Mit der Aktualisierung von Pidgin in Ubuntu wurden diverse Verbesserungen vorgenommen.
Unter anderem:
* libpurple
o 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)
o 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.
o Add SSL Certificates support to the NSS SSL plugin. (Thanks to Lou Cipher)
* XMPP
o 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.
o 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
o /ctcp command (Vladislav Guberinić)
o Allow for auto-detection of incoming UTF-8 formatted text on accounts which are configured to use some other encoding.
* MSN
o Update MSN support to protocol 15 (Elliott Sales de Andrade, Jorge Villaseñor, Mike Ruprecht, Carlos Silva, Ma Yuan, Daniel Ljungborg and others)
o Personal messages are now supported. They are treated as status messages.
o Offline IM is now supported.
o Aliasing is now supported server-side.
o Buddies are now emblemed. Bots and web clients should now be distinguished.
o Update smiley set for non-faces.
o Failing to update a buddy icon when the buddy has gone offline no longer crashes.
o Custom smileys received in a chat no longer go to a new window.
o Processing is no longer completely frozen after the servers block a message because it contains (what they consider) inappropriate text.
* Pidgin
o Custom buddy icons can now be added to and removed from buddy list entries via the buddy list entry right-click menu.
o Resize large incoming custom smileys to a maximum of 96px on either side.
o Offer to add new buddies into the same contact as existing buddies in the same group if the alias given is the same.
o Minor smiley style update.
Auf Pidgin.im kann man bereits die neueste Version 2.5.1 bekommen, wenn man diese unbedingt schon haben mag. In Ubuntu ist derzeit auf 2.5 aktualisiert.
