Maybe THIS version will have a fix for the problem where it doesn't show buddy status when connecting to Sametime 7.5 servers. I won't get my hopes up though. Installing now.

[Rablet]

No PSM for MSN yet, which should (afaik) have been in this version :(

I haven't seen that bug. Working fine for me.

[Rappy Veteran]

Has aanyone noticed how slow it goes when sending from MSN to MSN have they improved that?

[JiveMasterT]

I haven't seen that bug. Working fine for me.

Then your enterprise is not using the Sametime 7.5 server.

http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/58 is the bug listed under pidgin's bug tracker. There is one under sourceforge's bug trackers for both meanwhile AND pidgin's sourceforge page. This is such a show stopper for some people so I don't understand why the developers haven't looked at it more closely.

For me, yes, it is still an issue.

Things I noticed... there is a new mail notification bar. Kinda nice. The app also uses your PC speaker when you backspace too far which is extremely annoying and I hope they kill that in the next release.

damnit >_< they really need to hurry up with the whole MSNP14 integration... it first was on the roadmap for 2.2.1, then pushed to 2.2.2 which was delayed according to the roadmap, now it's finally out and still no msnp14 =.=

[rlepage]

For all I know, 2.2.2 supports the DISPLAY of remote PSMs. Setting those is another story.

[Xenomorph]

Two big things I want:

- Default to paste as Plain Text unless I choose to paste with formatting.

- SEND BUTTON.

[exotoxic]

I would us this if they got away from the GTK UI

Hmm, I just double checked and I am running v7.5 server. All my contacts status appear fine to me...

I can't see any on MSN running pidgin 2.2.2 at least.

Just curious, why does a send button matter?

[JiveMasterT]

If you're signed in and their status changes then you'll get the changes... but when you first sign in it doesn't get EVERYONE's statuses. This is most obvious when you have a public group from the corporate directory on your buddy list - usually like the first person on the list will report the proper status while the rest don't even show up.

[BoDEAN]

Any idea how to make pidgin minimize to system tray, not the task bar?

Using Vista.

[Toology]

Close the buddy list window instead of minimizing it. It won't sign you off or close the program.
