Pidgin Portable 2.7.1 Rev 2 has been released. Pidgin Portable is a versatile instant messaging client packaged as a portable app, so you can take your IM settings and buddy lists with you. It has all the same great features as Pidgin, including support for AOL, Yahoo, MSN, ICQ and Jabber networks, but there's nothing to install on the local PC. This new release fixes a minor language switching bug and adds unofficial theming support. It's packaged in PortableApps.com Format so it can easily integrate with the PortableApps.com Suite. And it's open source and completely free.

Clarification
If we're using the previous revision of 2.7.1. is there any need for us to upgrade to this revision if we don't need language switching or theming support?
not sure but
the issure was with all variables so it might be a good idea to upgrade. I personally didnt have any issues with the old version so it wasnt too bad.
