Pidgin Portable 2.1.0 ReleasedSubmitted by John T. Haller on August 13, 2007 - 12:14pm
FeaturesPidgin Portable is a multi-protocol instant messaging client that works with AOL Instant Messenger, ICQ, MSN Messenger, Yahoo! and more. You can log into multiple networks all with the same program. All your IM settings and buddy lists are self-contained, so it leaves no personal information behind on the machine you run it on. Learn more about Pidgin... Encryption: Pidgin-Encryption and Pidgin-OTRAdding encryption to Pidgin Portable is easy with the provided PortableApps.com Installers. Portable packages of Pidgin-Ecnrypt and Pidgin-OTR are both available from the Pidgin Portable homepage. They'll automatically install to Pidgin Portable for you. Windows 98/ME SupportA legacy GTK installer has been provided so that users of older Windows operating systems can still use Pidgin. Once installed, both the legacy 2.6.10 GTK release and the newer 2.11 GTK release will be installed on your device. The Pidgin Portable launcher will automatically select the appropriate one for the operating system you are running on. PortableApps.com Installer / PortableApps.com FormatPidgin Portable is packaged in a PortableApps.com Installer so it will automatically detect an existing PortableApps.com installation when your drive is plugged in. It will automatically import your settings from an existing Gaim Portable installation installed to the same location (they're usually both in your PortableApps directory). And it's in PortableApps.com Format, so it automatically works with the PortableApps.com Suite including the Menu and Backup Utility. New In This Release

This release updates the included Pidgin binaries to 2.1.0 fixing numerous bugs. The launcher has been updated to Pidgin's names, branding and file layouts. The ability to use a legacy GTK has been added. The installer has been updated to automatically import Gaim Portable settings. The launcher now supports using a GTK instance in the PortableApps\CommonFiles\GTK location, so you can use the same GTK with multiple portable apps.

German page ...
... You'll find here: http://portableapps.com/de/apps/internet/pidgin_portable
There is a package of the multilang version with localized German Installer, Launcher and help.html.
The default install is with de locales, other locales are optional like the en version.

Cool
I newer used anything like Gaim or Pidgin before but it works great with our IRC and leaves nothing behind.

Buddy Icon moved?
Hi all,
first of all, since this is my first comment ever: GREAT work doing what you do, keep it up!
second: I used pidgin beta before, which had the buddy icon in conversation on the left of the typing field. Now it is (very small) in the upper right corner of my conversation window. I was wondering if this is due to a change in pidgin itself, or is it something I can modify?
best regards,
Mark
