| About Pidgin |
Pidgin (aka Gaim) is a multi-protocol instant messenger client for Unix, Linux, and Windows.
Pidgin (previously known as Gaim) is a GTK2-based instant messenger application. It supports multiple protocols via modules, including AIM, ICQ, Yahoo!, MSN, Jabber, IRC, Napster, Gadu-Gadu, Novell Groupwise, SILC, Rendezvous, Trepia and Zephyr. It has many common features found in other clients, as well as many unique features that other clients do not have.
Pidgin is core/UI split, which means in the near future, developers will be able to use the Pidgin backend in their own products with their own user interface.
Requirements
This application requires GTK+ version 2.10.x.
Other dependencies include:
GNUTLS or Mozilla NSS, gtkspell, perl, TCL, TK, libsilc, Evolution-Data-Server, libpurple, finch.

| Latest Version: 2.4.1 |
libpurple:
* Treat AIM Unicode messages as UTF-16 rather than UCS-2; this should have no functional effect, other than continued support on systems which have dropped UCS-2 conversions.
* Add support for setting buddy icons on Gadu-Gadu (Tomasz Salacinski)
* Fix a crash when clearing the buddy icon for an account on XMPP
* Fix a crash during login for some ICQ accounts
* Prefer more available resources on XMPP when priorities are equal
* Fix incorrectly marking some Yahoo! contacts as blocked
* Improved handling of UTF-8 group names on ICQ (beret)
* Fix a crash when starting if you have a Zephyr account
* Increase XMPP ping timeout to 120 seconds, to prevent poor network connections from timing out unnecessarily.
* Don't crash on XMPP forms with empty default values.
* Fix issues with CHAP authentication for SOCKS5 proxies.
Pidgin:
* Remove a workaround for older versions gstreamer that was causing crashes on some non-Linux systems such as HPUX
* Fix some cases of the conversation input entry area being 1 pixel high
* Fix for displaying channel & buddy names in conversation window when they have '&' in them
* Some memory leak fixes, especially in the Text Replacement plugin
* Rectangular but non-square buddy icons have rounded corners in the buddy list
Finch:
* Fix compiling with Glib older than 2.6
* Ensure existing conversations selected from the 'Send IM' dialog are given focus
* Move the tooltip on the left of the buddylist if there's not enough room on the right to show it.
