Обновился Pidgin (ранее известный как Gaim) — кроссплатформенный IM-клиент, поддерживающий все основные протоколы (ICQ, Jabber, MSN, IRC и др.). Имеются все необходимые функции для такого рода программ — поддержка вкладок в окне разговора, ведение журнала сообщений, метаконтакты, установка и отображение аватаров, смайлики. Также возможно расширение функционала за счет сторонних модулей.
Pidgin является наиболее популярным IM-клиентом для рабочего стола GNOME в Linux, но неплохо чувствует себя и под Windows.
Список изменений: libpurple - In MySpaceIM, messages from spambots are discarded (Justin Williams) - Strip mIRC formatting codes from quit and part messages. - IRC now displays ban lists in-channel for joined channels. - Fixed a bug where the list of loaded plugins would get removed when switching between different operating systems. - Fix reception of IRC PART without a part message on Undernet (fixes a problem with litter in the channel user list). - IRC no longer crashes on /list on servers which erroneously omit RPL_LISTSTART. - Update the NetworkManager support to use D-Bus directly, instead of libnm-glib. Hopefully it’s stable now. It will now compile by default if you have D-Bus support and NetworkManager.h. (Elliott Sales de Andrade) - MSN buddy list synchronization is now more forgiving, only asking about buddies who have disappeared completely from the server list and not those that have simply moved groups. - IRC will now try to append 1-9 to your nick if it is in use, instead of substituting the last character with 1-9 where possible. -Bonjour buddies will be saved persistently if they’re moved out of the “Bonjour” group. (Eion Robb)
Pidgin - The typing notification in the conversation history can be disabled or customized (font, color etc.) in .gtkrc-2.0. - Added a plugin (not installed by default) which adds a Send button back to the conversation window. People without physical keyboards have a hard time with the lack of the button. - Clicking on the buddyicon in the conversation window toggles the size of the icon between small and large. - The settings of a chat (e.g. Handle in an XMPP chat, or Exchange in an AIM chat) can be edited from its context menu in the buddy list. - Add a “Present conversation window” preference to the Message Notification plugin; the “Raise conversation window” option does not unminimize windows or draw attention to them when they are on other workspaces--the “Present” option should. - Add a preference to set Escape as the keyboard shortcut for closing the conversation window. - Add an option in the context menu to disable smileys in the selected text in the conversation history/log viewer. This should help people who regularly paste code in conversations. - Add a preference to choose the minimum size of the text input area in lines. - Moved the “Local alias” field in the Modify Account dialog to be below the “User Options” heading on the “Basic” tab. - Number of room occupants is now shown in chat tooltips where possible
General - The configure script now dies on more absent dependencies. The --disable-xxx arguments to configure can be used to bypass unneeded dependencies. - - This will also cause the configure script to die if an --enable-xxx option is used and the dependencies it requires are missing. - The Evolution integration plugin must now be explicitly enabled. Use the --enable-gevolution argument to configure to enable it. - The Contact Availability Prediction plugin must now be explicitly enabled. Use the --enable-cap argument to configure to enable it.
Finch - New default binding ctrl+x to open context menus. - Menu triggers and other bindings will no longer conflict. - Middle click pastes the internal clipboard (when mouse support is enabled). IM, ICQ, общение, бесплатно Источник: //www.slo.ru
