It does, but from what I've seen it isn't exactly to use and is a
third party plugin iirc.

Mailing List Shutdown

[Gary Kramlich]

Greetings Programs!

As many of you may know, we've been looking at how to transition our 
mailing lists. They have become very troublesome to manage and have 
become a huge tech debt now that mailman 2 is deprecated and it's not 
exactly straight forward to move to mailman 3.


We looked at a bunch of options, but at the end of the day determined 
that maintaining mailing lists just wasn't worth the effort. We 
considered the amount of time that has to be dedicated to fighting spam, 
 making sure that the large email providers will accept your mail, as 
well as the amount of traffic that we actually handle.


Because of all of this, we have chosen to use Discourse for discussions 
going forward. We have an instance running at discourse.imfreedom.org 
and user accounts are tied into our single sign on provider that runs at 
hub.imfreedom.org.


We will be shutting down the mailing lists on January 20th, 2023. The 
email servers will remain for a bit, and we will be sending replies to 
any incoming mail to the lists to point people to Discourse. I was 
hoping to get this information out to you all earlier, but things don't 
always work out as planned.


Thank you for your understanding as we make this unfortunate but 
necessary change. If you would like to discuss this further, please do 
so on this discourse topic 
https://discourse.imfreedom.org/t/e-mail-migration/23.


Thanks,

The problem is the archives aren't static and need abandoned software to
"stay as the are". I can dump then in a container to limit risk, but that's
still not ideal.

The issue with the current archives is that pipermail is a mailman 2
thing, and mailman 2 has been deprecated for mailman 3 for a while now
and it's not available in distro packager managers anymore. So
something needs to be figured out to turn it into a static site or
something else that's actually maintained.

Email Lists

[Gary Kramlich]

Greetings Programs!

As some of you may be aware, we've been in the process of transitioning 
our email lists to a new server. Well, managing email in 2022 is tedious 
and unforgiving so it's taking forever and I always have a ton more on 
my plate that's easier to do.


As such, the idea has come up to migrate to Discource instead. Because 
of this, I'm trying to see how others feel about this and how we should 
go about importing things. They are listed below.


I've tried looking to see if I can anonymize the archive, but haven't 
found anything mentioning that as a possibility yet.


Please respond as soon as possible as I would really like to start on 
this migration no later than 2022-10-14.


When it comes to this migration, are you for or against it? (Please 
answer yes/no/doesn't matter)


When it comes to this migration, would you like to have users imported 
into the new system? (Please answer yes/no/doesn't matter)


When it comes to the archives, would you prefer to have it imported into 
the new system? (Please answer yes/no/doesn't matter)

With logging turned off, messages will only reach your hard drive if

Google Talk Shutdown

[Gary Kramlich]

Greetings Programs!

As of 2022-06-16 Google is shutting down third party client access to 
Google Talk [1]. This has been in the works for a long time and is 
expected. Unfortunately they didn't provide a time nor a time zone, so 
who knows exactly when it's going to be shut down...


If you would like to continue talking to your Google Contacts you'll 
need to migrate to purple-googlechat[2] from Eion Robb.

There is a version of Pidgin 2 in homebrew that runs without xquartz.

Hello,

  


When trying to install the Auto correct English US feature via the Pidgin
installer for Windows it gives an error message that the file can't be

When trying to download the Zip file via the link displayed in the error

12-Feb-2021".

Please see attached image for more details.


Sorry about that, it's been on our todo list for a while to get it fixed 
and noted as much in our release notes.



Can the installer be updated to remove the spell check option or update the
link it is supposed to install the libraries?

Can the Developer Wiki site be updated to reflect the changes?


As I mentioned above it is in our release announcements[1] and we're 
planning on fixing it, it's just time consuming and error prone and 
honestly you're the first person to mention it in over a year. So it 
didn't seem like many people were interested in it.


That said, I will make it a priority for the next release.

Pidgin 2.14.5 has been released!

[Gary Kramlich]

Whoops we missed May, but hopefully you all enjoy this kind of rushed
release!

Why was it rushed? Well a certain unnamed broker of software
vulnerabilities posted a bounty for vulnerabilities in Pidgin. Thus we
quickly ran a bunch of static analysis tools and patched everything we
could find.

We have no reason to believe that 2.14.5 is any safer than 2.14.4 as the
issues the static analysis found should not be exploitable. However, we
didn’t want to take a chance and leave them in.

We also changed the default value of the Enable automatic router port
forwarding preference from on to off. We suggest you disable this
setting as well if you’re upgrading and you don’t typically send files
directly to other users.

For the first time in a long time we updated our bundled TLS
Certificates. This should hopefully avoid some certificate warnings for
some users but there’s a good chance some third party protocol plugins
users might still see them.

Finally, with all the events regarding the Freenode and Libera IRC
networks, we decided to change the default IRC server from
irc.freenode.net to irc.libera.chat. We will maintain a presence on both
networks for as long as we have users there.

The complete changelog for this release is the following:

General:

There really isn't anything super appealing in 2.14.2, 2.14.3, or
2.14.4, so not upgrading is probably fine.  That said, we won't be
supporting Windows XP anymore as it's been out of support from it's
manufacture for users and we do not have the resources to make sure it
continues to function properly.

You need a win32-dev directory that contains all of our dependencies.
The easiest way to get that right now is from
https://data.imfreedom.org/pidgin/win32-dev.7z

Pidgin 2 on windows doesn't use autotools.  You build it using `make -f
Makefile.mingw` in the root of the source code.

There's a bunch of nonsense in pidgin2 that makes this work, serious you
don't want to dig into it and we replaced most if not all of it in
pidgin 3 already.

Pidgin3 under msys2 currently requires msys2 packages and will not be
distribute-able outside of msys2.  We're working on a solution for that,
but limited resources makes that difficult.

State of the Bird Q2 2021

[Gary Kramlich]

Greetings Programs!

I'm a bit late on announcing this but, next Thursday, April 1st at 2000
UTC I'll we be giving the long awaited Pidgin State of the Bird
presentation on my Twitch channel[1].

I will be discussing what's going on with Pidgin 3, why it's taking so
long, where we're going and so on. I will also be taking questions
during the presentation that will be answered afterwards and I may have
a surprise or two up my sleeve!

So hoping to see many of you there!

Announcing the new website!

[Gary Kramlich]

Greetings, Programs!

As some of you have noticed by now, we launched a new version of
https://pidgin.im last week.  I held back the announcement a bit to
make sure we had worked out any issues that cropped up, and what do
you know, we found a few and fixed them.

This new website is intended to replace the old website as well as the
wiki portion of developer.pidgin.im.  That said, we haven't gotten
everything into the new website yet, so if you're looking for
something and can't find it, be sure to check out
https://old.pidgin.im or better yet, open a pull request to add the
content to the new site :)

If you find any issues in the new site, you can find it's issue
tracker on our new issue tracker under the nest project at
https://issues.imfreedom.org/issues/NEST.

The repository for the new site is currently hosted at
https://bitbucket.org/pidgin/nest.  I say currently because as many of
you know, Atlassian has decided to remove Mercurial support.  They are
removing the option to create new repositories on February 1st, so be
sure to clone the repository now if you're looking to contribute.

I'll be touching base on our migration progress in a near future
email, but rest assured it is in progress and unfortunately it has
taken an excessive amount of time.  In the meantime, enjoy the new
site!

Thanks,

Reddit?

[Gary Kramlich]

Greetings Programs!

For awhile now I've been trying to think of an easier way for people
to reach out to us and get support that didn't include joining irc or
joining the email list.  So after a bit of searching we decided to
give reddit a try.  We still have some customizing to do, but feel
free to check out https://reddit.com/r/pidgin.

Also I should note that in the long term I'm really looking to
shutdown our mailing lists.  They're very low traffic and require more
than zero effort to keep them running/spam free.  Also the mailing
lists on running on hosts that I *REALLY* **REALLY** want to retire
and with email being what it is now, a new IP address can causes
issues.

TL;DR Pidgin subreddit at https://reddit.com/r/pidgin which is kind of
a test run to see if we can shut down our mailing lists.

Thanks,

Re: Pidgin 2.13.0

[Gary Kramlich]

Yes, we prepped the release ahead of time to see if there would be any
immediate feedback.  Also, I was curious to see who was monitoring as it's
been 4 months since the original 2.13.0 source release happened.

Announcements went out on both our announce and development mailing lists,
Facebook, Twitter, Google+, and we updated the website as well.

The windows binaries have been a hard part of this release as we had to
deal with outside parties to get a valid code signing certificate.  If we
released with out signing we would have been bombarded with an influx of
support requests saying it "came from an unknown publisher".  We opted to
not release until we could sign it and avoid that issue as we all did not
want to spend the small amount of free time that we dedicate to this
project answering that inquiry and trying to convince people it was fine.

Re: iphone

[Gary Kramlich]

To add to this we will never have a version that's installable from the iOS
app store. This is due to a licensing issue because the terms of the iOS
app store conflict with the GNU General Public License that we use.  In
theory, an exception could be granted for it, but tha would require anyone
that has code in pidgin to grant the exception.  Since we don't have
contact info for everyone that's contributed over the past 20 years
granting the exception is essentially impossible.

It will affect all clients as they are shutting down the servers.

They said they're turning off the servers so you will no longer be able to
connect since the servers won't exist.

Pidgin 2.12.0 has been released!

[Gary Kramlich]

Pidgin 2.12.0 has just been released!  It contains an update to keep
AIM working as well as fix for the SASL external authentication for
Freenode.  We've also removed all of the broken and no longer
maintained protocols that should help with a lot of the confusion that
they caused.

You can find it on sourceforge at
https://sourceforge.net/projects/pidgin/files/Pidgin/2.12.0/ or on
bitbucket at https://bitbucket.org/pidgin/main/downloads/

Thanks,

Re: Looking by test suite for Pidgin

[Gary Kramlich]

You can run "make check" to run the unit tests.  There's lots of room for
improvement on them, but they cover some basics.

Re: AIM login

[Gary Kramlich]

Hi Donald,

This is Gary Kramlich the current maintainer of Pidgin.  Please excuse
my tardiness in this matter as I haven't had much time to dedicate to
Pidgin in the past few weeks.

That said.  We are staging a new version which will have this updates,
but we will most likely miss the 20161016 date.  If we could get that
extended it would be great.

Also our code base has contains two clients that connect to AIM and as
I've learned recently they do not share keys.  The other clients name
is Finch and if we could get a set of keys for it that would be
awesome.  Otherwise we'll just reuse the Pidgin ones for the time
being.

Also is there a web portal or something where we can manage this keys?
 If so, please respond to me directly as I assume we'll want to
control access to it.

Thanks,

 Dear all
 
 Using Ubuntu 8.04 with standard Pidgin 2.4.3, one account on Yahoo, one

 Pidgin was working well up until now, but since mid last week, when
 double clicking on a buddy (both true for Yahoo/XMPP), the Pidgin buddy
 windows always freezes (turns gray) for around 4 minutes before the
 buddy communication window comes up.
 
 The chatting itself runs at normal speed. No error message when started
 from terminal.
 
 Hope this sounds familiar to you

Do you have the guifications plugin loaded?

You want the plugin pack, not guifications.  They're different packages.

 Launchpad bug reporting would fit there, but I wasn't sure if we wanted
 to do that or not. This is for the answers tracker, which are end-users
 asking questions.

I disagree.  If someone is going to develop in tree, they need to use
mtn.  If they want to develop out of tree they can setup their own build
system using the libpurple-dev package or a source install.  Both of
those are there for these exact reasons.
