 > I did not, but I just checked and I don't see a checkbox anywhere in my
 account settings. Applying the patch went well, along with make. I did
 verify that 2.10.6 is running vs the version in Ubuntu 2.10.3. Any other
 ideas?

 You need to make sure you uninstall the Ubuntu-installed version, as well.

 > Congratulations on passing this through as a silent update. It seems big
 enough to mention on the front page, even if it does only use plain
 authentication.

 First off, it's not a mtter of "even if it does only use plain
 authentication".  Pidgin is fully capable of using any authentication
 method available to SASL.  The limitation is on the IRC server side.

 Second, this has not been shipped in any release.  When 2.10.7 is
 released, the ChangeLog will certainly mention this feature.  It may or
 may not make the announcement on the front page of pidgin.im, it's not
 really that big a deal.
