Pidgin Team has released a new version of their famous multiprotocol instant messaging client.

Pidgin allows you to use all of your IM accounts at once and works with the following networks:

* AIM
* Bonjour
* Gadu-Gadu
* Google Talk
* Groupwise
* ICQ
* IRC
* MSN
* QQ
* SILC
* SIMPLE
* Sametime
* XMPP
* Yahoo!
* Zephyr

Changelog:

* General changes
o Various bug and memory leak fixes
* Windows-specific changes
o Updated gtkspell to include a patch to share Aspell dictionaries among all the input fields to avoid excessive memory usage.
o Updated libxml2 to 2.6.30
o Bonjour protocol now appears even if Bonjour for Windows isn't present (displays message indicating Bonjour for Windows must be installed if you try to log in and it isn't installed).
o libpurple now looks for a default prefs.xml in the CSIDL_COMMON_APPDATA directory (e.g. \Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\purple\prefs.xml) similarly to how this is done on other platforms.
