 verify that 2.10.6 is running vs the version in Ubuntu 2.10.3. Any other
 ideas?

 authentication".  Pidgin is fully capable of using any authentication
 method available to SASL.  The limitation is on the IRC server side.

 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.

 Thanks Elb. I will try that. Is there a very rough timeline when 2.10.7
 will be released? Like 2 months, 1 year?
