Any incoming gateway authorization will have to be authorized by the IM client. Proper XMPP authorizations have been implemented. You can chat with anybody and incoming messages will be sent to all three sessions. So you can use your mobile, WebClient IM and desktop IM client and you will see people on ICQ and MSN in all of those. All of these sessions can use the IM networks that have been registered and logging out does not close the Purple sessions unless you are logging out from the last XMPP session of your account. New engine can handle multiple (concurrent) XMPP sessions from the same account.

You can finally see roster items with those pictures in your IM client now (people from MSN or ICQ for example). Only one module (Purple) will be installed and you can use it to connect to much more networks.ĪIM, Bonjou, Facebook, Gadu-Gadu, GroupWise, ICQ, IRC, MSN, MySpaceIM, QQ, SILC, SIMPLE, Sametime, Twitter, XMPP, Yahoo protocols are supported and more are coming.Īll of the IM networks support avatars. These former modules are not distributed any more. In the real world, the Purple module is a replacement for MSN, ICQ, Yahoo and other modules that you know in IM gateways. IceWarp released open source Purple Server which wraps the whole libpurple functionality and offers the TCP/IP protocol to communicate with it. It is not possible to use the libpurple library directly in IceWarp Server, because IceWarp Server is not opensource. The reason for a server-client application is the libpurple license.

It uses the standalone Purple Server, which integrates the libpurple library that is used by such applications and projects like Meebo, Pidgin, Gaim and Adium.
