5 2.7.3 (08/10/2010):
6 Mark: Lots of little incremental[1] bug fixes and enhancements in this
7 release.
8
9 [1] No whales were harmed[2] during the creation of this release.
10 [2] Probably.
11
12 John: Finally got some fixes out there for you Yahoo users behind some
13 particularly annoying firewalls and proxies, among other fixes. Enjoy!
14
15 2.7.2 (07/21/2010):
16 Mark: We discovered a security issue in Pidgin 2.7.0 and 2.7.1 and
17 decided to release a patched version quickly. This release contains
18 the fix for that crash, and a few other minor fixes.
19
20 2.7.1 (05/29/2010):
21 Elliott: Hey, I'm first! How did that happen?! Maybe because of the
22 interesting changes in this release. Sure there were quite a few bug
23 fixes, but I know what you've all been waiting for is the direct
24 connections in MSN. Trust me, it's really really fast!!
25
26 John: Whoa, short turnaround for us. This is just 17 days after our
27 previous release! This fixes a number of bugs that you've all been
28 reporting a ton of duplicate tickets about and even gives you the new
29 direct connection file transfer support for MSN. Enjoy!
30
31 Marcus: Quite a bit quicker to get this release out, compared with the
32 previous one :). Fixes a number of bugs, and I'm sure the MSN direct
33 connections will please many users. Enjoy!
34
35 2.7.0 (05/12/2010):
36 John: We FINALLY got the ICQ X-Status stuff merged in! And a few other
37 patches that have been sitting on Trac forever. Couple that with some
38 new features and we have an excellent release for all of you!
39
40 Marcus: Finally time for a new release, seems like it took
41 quite a while this time. But then again, there are some new features
42 in there, like file transfer preview (thumbnails) support (only on MSN
43 so far), plus a lot of bug fixes. Enjoy!
44
45 Paul: Yay, a new release! I don't think I added very much useful to
46 this release, other than fixing a paste bug from Chrome (no weird
47 characters appended to the end of your URI). Enjoy!
48
49 Jorge: This is my first NEWS! I'm not sure I added something nice
50 to this release. I know it took a lot of time to bring this one
51 out, however I'm really excited by this release. I hope everyone
52 likes the new features this release brings.
53
54 Elliott: This release took so long, I had to go check the ChangeLog
55 just to see what happened. I doubt many people will notice, but we
56 dropped support for many old things, like GTK+<2.10 and MSNP9. In more
57 exciting news, we have file transfer previews on MSN, and support for
58 setting moods on ICQ and XMPP (which has been waiting forever.)
