I'm planning on doing all sorts of tutorials for pidgin 3 when it gets closer to release. Things are so much different that it's going to be a requirement to get people to port stuff :)

Yeah we're trying to tackle the usability stuff in Pidgin 3. Unfortunately due to API guarantees we just can't make the changes people want in purple2/pidgin2, so it is what it is. We are nearing an alpha soon (tm) (no date s

We're still here!! And there's a ton of support for stuff via third party protocols. I know it's not ideal, but things will get easier when Pidgin 3 finally gets closer to a release. See this page for a list of all the third

You may be interested to know that Pidgin 3 is targeting macOS natively. We don't have a release date yet, but we are inching closer and closer to an alpha which I've written a blog post about what we're targeting with it. Ye

We don't need a new GPL.. ML creating a derivative work is still a derivative work. So if said derivative work ends up in a non gpl compatible code base, that code base is then violating the license. I would assume that GitHub/Mic

Pidgin will be in Gtk4 one day.. But right now we're still trying to replace deprecated API that we're using with Gtk3...

not to mention that a git branch is NOT your typical VCS branch. It's an ephemeral named head, nothing more than a tag (that lives outside of the normal tag interface).

I highly recommend gource. Since it's at least somewhat maintained (last commit was 9 months ago) where codeswarm hasn't been touched in 6 years...

So to be "safe" and "secure" we can only have strings 256 characters long, or we need to waste a few bytes repeatedly for short strings. Sounds like the UTF-8 vs UTF-16/32 debate..
