Pidgin 2.5.8 Telah Dilepaskan.

Selepas beberapa masalah yang dihadapi oleh para pengguna ubuntu mengenai Yahoo! Messenger menggunakan pidgin (seperti tidak boleh connect, gambar user tidak keluar, dan sebagainya), Pidgin tampil dengan versi terbaru, iaitu Pidgin 2.5.8.

Apa yang terbaru mengenai Pidgin terbaru ini?

• ICQ
  • Fix misparsing a web message as an SMS message. (Yuriy Kaminskiy)

• MSN
  • Increase NS command history size to prevent crashes on buddy lists that have a lot of buddies on other networks like Yahoo!

• MySpace
  • Accounts with empty buddy lists are now properly marked as connected.
  • Fix receiving messages from users of MySpace IM's web client.

• Yahoo
  • Fixed phantom online buddies. They should now properly disappear when signing out.
  • Fixed the crashes some users were seeing with cn.scs.msg.yahoo.com in 2.5.7.
  • Fixed compiling on systems with glib 2.4.x or older.
  • Fixed an issue with file transfers. This may not resolve all issues, but it should resolve at least some of the most common ones.
  • The pager server will automatically update to scsa.msg.yahoo.com if the user empties the field or if it is scs.msg.yahoo.com. This should ease the pain of transition to the new login method.

• XMPP
  • Fix an incompatibility betweeen Prosody and libpurple clients.

Saya tertarik dengan update yang dilakukan oleh para developer pidgin mengenai Yahoo! Messenger.

Untuk proses instalasi, buka terminal dan masukkan code di bawah satu-persatu dan enter.

sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com \ 67265eb522bdd6b1c69e66ed7fb8bee0a1f196a8

echo deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/pidgin-developers/ppa/ubuntu \ `lsb_release --short --codename` main | \
sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pidgin-ppa.list

Kemudian buka Update Manager dan klik Check. Anda akan nampak update untuk pidgin versi baru ini.

SELAMAT MENCUBA!!
