What's new in this version:

* General:
- Force video sources to all have the same capabilities. This reduces the number of times video must be scaled down, saving CPU time. 
- Starting multiple video calls and ending one no longer causes the other calls to stop sending audio and video. 
- Perl bindings now respect LDFLAGS. 
- Added AddTrust External Root CA. 
- Resolve some issues validating X.509 certificates signed off the CAcert Class 3 intermediate cert when using the GnuTLS SSL/TLS plugin. 

* Gadu-Gadu:
- Don\'t drop whole messages when text is colored. 

* Groupwise:
- Don\'t show two windows when using \"Get Info\" on a buddy. 

* IRC:
- Don\'t send ISON messages longer than 512 bytes. 

* libpurple:
- Stop sending audio when placing a call on hold. 
- Stop translating gpointers to ints in the dbus API. This removes functions from the dbus API. 
- Fix D-Bus introspection calls that omit the interface parameter. 
- Fixed bugs in purple_str_to_time() that caused the most recent \'make check\' failures. 
- Correct an issue that caused some UIs other than Pidgin or Finch to leave a buddy in the \"is typing\" state. 
- Fix potential information disclosure issues in the Cipher code. 

* Pidgin:
- Support using the Page Up and Page Down keys on the numeric keypad in the conversation window. 
- Fix a few memory leaks. 
- Support rendering strikethrough when received as in-line CSS. 
- Editable comboboxes are now more friendly to some GTK+ themes. 

* Plugins:
- The Voice/Video Settings plugin no longer resets selected devices to defaults. 
- The Voice/Video Settings plugin no longer crashes when a stored device name is not found in the list of available devices. 
- The Autoaccept plugin now allows disabling filename escaping. 
- The Autoaccept plugin now allows choosing Reject/Ask/Accept for non-buddies. 

* QQ:
- QQ2008 is now the default protocol version. 

* XMPP:
- Don\'t crash when receiving an unexpected/invalid jingle transport type. 
- Handle Connection: Close headers for BOSH, when the server does not terminate the connection itself. 
- Improved parsing for DIGEST-MD5, which should resolve issues connecting to some jabberd2 servers. This corrects an issue parsing one-character or empty elements. 

* Yahoo!/Yahoo! JAPAN:
- Fix a crash when an account disconnects before a p2p session is completely set up.
