http://www.filehippo.com/download_pidgin/

Changes:

version 2.5.2 (10/19/2008):

libpurple:

* Fixed a crash on removing a custom buddy icon on a buddy.

* Fixed a crash caused by certain self-signed SSL certificates.

* Enable a number of strong ciphers which were previously disabled

when using NSS. (Thanks to Marcus Trautwig.)

Pidgin:

* The status selector now saves your message when changing status.

* Fix a case where a conversation window could close unexpectedly.

* A mute sounds option has been added to the preferences window to

help with discoverability. CTRL+S is no longer bound to mute.

* Added ability to change the color of visited links (using the theme

control plugin, or setting the color in ~/.gtkrc-2.0)

* Fix a crash occuring when a custom smiley is deleted and re-added and

used in an open conversation after being re-added.

Finch:

* A new 'Nested Grouping' option in the 'Grouping' plugin. Group

hierarchies are defined by the '/' character in the group names.

* A bug was fixed where some key-bindings wouldn't work with some TERMs

(e.g. xterm-color, screen-linux etc.)

MSN:

* Operations (such as moving to a new group) on contacts that were added

in the same session should now complete correctly, and not cause

synchronization errors at next login.

* Minor fixes to login process during a server transfer.

* Restored the "Has You" feature to the MSN protocol tooltips.

* ADL 205/214/etc errors should no longer prevent login.

XMPP:

* Sending and receiving custom smileys using the specification in

XEP-0231 (bits of binary) and XHTML-IM

Yahoo:

* Only send a Ping once every hour. This prevents the account from

being disconnected from the server periodically.

o Fix use of av_len in perl bindings to fix some off-by-one bugs. (Paul Aurich)

o On ICQ, advertise the ICQ 6 typing capability. This should fix the reports of typing notifications not working with third-party clients. (Jaromír Karmazín)

o Fix an error with offline messages by shipping the new "Microsoft Secure Server Authority" and the "Microsoft Internet Authority" certificates. These are now always installed even when using --with-system-ssl-certs because most systems don't ship those intermediate certificates.

o Many other fixes and code cleanup.

* MySpace

o Respect your privacy settings set using the official MySpace client.

o Send "client-accepts-full-bind-result" attribute during SASL login. This will fix Google Talk login failures if the user configures the wrong domain for his/her account.

o Support new <metadata/> element to indicate no XEP-0084 User Avatar. (Paul Aurich)

* Pidgin

o On GTK+ 2.14 and higher, we're using the gtk-tooltip-delay setting instead of our own (hidden) tooltip_delay pref. If you had previously changed that pref, add a line like this to ~/.purple/gtkrc-2.0 (where 500 is the timeout (in ms) you want):

gtk-tooltip-timeout = 500

To completely disable tooltips (e.g. if you had an old tooltip_delay of zero), add this to ~/.purple/gtkrc-2.0:

gtk-enable-tooltips = 0

o Moved the release notification dialog to a mini-dialog in the buddylist. (Casey Ho)

o Fix a crash when closing an authorization minidialog with the X then immediately going offline. (Paul Aurich)

o Fix a crash cleaning up custom smileys when Pidgin is closed.

o Improved support for some message formatting in conversations.

o Allow focusing the coversation history or userlist with F6.

o Fixed the Send Button plugin to avoid duplicate buttons in a single conversation.

o Double-clicking a saved status will now activate it and close the saved status manager, rather than edit the status.

* Finch
