Pidgin

File Release Notes and Changelog

Release Name: 2.2.0

Notes:
2.2.0 (9/13/2007):
        Sean: 2.2.0 contains the results of several major Google Summer
        of Code branches bringing some new, extraordinary features. We
        have a new protocol, MySpaceIM, a bunch of new features for an
        existing protocol, XMPP, and nifty new certificate management
        to make sure your IM server is who it says it is.

        Ka-Hing: A number of you noticed crashes when dragging windows
        around when certain options are enabled. Well, that was my fault,
        and Sadrul fixed it. So Props to him and poos to me. I haven't
        done much for this release, but the next one should contain
        something that I helped work on. Hint: students are cheap slave
        coders!

        Kevin: I haven't really been coding much in Pidgin, and this
        release is no exception, but I will be working on getting our
        wonderful web site to be a little more functional by next
        release.  I promise!
