Name        : spectrum
Product     : Fedora EPEL 5
Version     : 1.4.7
Release     : 1.el5
URL         : http://spectrum.im/
Summary     : XMPP transport/gateway
Description :
Spectrum is an XMPP transport/gateway. It allows XMPP users to communicate with
their friends who are using one of the supported networks. Spectrum is written
in C++ and uses the Gloox XMPP library and libpurple for “legacy networks”.
Spectrum supports a wide range of different networks such as ICQ, XMPP (Jabber,
GTalk), AIM, MSN, Facebook, Twitter, Gadu-Gadu, IRC and SIMPLE.

Users of RHEL-5 Server need to have RHEL Optional Productivity Apps channel
switched on in order to get libpurple.

Update Information:

Upstream update
* General:
- Fixed various bugs and crashes.
- Resize and convert avatars before sending them into legacy
network.
- Working nicknames/groups synchronization in both directions
using Remote Roster protoXEP. Need patched Ejabberd or extra
Prosody module. Check
http://spectrum.im/projects/spectrum/wiki/Remote_roster.
- Send Adhoc Commands always in the same order.
- Answer to VCard IQ for transport contact.
- Send messages always to bare JID when resources have the
same priority.
- Send disco#info and disco#items features for all protocols.
Fixes bad capability hash in presences.
* ICQ:
- Fixed avatars forwarding from Jabber to ICQ.
- Set use_clientlogin=0 and server=login.icq.com as default
values for older libpurple.
- Forward more informations in VCards. Thanks to Alexander Skovpen.
- Fixed denying of authorization requests.
* XMPP:
- Fixed nickname setting for Jabber MUC.
- Send status code 110 while joining the room.
* Identica:
- Store last message ID in database, so Spectrum doesn't send
the same messages again.
Upgrade to the latest upstream:
* Map Extended Away status to Away if particular libpurple protocol
plugin does not support XA status.
* Added new filetransfer_force_cache_storage=0 config variable to force
storing files from legacy network on server. This is also configurable
per user via Transport Settings adhoc commands.
* Added "Reject all incoming authorizations" Transport Settings option.
* Fixed forwarding of initial presence to XMPP user when more resource
are connected.
* ICQ: working XStatus forwarding from ICQ buddies to XMPP user
(not for EPEL-5).
* XMPP: Fixed GTalk's new email notification when there are more
pending emails.
* IRC: Fixed forwarding of IRC users modes changes.
* Yahoo: Fixed issues when receiving messages from MSN buddies
using Yahoo transport. Thanks to Paolo Encomienda.
* GroupWise: Added support, use protocol=groupwise in config file.
* spectrumctl: No longer enforce any permissions on
filetransfer_cache (it has to be writable by the webserver)
* spectrumctl: Remove the --cron option for action 'list' New
action 'cron' is now intended for regular cron runs:
* It outputs transports that have crashed
* Saves backtraces, logs and the current spectrum_version
(see new --output-dir option)
* Prints location of those files
