Pidgin Portable 2.5.8 (Windows, Open Source, 14MB) is the versatile Pidgin instant messaging client packaged as a portable app, so you can take your IM settings and buddy lists with you. It has all the same great features as Pidgin, including support for AOL, Yahoo, MSN, ICQ and Jabber networks, but there's nothing to install on the local PC. Changes: ICQ Fix misparsing a web message as an SMS message. (Yuriy Kaminskiy) MSN Increase NS command history size to prevent crashes on buddy lists that have a lot of buddies on other networks like Yahoo! MySpace Accounts with empty buddy lists are now properly marked as connected. Fix receiving messages from users of MySpace IM's web client. Yahoo Fixed phantom online buddies. They should now properly disappear when signing out. Fixed the crashes some users were seeing with cn.scs.msg.yahoo.com in 2.5.7. Fixed compiling on systems with glib 2.4.x or older. Fixed an issue with file transfers. This may not resolve all issues, but it should resolve at least some of the most common ones. The pager server will automatically update to scsa.msg.yahoo.com if the user empties the field or if it is scs.msg.yahoo.com. This should ease the pain of transition to the new login method. XMPP Fix an incompatibility betweeen Prosody and libpurple clients. IceRocket Tags: pidgin, im, portable, windows open source
