/join fails to work on the latest version of empathy

[Dave Morley]

Binary package hint: empathy

open empathy
setup irc
open the NickServ window
type /join #ubuntu-testing

Nothing happens

Pre alpha 2 a new channel window would open with access to the #ubuntu-testing channel

  [ Ken VanDine ]
  * debian/patches/20_libindicate.patch:
    - split out notification related stuff into separate patches
  * debian/patches/35_check_actions_notifications.patch
    - If notifications support actions, inhibit updates
  * debian/patches/32_append_notifications.patch
    - use built in empathy functions to check caps

  [ Steve Langasek ]
  * debian/control: have empathy-common Breaks: libempathy-{gtk-,}common
    and empathy-doc instead of conflicting with them, and drop the Provides:;
    the special semantics of C/R/P aren't applicable here, and in fact seem
    to confuse update-manager in some cases into refusing to upgrade empathy.
