Purple Plugin Pack 2.6.3 released!

2010-04-16T21:18:00.002-05:00

Well, it took me forever, but I released version 2.6.3 of the Purple Plugin Pack. This release is a minor update that adds IRCHelper support for Spidernet and the new Freenode services bot "frigg." IRC-More also got a few tweaks, such as actually building when using "irc-more" as the plugin name (in the --with-plugins configure argument), no longer trying to set umodes on connect if you haven't specified any, and a new field to enter autojoin channels in a comma-separated list to assist with Freenode's recent rate limiting changes.

I actually built the tarballs on 2010-03-10, but didn't release them until a few days ago, and I just now finally got to announcing it. Sorry about that; I admit I've been particularly lazy lately. Enjoy the release!

Purple Plugin Pack 2.6.2 released!

2010-01-01T23:10:00.002-06:00

Hey, everyone. I released version 2.6.2 of the Purple Plugin Pack a few minutes ago. There are a bunch of bug fixes in it:

Talkfilters now builds correctly (thanks to one of the Gentoo folks who submitted a patch to fix it!)
The irc-more plugin correctly autorejoins chats, and no longer has an unreasonably long (or configurable) rejoin delay. Instead, the delay is hard-coded to 100 ms.
The splitter plugin no longer butchers OTR-encrypted messages.
More--check out the changelog at the link below!

Enjoy!

Purple Plugin Pack 2.1.1 Released!

2007-08-19T00:27:00.000-05:00

Well, since I screwed up the 2.1.0 release, I had to release 2.1.1 to fix the convbadger build. We now have proper infrastructure distributed to cause the plugin to build on Windows and other platforms we work on.

Purple Plugin Pack 2.0.0 Released!

2007-07-14T00:00:00.000-05:00

We have released the Purple Plugin Pack version 2.0.0! It includes a slew of bug fixes, including fixes for some particularly irritating crashes in the Album plugin. We also included some new plugins and added some new features to some existing plugins.

With the release of Purple Plugin Pack 2.0.0, we have changed our version numbering scheme. The new scheme works like this:

The format is major.minor.micro.
The major number follows libpurple's major number. This is intended to indicate the specific version of libpurple we support with that release.
The minor version reflects the state of the plugins list within the Plugin Pack. If we add or remove plugins, we will increment this number. Under certain circumstances determined by a quorum of our developers, massive rewrites that fundamentally change a given plugin such that the result could effectively be called removing one plugin and adding another will also cause a minor version increment. The minor version will increment by exactly one for each release in which these happen, even if multiple plugins are added/changed/rewritten.
The micro version increments for any other changes. This includes bugfix only releases or releases in which our build system changes.
