I honestly thought the project was totally dead

It probably was dead if they are only on experimental 3.0 by now.

That sure takes me back. Pidgin's logging defaults are the reason I still have all my AIM chats from 2002 - 2010.

I'm mildly interested to test it once their from scratch reimplementation of the XMPP backend works. Maybe I can then finally stop screaming at people that still use Pidgin as an xmpp client despite it being at least 15 years out of date.

Personally, I'm looking forward for our to stabilize to try working on Matrix protocol support.

So... back when I used Pidgin, I aggregated AIM, YahooIM, GoogleTalk, and Pre-MS Skype. What is the use case today?

Aggregating Matrix, xmpp, irc, and telegram could work for me. But I'd rather did this on my private matrix instance now though.

tbh GTK2 feels superior to GTK4, though I'm glad it's still being developed.
