Gisteren is er een update verschenen voor de twee weken geleden uitgebrachte versie 2.5.0 van Pidgin. Dit multiprotocol instantmessagingprogramma, dat voorheen onder de naam Gaim opereerde, kan overweg met de netwerken van AIM, Bonjour, Gadu-Gadu, Google Talk, Groupwise, ICQ, irc, MSN, MySpaceIM, QQ, Silc, Simple, Sametime, XMPP, Yahoo en Zephyr. De software is beschikbaar voor Windows en Linux en is prima in Gnome 2 en KDE 3.1 te integreren. Voor Mac OS X-gebruikers is er Adium X. Pidgin is opensource en wordt onder versie 2 van de gpl-licentie uitgebracht. Het changelog van deze release laat de volgende veranderingen zien:

- Fix some possible crashes in MSNP15.
- Enable a default SSL trust relationship for MSN servers.
- Avoid disconnecting from XMPP servers on parse errors that are non-fatal.

- Fix a crash that could appear with AIM buddy tooltips.
