gaimがpidginに改名

オープンソースのIMソフトであるgaimがAOLとの係争解決のためpidginに改名した。これに伴いlibgaimやgaim-textなどの派生物はそれぞれlibpurpleとfinchと名を変えた。新しいウェブサイトはwww.pidgin.imとなり、ニューバージョンのpidgin2.0.0は今週中にもリリースの予定。

Gaim, the ubiquitous open source instant messaging program, in order to settle a lawsuit with America Online, was renamed "Pidgin" last week. The derivative projects, libgaim and gaim-text will be renamed libpurple and Finch respectively. The new website is at pigdin.im, but it's currently pointing to the Gaim sourceforge site. Pidgin 2.0.0, in development for well over a year, is expected this week.
