Changes:
• 'require-encryption' is now enabled by default. This seems like a
reasonable thing to do in 2011. It will obviously cause connection
errors if any of the user's configured Jabber servers do not support
encryption. It may also cause problems if the user is connecting to
servers with untrustworthy SSL certificates.
When Gabble encounters a certificate it does not trust, it creates a
ServerTLSConnection channel, in the hope that it will be handled by an
application which can prompt the user. Empathy has a handler for such
channels.
On other platforms where no handler is available, if
require-encryption is disabled, Gabble falls back to accepting those
certificates (on the basis that encryption was being used
opportunistically), but if it is enabled, Gabble falls back to
rejecting them.
• Relatedly, Gabble will itself accept certificates for domains listed
in 'extra-certificate-identities' if they have no other problems.
Previously it would include these identities in a property on the
ServerTLSConnection channel, but do nothing with them itself. (Marco
Barisione, fd.o#38749)
Fixes:
• If telepathy-yell is installed to /usr/include, the included copy will
still be used. (Vincent Penquerc'h, fd.o#37492)
• With GnuTLS 2.12, sending very large amounts of data will no longer
cause the connection to stall. (Sjoerd Simons, fd.o#36077)
• File transfer channels should now work on Windows. (Thomas Flüeli,
fd.o#31621)
