Facebook protocol plugin for libpurple (moved from jgeboski/purple-facebook)
This release fixes these two recent issues:
And other not so recent issues:
Known issues, not fixed yet:
This release fixes "Failed to read thrift" errors which some users may get on login (and probably all users in the next weeks)
It also contains a bunch of long overdue patches that were stuck in backporting hell (first from bitlbee-facebook, then from purple3 to purple2) and now can be free. This is also why the hash in the release name changed from c9b74a765767
to 9ff9acf9fa14
- the previous releases just used patches to fix things, now those are integrated in the purple3 version of this plugin. Yes, this plugin has a weird development workflow.
Changes ported from bitlbee-facebook:

Fixes groupchat join errors
This is in addition to the connection error fixes mentioned in the previous release that happened earlier today. Quoting from the previous release:
It fixes connection errors after facebook discontinued support for old versions of facebook messenger for android. While most of the protocol implementation was already above that version, there was a subtle change that broke fetching of sync_sequence_id, and the previously empty MQTT user agent string is now considered an old version too. See ticket #306
Windows users: get the latest build from the usual place: https://github.com/dequis/purple-facebook/wiki/Installing-on-Windows
This is now the minimum required version.
