Pidgin 2.6.4

The other day version 2.6.4 of Pidgin, a multi-protocol client for instant messaging networks, was released.

Despite the "minority" of the release, it contains a number of important improvements both in shells (Pidgin and Finch) and in the core (libpurple):

• implemented the function "hold" in the window of audio / video-communication;
• MXit protocol added;
• a theme editor for icons and emoticons;
• Fixed receiving offline ICQ messages - the function did not work from version 2.6.3. Do not be surprised if after the update you will immediately receive all your offline messages in a week;

many other important changes.
The settings dialog has also been seriously reworked:

• The “tabs” are now on the left side;
• GNOME uses native proxy and browser default settings;
• sound and graphic themes are now combined into one tab "Themes".
