Pidgin 2.2 has been released

Pidgin, one of the most popular multi-protocol instant messaging client for Windows and Linux (and my favorite instant messaging client) that has built-in support for 16 instant messaging protocols so far (AIM, Bonjour, Gadu-Gadu, Google Talk, Groupwise, ICQ, IRC, MSN, MySpaceIM, QQ, SILC, SIMPLE, Sametime, XMPP, Yahoo!, Zephyr) now has reached version 2.2

And just like it’s previous release, this new version fixed several issue to some of the supported protocols in pidgin, while also adding a new protocol plugin for MySpaceIM (which is still unknown to me, simply because i don’t use MySpace)

Some changelogs from this version are :

• New protocol plugin: MySpaceIM
• Some adjustments to fix sending messages when using the MSN HTTP method
• Yahoo! Chat is fixed
• AIM file transfer issues between Pidgin and other clients have been fixed
• Properly restore idle status and time for AIM and ICQ accounts when they reconnect after being disconnected
• Remember the ‘Enable Sounds’ setting for a conversation

To be honest, actually i’m only using the MSN and YM protocol simply because most of my friends here use YM as their IM client while the MSN account is mostly used to chat with other people from outside of my country

But, just in case you’re looking for a replacement for your YM or MSN program, i’d definitely recommend this program especially to those who’s running more than 2 IM program at the same time
