 Pidgin and Finch: The Pimpin' Penguin IM Clients That're Good for the Soul
 
+Our development blog is available at: http://planet.pidgin.im
+
+2.5.2 (10/19/2008):
+	Ethan: After a bit of a struggle with our services, which put
+	this release off for an unfortunate length of time, we're
+	ready for another bugfix release for your bug-free(er?)
+	messaging pleasure.
+
+	Sadrul: Despite our best efforts, this release got delayed by a
+	couple of weeks. But here it is! It is mostly a bug fix release, with
+	a couple of important fixes, e.g. fix for the Yahoo! disconnect
+	problem. Also, welcome our newest Crazy Patch Writer, Marcus Lundblad,
+	who, among various other fixes, has implemented custom smileys for the
+	XMPP protocol, included in this release. Enjoy!
+
+	Stu: I guess this is the time of year for server migrations, and
+	I've just about had enough of them. Fortunately Pidgin is still fun,
+	and this release should be superb.
+
+	John: Although our services were down for quite some time, we didn't
+	lose any data, except perhaps some mail that would have failed to make
+	it to us.  Overall, the only major effect it had was to delay this
+	release far longer than we expected.  Hopefully the bugfixes make you
+	happy!
+
+	Elliott: This release took a while, but that was due to an unfortunate
+	server snafu. I didn't have much to do with it, but hopefully the new
+	servers will help us out a bit. Anyway, mostly bug-fixes this time.
+	Nothing spectacular, unless you happen to suffer from one of those bugs.
+	Oh, and don't forget, the "Has you" tooltip is back!

 2.5.1 (08/30/2008):
 	Kevin: This release is mainly a bug-fix release.  It solves a few
 	known crashes and updates some of our artwork.  Google's Summer of
