Pidgin, the popular IM client once known as GAIM, has flown out of the coop today with a new release. Pidgin 2.4.0 is the first update in about three months, but it brings a number of features to the client as well as libpurple and Finch. Pidgin 2.4.0 adds support for offline messages for AIM, Yahoo! Messenger 7.0+ file transfer support, 64-bit D-BUS fixes, auto-resizing of the chat input text area, theme support for conversation name colors through the GTK+ theme, and new bindings. These are just some of the changes, with the complete Pidgin/libpurple/Fince 2.4.0 change-log being available on the Pidgin developer website. Additional details and download links for this popular multi-platform instant messenger client are available at Pidgin.im.
