Pidgin 2.5.1 - Multi-Protocol Instant Messaging Client

Pidgin 2.5.1 (Windows, Open Source, 12.2MB) [alt DL] is a multi-protocol instant messaging (IM) client for Linux, BSD, MacOS X, and Windows. It is compatible with AIM and ICQ (Oscar protocol), MSN Messenger, Yahoo!, IRC, Jabber, Gadu-Gadu, SILC, GroupWise Messenger, and Zephyr networks.

Changes:

  • In the Join/Part plugin, add the ability to apply the rules to buddies. By default, joins and parts for buddies are still shown.
  • Support SOCKS proxies specified in GNOME or Windows proxy settings.
  • 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.
  • Include some perl files that were mistakenly omitted in 2.5.0.
  • Prevent use of custom smilies without "shortcuts."
  • Fix a crash that could appear with AIM buddy tooltips.
  • General refresh of many icons in the interface.
  • Many cleanups to artwork source are now included in the distribution.
  • A new "throbber" animation has been added to indicate when accounts
    are connecting.
