Pidgin 2.6.5 released

[Paul Aurich]

Pidgin 2.6.5 is released (though not yet listed as such at pidgin.im).  As mentioned previously, this release provides a fix for CVE-2010-013 (MSN arbitrary file upload), along with a number of build fixes and crash bugs.

Source tarballs (as well as RPMs and Windows builds) can be found on sourceforge, but here are some direct links:

bz2.asc: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/pidgin/Pidgin/2.6.5/pidgin-2.6.5.tar.bz2.asc

There is one known problem which is that Finch fails to build on older/non-GCC systems.  Commit 6a5f94151ae9c9afbba73e905edb55cd64f6b3ea (found at http://d.pidgin.im/viewmtn/revision/info/6a5f94151ae9c9afbba73e905edb55cd64f6b3ea) should fix those issues (it reorders the include files so that internal.h is always first).

Cheers,
