Pidgin 2.4.0 发布
Pidgin 在今天发布了 2.4.0 版。新版本对 libpurple 库、Pidgin 及 Finch 都有所改进。比如，libpurple 添加了对 AIM 的离线消息支持、现在支持 Yahoo! Messenger 7.0+ 以上版本的文件传输方法、Pidgin 聊天窗口的文字输入区域能够自动调整大小等。另外，Pidgin 2.4.0 也对一些 bug 进行了修正。
Pidgin 2.4.0 的详细更改日志如下：
* libpurple
o Added support for offline messages for AIM accounts (thanks to Matthew Goldstein)
o Fixed various problems with loss of status messages when going or returning from idle on MySpaceIM.
o Eliminated unmaintained Howl backend implementation for the Bonjour protocol. Avahi (or Apple's Bonjour runtime on win32) is now required to use Bonjour.
o Partial support for viewing ICQ status notes (Collin from ComBOTS GmbH).
o Support for /notice on IRC.
o Support for Yahoo! Messenger 7.0+ file transfer method (Thanumalayan S.)
o Support for retrieving full names and addresses from the address book on Yahoo! Japan (Yusuke Odate)
o The AIM/ICQ server-side preference for "allow others to see me as idle" is no longer unconditionally set to "yes" even when your libpurple preference is "no."
o Fix SSL certificate checks for renewed certificates
o Fix the ability to set vCard buddy icons on Google Talk/XMPP
o D-Bus fixes on 64bit
o Fixed retrieval of buddy icons and setting of server-side aliases on Yahoo! and Yahoo! Japan when using an HTTP proxy server (Gideon N. Guillen)
o Fixed an MSN bug that would leave you appearing offline when transferred to different server* Pidgin
o Input text area in conversation windows auto-resizes to fit more lines (up to a maximum of 4 lines)
o Added the ability to theme conversation name colors (red and blue) through your GTK+ theme, and exposed those theme settings to the Pidgin GTK+ Theme Control plugin (Dustin Howett)
o Fixed having multiple alias edit areas in the infopane (Elliott Sales de Andrade)
o Save the conversation "Enable Logging" option per-contact (Moos Heintzen)
o Typing notifications are now shown in the conversation area* Finch
o Color is used in the buddylist to indicate status, and the conversation window to indicate various message attributes. Look at the sample gntrc file in the man page for details.
o The default keybinding for dump-screen is now M-D and uses a file request dialog. M-d will properly delete-forward-word, and M-f has been fixed to imitate readline's behavior.
o New bindings alt+tab and alt+shift+tab to help navigating between the higlighted windows (details on the man page).
o Recently signed on (or off) buddies blink in the buddy list.
o New action 'Room List' in the action list can be used to get the list of available chat rooms for an online account.
o The 'Grouping' plugin can be used for alternate grouping in the buddylist. The current options are 'Group Online/Offline' and 'No Group'.
o Added a log viewer
o Added the ability to block/unblock buddies - see the buddy context menu and the menu for the buddy list.
o Fixed a bug preventing finch working on x86_64

等deb包。。不想自己编译了。。。。
很有前途。。
显示MSN群发言人名字还需要打补丁否？
使用QQ群还需要打补丁否？
楼上的，有这个补丁？
其實除了Mercury IM, 還有哪個IM支援M群?
過往在Pidgin, 都看不到M群中哪個人在發言, 只看到訊息.
现在，除了QQ群名字显示不正常以外，连QQ好友的名字也都是NULL了。。。
编译了一下，发现和2.3.1有如下的变化
1. 聊天窗口可输入文字的区域宽度貌似不能调整了
2. 对方输入文字的时候，2.3.1的提示是在聊天窗口的右上角，现在直接在聊天文字的显示区域用文字提示了。
3. About中的图片变化了
4. 鼠标移动到分组上面会有提示的
@JimHu
You can try to copy 2.3.0's libqq.so file to change that file in the new version.

it is unusable at all..
QQ群显示的问题解决没？？
@Zer4tul 确切地说，一个是小小地修改一下源码，另一个要替换回2..3..0的一个文件。具体看这里：
http://xxb.is-programmer.com/articles/791/pidgin-msn.html
貌似QQ也不好。。。
msn帐号还是用 emesene 比较不错 svn的下来 ./emesene 就能启动
传文件太慢了啊
好象还是不支持离线消息吧？有用过离线消息的吗？
比2.3.1还惨，2.3.1只是qq群显示NULL，现在不但qq群显示NULL，就是qq好友都一概NULL了！
看来有qq的还是乖乖回到2.2版或者gaim。
楼上的是在windows里用2.4.0吗？我在windows里用2.4.0，QQ好友都是null，但在ubuntu中正常，可能是GTK+ for windows的关系

我的QQ好友也是没有显示名称,都是null和QQ群一样了,
我在Linux下还在用gaim2.0.0dev版，qq聊天都正常，就是不太会自动更新群/好友等（退出一个群后，每次登陆都提示我不在群中，加了个新好友过2天找不着了，还得继续添加，最后开了tx的qq添加好友解决），基于在windows下新版pidgin的垃圾表现，我还是不要升级了。
新版GTK庫對QQ的支持問題。。。用QQ的用戶建議不要更新到2.12.8版本GTK+！
GTK+更新到這個版本的話。。-v-。。嘛。。號碼人名信息會全挂而已
不過用Pidgin 2.40 + GTK 2.12.1(Pidgin 2.3.1附帶)使用時發現有些很不舒服小問題（例如最不爽的一點。。。調整不了對話窗分欄位置。。。。），綜上。。。建議大家還是先繼續使用2.3.1保持觀望把。。。=v=
話説，偶就Windows下的Pidgin用戶（當然Linux下也用。。）。。。沒感覺很垃圾嘛。。。。
貌似GTK新版本(UTF8)和QQ(GB18030)的编码有冲突，导致字符显示错误。
另说一句，2.4.0鼠标挪到Group上，出现的提示信息烦的很，
QQ群显示不正确似乎是QQ协议有所修改，分析QQ群名字的时候错开了两个字节。下面这个patch在我的机器上可以解决这个问题，仅供参考：
