| 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: 2.5.0 |
libpurple:
* Ability to create custom smileys (currently only the MSN protocol
utilizes the feature). (Thanks to Mauro Sérgio Ferreira Brasil,
Marcus Lundblad, Jorge Villaseñor and other contributors)
* Add a configure option, --with-system-ssl-certs to allow packagers
to specify a system-wide SSL CA certificates directory. When set,
we don't install our SSL CA certs, so it's important that the
libpurple package depend on the CA certificates.
* Add SSL Certificates support to the NSS SSL plugin. (Thanks to Lou
Cipher)
XMPP:
* Fix a bug that caused the UI to not refresh and caused the client
to use 99% CPU when an XMPP account lost its connection to the
server.
* Possibly fix a bug where some clients could get into a state
where they moved a buddy back and forth between two groups in
an endless loop.
IRC:
* /ctcp command (Vladislav Guberinić)
* Allow for auto-detection of incoming UTF-8 formatted text on
accounts which are configured to use some other encoding.
MSN:
* Update MSN support to protocol 15 (Elliott Sales de Andrade, Jorge
Villaseñor, Mike Ruprecht, Carlos Silva, Ma Yuan, Daniel Ljungborg
and others)
* Personal messages are now supported. They are treated as status
messages.
* Offline IM is now supported.
* Aliasing is now supported server-side.
* Buddies are now emblemed. Bots and web clients should now be
distinguished.
* Update smiley set for non-faces.
* Failing to update a buddy icon when the buddy has gone offline no
longer crashes.
* Custom smileys received in a chat no longer go to a new window.
* Processing is no longer completely frozen after the servers block a
message because it contains (what they consider) inappropriate text.
Pidgin:
* Custom buddy icons can now be added to and removed from buddy list
entries via the buddy list entry right-click menu.
* Resize large incoming custom smileys to a maximum of 96px on either
side.
* Offer to add new buddies into the same contact as existing buddies
in the same group if the alias given is the same.
* Minor smiley style update.
General:
* Group and Chat buddy list entries can now be given custom buddy
icons.
Finch:
* Added "Invite..." menu to chats.
* Added "View All Logs" menu in the buddylist to display a list of all IM
logs.
* Added '/msgcolor' command to change colors of different classes of
messages in a conversation. See '/help msgcolor' for details.
* Added tab-completion for commands in conversation windows.
