- MattJ100 3y agoYeah, Pidgin has fallen behind significantly with regards to modern XMPP compliance. The developers are still working on Pidgin actively, but the focus is on a big rewrite of the foundations right now (3.0) so they can more easily support modern IM features.
- oblio 3y agoI wish them luck, but considering their lack of manpower, by the time 3.0 comes out for "modern IM features", we'll probably have telepathic computers. I was there when they had the famous video-voice branch. Heck, I just checked: https://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/vvAPI?version=1 https://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/vvAPI?version=1 It was 15 (!) years ago :-)
