Announcing telepathy-gabble 0.8.9, the “tender limbs of America's
favorite homemaker” release. telepathy-gabble is the Jabber (XMPP)
connection manager for the Telepathy real-time communication framework.
0.8.x releases are a stable branch.
This release fixes an issue where Gabble would unnecessarily probe a
number of proxy servers on every sign-in, wasting bandwidth and angering
server admins.

signature: http://telepathy.freedesktop.org/releases/telepathy-gabble/telepathy-gabble-0.8.9.tar.gz.asc
git: git://git.collabora.co.uk/git/telepathy-gabble.git
gitweb: http://git.collabora.co.uk/?p=telepathy-gabble.git
Enhancements:
• Gabble now advertises a 'pmuc-v1' capability bundle, telling the Google Mail
client that we support being invited to MUCs. (fd.o#22768, jonnylamb)
• Rather than hard-coding a list of SOCKS5 proxy servers to use if the user's
own XMPP server does not provide one, Gabble now falls back to a list of
proxy servers returned by discoing the newly-set-up proxies.telepathy.im.
(fd.o#25304, cassidy)
Changes:
• The fallback STUN server is now stun.telepathy.im.
Fixes:
• Always assume that MUC servers will let us change the subject, mitigating
fd.o #13157; previously we assumed they would only let moderators change
the subject. (smcv)
• The password param is now flagged as secret. (fd.o #24558, smcv)
• MUC servers are no longer sent a service discovery request the first time you
request a handle for a room on that server. This was unnecessary—we can just
try to join it, and if it fails it fails—and meant we couldn't join Google
Talk's MUCs (since their server doesn't respond to the discos). (fd.o#21152,
jonnylamb)
• If the TargetID in a MUC request has no server, canonicalize it. Previously
this was only done in RequestHandles() calls. (fd.o#22456, jonnylamb)
• If built with --disable-assumed-ft-cap, Gabble does not advertise support for
file transfers unless a handler is available. This is opt-in for
backwards-compatibility reasons; distros should only turn this flag on if
they're sure the FT capability is turned on when it should be by Mission
Control. (fd.o#25243, smcv)
• Only disco SOCKS5 proxies when they're needed for a file transfer or tube.
(fd.o#21151, cassidy)
