  This security issue was fixed:

  - CVE-2017-2640: Out of bounds memory read in
  purple_markup_unescape_entity (boo#1028835).

  These non-security issues were fixed:
  + libpurple:

  - Fix the use of uninitialised memory if running non-debug-enabled
  versions of glib.

  - Update AIM dev and dist ID's to new ones that were assigned by AOL.

  - TLS certificate verification now uses SHA-256 checksums.

  - Fix the SASL external auth for Freenode (boo#1009974).

  - Remove the MSN protocol plugin. It has been unusable and dormant for
  some time.

  - Remove the Mxit protocol plugin. The service was closed at the end
  ofSeptember 2016.

  - Remove the MySpaceIM protocol plugin. The service has been defunct for
  a long time (pidgin.im#15356).

  - Remove the Yahoo! protocol plugin. Yahoo has completely reimplemented
  their protocol, so this version is no longer
  operable as of August 5th, 2016.
  ended April 30th, 2015.

  - Fix gnutls certificate validation errors that mainly affected Google.
  + General:

  - Replace instances of d.pidgin.im with developer.pidgin.im and update
  the urls to use https (pidgin.im#17036).
  + IRC:

  - Fix an issue of messages being silently cut off at 500 characters.
  Large messages are now split into parts and sent
  one by one (pidgin.im#4753).");
