Pidgin2.5 release, support for MSN offline messages and multiple improvements

Pidgin2.5 release, support for MSN offline messages and multiple improvements-Linux general technology-Linux technology and application information. The following is a detailed description. I changed to the Linux distribution version of Ubuntu for work and personal use. I have been quite dependent on the IM tool Pidgin, which can be said to be one of the most commonly used cross-platform software.

Although it is a very useful integrated IM software, it can support AIM, MSN, Yahoo! XMPP, ICQ, IRC, SILC, SIP/SIMPLE, Novell GroupWise, Lotus Sametime, Bonjour, Zephyr, Gadu-Gadu, SILC, SIMPLE, and QQ among other IM types are simultaneously in the same software windows, multi-person messages can still be paged, with a bunch of advantages, but I think it is quite cold to support its msn/wlm.

Sending messages to colleagues using Pidgin usually takes a few seconds to send messages to the other's computer, and transferring files will be slower than Microsoft's official msn/wlm program, occasionally, an error message is sent. But the advantage is that it is not affected by the Windows msn virus, and Pidgin is full of security.

Pidgin officially updated Pidgin to version 2.5. The biggest advantage is that it upgraded the Communication Protocol api used by msn to MSNP15 (previously, Pidgin was MSNP10), making msn functions more stable and complete, however, it is still not as easy to use as Microsoft's MSN software, but it is very comforting to use it on other platforms such as Linux and add a variety of IM integration functions.

This update of Pidgin 2.5 not only customizes all emojis supporting IM, but also displays personal messages supporting MSN (you can see the setting of personal messages for multiple lines) and the offline message of MSN (moved and finally appeared). As for QQ, which is commonly used by Chinese netizens, it was also corrected to transmit files and display the list, it can also be integrated with the contact list of the email software Evolution to add nss ssl support for SSL authentication.
