(2010.11.21)

Changes in 2.7.6

General:
* Included Microsoft Internet Authority 2010 and Microsoft Secure Server Authority 2010 intermediate CA certificates to our bundle. This fixes the "Unable to validate certificate" error for omega.contacts.msn.com.

Pidgin:
* Avoid a use-after-free race condition in the media code (when there's an error reported by GStreamer).

AIM and ICQ:
* SSL option has been changed to a tri-state menu with choices for "Don't Use Encryption", "Use Encryption if Available", and "Require Encryption".
* Fix some possible clientLogin URL issues introduced in version 2.7.5.
* Don't show a ": Ok" connection error when using clientLogin.
* Cleaned up some debug output for improved readability.

MSN:
* Added support for MSNP16, including Multiple Points of Presence (MPOP) which allows multiple simultaneous sign-ins.
* Added extended capabilities support (none implemented).
* Merged the work done on the Google SoC (major rewrite of SLP code)
* Reworked the data transfer architecture. (SlpArchitecture)
* Lots of little changes.
* Don't process zero-length DC messages.
* Fixed a bunch of memory leaks.
* Prevent a use-after-free condition.

XMPP:
* Avoid a double-free in the Google Relay (V/V) code.
* Avoid double error message when failing a file transfer.
* Password-related information is printed out for SASL authentication when the PURPLE_UNSAFE_DEBUG environment variable is set.
* Authentication mechanisms can now be added by UI's or other plugins with some work. This is outside the API/ABI rules!

Windows-Specific Changes:
