    Thanks! That would be me doing them. The ones with the Pidgin logo always attract attention. So I give a lot of credit to Pidgin for creating such an awesome logo.

    Has a release date (even a vague one) been announced for the RC? I know that it has been leaked, but there has been no official word as to whether that will be the real RC that is given to testers and when it will come.

    I think putting the graphic together is the highlight of his day! :)

  5. I thought that leaked one was the RC

    It is supposed to be the RC, but until Microsoft says that it is I wouldn’t be surprised to see it get updated further. To the best of my knowledge it is branded as an RC, but that’s like Mozilla branding a nightly build as a Beta before the Beta is actually released.
