We are ecstatic to announce that we have released the first experimental version of Pidgin 3.0!!! This is a pre alpha release with an official version number of 2.90.0. We will continue releasing in this fashion until we are ready for 3.0.0 which will be the release we consider ready for end users. The release can be found on SourceForge. Update: Well it wouldn’t be the first release in a long time without a nearly immediate update… It turns out that we missed some bugs that affected new user...
  • GTK4, Adwaita
  • Complete code base overall
  • Finch is removed
  • All protocols are removed (in the works from scratch)

P.S.: how it is still on SourceForge?😱

    I’m mildly interested to test it once their from scratch reimplementation of the XMPP backend works. Maybe I can then finally stop screaming at people that still use Pidgin as an xmpp client despite it being at least 15 years out of date.
