    Update Pidgin to 2.5.3

    Hi..
    I would like to tell how to update pidgin 2.5.2 to 2.5.3
    1- u have to download these three files
    1- pidgin (http://www.getdeb.net/download/3611/0) (561.6 kB)
    2- pidgin-data (http://www.getdeb.net/download/3611/1) (6.9 MB)
    3- Libpurple0 (http://www.getdeb.net/download/3611/2) (1.5 MB)
    2- Go to the Synaptic package manager and search for pidgin.
    Mark "Pidgin" and "pidgin-data" for removal, it will advise its removing a libpurple0 file as well.
    3- Install the pidgin-data file first (right click and open with the GDebi package installer)
    Once pidgin-data is installed then right click on the new libpurple0 installer and install that, then do the same for pidgin.
    4- Start pidgin and it should be working fine.

    I hope u enjoy.....

    Lightbulb Re: Update Pidgin to 2.5.3

    And here is the Version Changes of Pidgin
    libpurple:
    * The Buddy State Notification plugin no longer prints duplicate
    notifications when the same buddy is in multiple groups. (Florian
    Quèze)
    * The Buddy State Notification plugin no longer turns JID's, MSN
    Passport ID's, etc. into links. (Florian Quèze)
    * purple-remote now has a "getstatusmessage" command to retrieve
    the text of the current status message.
    * Various fixes to the nullprpl. (Paul Aurich)
    * Fix a crash when accessing the roomlist for an account that's not
    connected. (Paul Aurich)
    * Fix a crash in purple_accounts_delete that happens when this
    function is called before the buddy list is initialized.
    (Florian Quèze)
    * Fix use of av_len in perl bindings to fix some off-by-one bugs
    (Paul Aurich)
    * On ICQ, advertise the ICQ 6 typing capability. This should fix
    the reports of typing notifications not working with third-party
    clients. (Jaromír Karmazín)
    * Many QQ fixes and improvements, including the ability to connect
    using QQ2008 protocol and sending/receiving of long messages.
    The recommended version to use is still QQ2005.
    * Fix a crash with DNS SRV lookups. (Florian Quèze)
    * Fix a crash caused by authorization requests. (Florian Quèze)

    Gadu-Gadu:
    * Add support for IM images. (Adam Strzelecki)
    * Gadu-Gadu now checks that UID's are valid. (Adam Strzelecki)
    * Gadu-Gadu now does proper charset translations where needed. (Adam
    Strzelecki)

    MSN:
    * Fix an error with offline messages by shipping the *new*
    "Microsoft Secure Server Authority" and the "Microsoft Internet
    Authority" certificates. These are now always installed even when
    using --with-system-ssl-certs because most systems don't ship
    those intermediate certificates.
    * The Games and Office media can now be set and displayed (in
    addition to the previous Music media). The Media status text now
    shows the album, if possible.
    * Messages sent from a mobile device while you were offline are now
    correctly received.
    * Server transfers after you've been connected for a long time
    should now be handled correctly.
    * Many improvements to handling of "federated" buddies, such as those
    on the Yahoo network.
    * Several known crashes have been resolved.
    * Many other fixes and code cleanup.

    MySpace:
    * Respect your privacy settings set using the official MySpace client.
    * Add support for blocking buddies.
    * Fix a bug where buddies didn't appear in their correct groups the
    first time you sign into your account.
    * Properly disconnect and sign out of the service when logging off.
    * Support for foreground and background font colors in outgoing IMs.
    * Support for background font colors in incoming IMs.
    * Many other fixes and code cleanup.

    Sametime:
    * Fix insanely long idle times for Sametime 7.5 buddies by assuming
    0 idle time if the idle timestamp is in the future. (Laurent
    Montaron)
    * Fix a crash that can occur on login. (Raiko Nitzsche)

    SIMPLE:
    * Fix a crash when a malformed message is received.
    * Don't allow connecting accounts if no server name has been
    specified. (Florian Quèze)

    XMPP:
    * Fix the namespace URL we look for in PEP reply stanzas to match
    the URL used in the 'get' requests (Paul Aurich)
    * Resources can be set to the local machine's hostname by using
    __HOSTNAME__ as the resource string. (Jonathan Sailor)
    * Resources can now be left blank, causing the server to generate a
    resource for us where supported. (Jonathan Sailor)
    * Resources now default to no value, but "Home" is used if the
    server refuses to provide a resource.
    * Quit trying to get user info for MUC's. (Paul Aurich)
    * Send "client-accepts-full-bind-result" attribute during SASL
    login. This will fix Google Talk login failures if the user
    configures the wrong domain for his/her account.
    * Support new element to indicate no XEP-0084 User
    Avatar. (Paul Aurich)
    * Fix SHA1 avatar checksum errors that occur when one of the bytes
    in a checksum begins with 0. (Paul Aurich)
    * Fix a problem with duplicate buddies. (Paul Aurich)

    Yahoo:
    * Corrected maximum message lengths for Yahoo!
    * Fix file transfers with older Yahoo protocol versions.

    Zephyr:
    * Enable auto-reply, to emulate 'zaway.' (Toby Schaffer)
    * Fix a crash when an account is configured to use tzc but tzc is
    not installed or the configured tzc command is invalid. (Michael
    Terry)
    * Fix a 10 second delay waiting on tzc if it is not installed or the
    configured command is invalid. (Michael Terry)

    Pidgin:
    * On GTK+ 2.14 and higher, we're using the gtk-tooltip-delay setting
    instead of our own (hidden) tooltip_delay pref. If you had
    previously changed that pref, add a line like this to
    ~/.purple/gtkrc-2.0 (where 500 is the timeout (in ms) you want):
    gtk-tooltip-timeout = 500
    To completely disable tooltips (e.g. if you had an old
    tooltip_delay of zero), add this to ~/.purple/gtkrc-2.0:
    gtk-enable-tooltips = 0
    * Moved the release notification dialog to a mini-dialog in the
    buddylist. (Casey Ho)
    * Fix a crash when closing an authorization minidialog with the X
    then immediately going offline. (Paul Aurich)
    * Fix a crash cleaning up custom smileys when Pidgin is closed.
    * Fix adding a custom smiley using the context menu in a conversation
    if no custom smilies have previously been added using the smiley
    manager.
    * Improved support for some message formatting in conversations.
    * Allow focusing the coversation history or userlist with F6.
    * Fixed the Send Button plugin to avoid duplicate buttons in a single
    conversation.
    * Double-clicking a saved status will now activate it and close the
    saved status manager, rather than edit the status.

    Finch:
    * Allow binding meta+arrow keys for actions.
    * Added default meta+erase binding for delete previous word.
    * Added "Show When Offline" to buddy menus, so a plugin is no longer
    needed.
