Download Pidgin 2.7.10
Pidgin has been updated to version 2.7.10. He had been on the internet for a few days, but has now officially appeared on the Pidgin website itself. This multi-protocol instant messaging program can handle the networks of AIM, Bonjour, Gadu-Gadu, Google Talk, Groupwise, ICQ, irc, MSN, MySpaceIM, QQ, Silc, Simple, Sametime, XMPP, Yahoo and Zephyr. During installation, you can choose from as many as seventy different languages and add spell check. Binaries are available for Windows, but the source code can be compiled under Linux and integrates well into Gnome and the KDE SC. The Mac OS X port is released under the name Adium. The changelog for this release looks like this:
General:
- Force video sources to all have the same capabilities. This reduces the number of times video must be scaled down, saving CPU time.
- Starting multiple video calls and ending one no longer causes the other calls to stop sending audio and video.
- Perl bindings now respect LDFLAGS.
- Added AddTrust External Root CA.
- Resolve some issues validating X.509 certificates signed off the CAcert Class 3 intermediate cert when using the GnuTLS SSL/TLS plugin.
Gadu-Gadu:
- Don’t drop whole messages when text is colored.
group wise:
- Don’t show two windows when using “Get Info” on a buddy.
IRC:
- Don’t send ISON messages longer than 512 bytes.
libpurple:
- Stop sending audio when placing a call on hold.
- Stop translating gpointers to ints in the dbus API. This removes functions from the dbus API.
- Fix D-Bus introspection calls that omit the interface parameter.
- Fixed bugs in purple_str_to_time() that caused the most recent ‘make check’ failures.
- Correct an issue that caused some UIs other than Pidgin or Finch to leave a buddy in the “is typing” state.
- Fix potential information disclosure issues in the Cipher code.
Pidgin:
- Support using the Page Up and Page Down keys on the numeric keypad in the conversation window.
- Fix a few memory leaks.
- Support rendering strikethrough when received as in-line CSS.
- Editable combo boxes are now more friendly to some GTK+ themes.
Plugins:
- The Voice/Video Settings plugin no longer resets selected devices to defaults.
- The Voice/Video Settings plugin no longer crashes when a stored device name is not found in the list of available devices.
- The Autoaccept plugin now allows disabling filename escaping.
- The Autoaccept plugin now allows choosing Reject/Ask/Accept for non-buddies.
QQ:
- QQ2008 is now the default protocol version.
XMPP:
- Don’t crash when receiving an unexpected/invalid jingle transport type.
- Handle Connection: Close headers for BOSH, when the server does not terminate the connection itself.
- Improved parsing for DIGEST-MD5, which should resolve issues connecting to some jabberd2 servers. This corrects an issue parsing one-character or empty elements.
Yahoo!/Yahoo! JAPAN:
- Fix a crash when an account disconnects before a p2p session is completely set up.
