Pidgin 2.0.0 Released

Finally, the new version of GAIM … ehm… Pidgin is out. The build has the number 2.0.0 and is not much different then GAIM 2.0.0 beta 4. Following a few screenshots with the biggest difference (beside those new, not so nice icons they use) after the jump.

Some other news in the AOL vs. GAIM case:

This release owes a special thanks to a bunch of people, but I especially want to acknowledge The Software Freedom Law Center, which has represented Pidgin in its negotiations with AOL and helped us form Instant Messaging Freedom Inc. They also represent a ton of other important free and open-source projects and are an excellent cause to donate to.

Now that our legal worries are behind us and the huge undertaking of 2.0.0 is complete, we’re all looking forward to continuing to actively develop Pidgin, Finch, and libpurple, and returning to our regular release cycle.
