3 2.5.1 (08/30/2008):
4 Kevin: This release is mainly a bug-fix release. It solves a few
5 known crashes and updates some of our artwork. Google's Summer of
6 code recently finished up. Some of our students are still working
7 on their branches and none have been merged into released code yet.
8 Look for some of those results to show up in Pidgin releases over the
9 coming months.

11 Elliott: I'm just commenting so Kevin wouldn't be the only one in NEWS
12 and no-one else seems to want to. Anyway, there's a couple MSN login
13 fixes, so try it out. The contact list problems might still be around,
14 but you can probably find a workaround in trac. And there's a tooltip
15 fix for our AIM friends, not that I had anything to do with it (except
16 closing many many duplicate tickets).

18 2.5.0 (08/17/2008):
19 Daniel: Lots of good stuff in this release. Lots of people have worked
20 very hard on the updated MSN protocol, and it's finally time to bring
21 it to the world! There are myriad bugfixes, including some important
22 ones so you should be sure to update.
23
24 Hylke: Finally MSNP15 support. To celebrate this I refreshed a lot of
25 the smilies used in the protocol and added the long awaited indispensable
26 bunny icon. I think this is one of those releases that will make a lot
27 of users happy, especially MSN users.
28
29 Elliott: Oh look, my first NEWS! Well anyway, with that new MSNP15
30 support, this release is set up to be a huge success and a total flop
31 all at the same time. Here's hoping it's the "huge success" one for you.
32 Those icon changes that Hylke made, while minor, really make things look
33 a little cleaner, I think. Oh yea, did I mention that MSNP15 stuff?
34
35 Mark: Speaking of MSNP15, we'd like to welcome Elliott Sales de Andrade
36 as a full fledged developer! He took the last few strides mushing the
37 new MSN code into shape. Then he decided that wasn't enough and started
38 doing other great stuff.
39
40 Ka-Hing: "Reject"ing a certificate after your account is signed off is
41 not recommended. Deleting the file after you start sending it is also
42 discouraged.

44 2.4.3 (07/01/2008):
45 Richard: This release includes important bug fixes. I'm just cutting
46 the release. Thank you to the real heroes who did the fixing!
