+  * '''General'''
+    * Check the basic constraints extension when validating SSL/TLS certificates. This fixes a security hole that allowed a malicious man-in-the-middle to impersonate an IM server or any other https endpoint. This affected both the NSS and GnuTLS plugins. (Discovered by an anonymous person and Jacob Appelbaum of the Tor Project, with thanks to Moxie Marlinspike for first publishing about this type of vulnerability. Thanks to Kai Engert for guidance and for some of the NSS changes) (CVE-2014-3694)
+    * Allow and prefer TLS 1.2 and 1.1 when using the NSS plugin for SSL. (Elrond and Ashish Gupta) (#15909)

+    * Encrypted account passwords are preserved until the new one is set.
+    * Fix loading Google Talk and Facebook XMPP accounts.
+
+  * '''Windows-Specific Changes'''
+    * Don't allow overwriting arbitrary files on the file system when the
+	  user installs a smiley theme via drag-and-drop. (Discovered by Yves
+	  Younan of Cisco Talos) (CVE-2014-3697)
+    * Updates to dependencies
+      * NSS 3.17.1 and NSPR 4.10.7

+  * '''Gadu-Gadu'''
+    * Updated internal libgadu to version 1.12.0.
+
+  * '''Groupwise'''

+
+  * '''IRC'''
+    * Fix a possible leak of unencrypted data when using /me command with OTR. (Thijs Alkemade) (#15750)
+
+  * '''MXit'''
+    * Fix potential remote crash parsing a malformed emoticon response. (Discovered by Yves Younan and Richard Johnson of Cisco Talos) (CVE-2014-3695)
+
+  * '''XMPP'''
+    * Fix potential information leak where a malicious XMPP server and possibly even a malicious remote user could create a carefully crafted XMPP message that causes libpurple to send an XMPP message containing arbitrary memory. (Discovered and fixed by Thijs Alkemade and Paul Aurich) (CVE-2014-3698)
+    * Fix Facebook XMPP roster quirks. (#15041, #15957)
+
+  * '''Yahoo'''
+    * Fix login when using the GnuTLS library for TLS connections. (#16172)
