Pidgin 2.5.7 – Full Featured Multi-Network Chat Program

Pidgin 2.5.7 (Windows, Open Source, 13.7MB) [alt DL] is a chat program which lets you log in to accounts on multiple chat networks simultaneously. This means that you can be chatting with friends on MSN, talking to a friend on Google Talk, and sitting in a Yahoo chat room all at the same time.

Also available for Linux.

Changes:

  • Yahoo Protocol 16 support, including new HTTPS login method; this should fix a number of login problems that have recently cropped up.
  • Only display the AIM "Unable to Retrieve Buddy List" message once per connection.
  • Blocking MSN users not on your buddy list no longer disconnects you.
  • When performing operations on MSN, assume users are on the MSN/Passport network if we don't get network ID's for them.
