    The Pidgin ChangeLog link has been changed to this:
    [pidgin.im]

    Just a friendly heads up.

    I’ll be downloading pidgin 2.4.3 tonight, to see if they’ve fixed a bug which causes you to appear idle for hours on end, while you are actually at your computer.

    I’ve been considering downgrading to pidgin 2.4.1 (last version that this problem did not exist in) until that gets fixed.

    Huh, I just copied and pasted the changelog link from the homepage. They must have modified the link after that. I wonder why because the other page looks a little nicer since it is completely themed by the site.

    Yeah I remember that, it seems that thee whole developer subdomain at pidgin.im was down.

    Looks like that link is working again, the other ChangeLog link is placed on the homepage, and is in a purely textual format, so the Release Notification default Pidgin plugin can retrieve the data from that link to send to the user via a Pidgin window prompt.

    Anyways, I downloaded it last night, and it appears they fixed the idle time bug that appeared in version 2.4.2. :)
