Pidgin 2.7.7
Pidgin, previously known as Gaim, is a multi-protocol instant messaging client for Linux, BSD, MacOS X, and Windows. Pidgin messenger is compatible with AIM and ICQ (Oscar protocol), MSN Messenger, Yahoo!, IRC, Jabber, SILC, Gadu-Gadu, GroupWise Messenger, and Zephyr networks.
Pidgin users can log in to multiple accounts on multiple IM networks simultaneously. This means that you can be chatting with friends on AOL Instant Messenger, talking to a friend on Yahoo Messenger, and sitting in an IRC channel all at the same time.
Pidgin supports many features of the various networks, such as file transfer, away messages, typing notification, and MSN window closing notification. It also goes beyond that and provides many unique features.
A few popular features are Buddy Pounces, which give the ability to notify you, send a message, play a sound, or run a program when a specific buddy goes away, signs online, or returns from idle; and plugins, consisting of text replacement, a buddy ticker, extended message notification, iconify on away, spell checking, tabbed conversations, and more.
Pidgin runs on a number of platforms, including Windows, Linux, and Qtopia (Sharp Zaurus and iPaq).
Pidgin integrates well with GNOME 2 and KDE 3.1's system tray, as well as Windows's own system tray. This allows you to work with Pidgin without requiring the buddy list window to be up at all times.
Pidgin is under constant development, and releases are usually frequent. The latest news regarding Pidgin can be found on the news page.
What's New in This Release:
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. (#12906)
Pidgin:
· Avoid a use-after-free race condition in the media code (when there's an error reported by GStreamer). (#12806, Jakub Adam)
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. (#8247)
· Added extended capabilities support (none implemented).
· Merged the work done on the ****** SoC (major rewrite of SLP code)
· Reworked the data transfer architecture. (SlpArchitecture)
· Lots of little changes.
· Don't process zero-length DC messages. (#12660)
· Fixed a bunch of memory leaks.
· Prevent a use-after-free condition.
XMPP:
· Avoid a double-free in the ****** Relay (V/V) code.
· Avoid double error message when failing a file transfer. (#12757)
· 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! (#12715)
· Fixed a few printf("%s", NULL) crashes for broken OSes.
Windows-Specific Changes:
· Build the Pidgin Theme Editor plugin (finally).
· Untarring (for themes) now works for non-ASCII destination paths.
