in the action list can be used to get the list of
          available chat rooms for an online account.
        * The 'Grouping' plugin can be used for alternate grouping in the
          buddylist. The current options are 'Group Online/Offline' and 'No
          Group'.
        * Added a log viewer
        * Added the ability to block/unblock buddies - see the buddy context menu
          and the menu for the buddy list.
        * Fixed a bug preventing finch working on x86_64
