Pidgin 2.4.3 released - Fixes ICQ issue

Great job to the Pidgin maintainers for a quick response to the ICQ issues reported yesterday.

Downloads for version 2.4.3 are available @ http://www.Pidgin.im

1.7.08

ICQ users left in the dark

As is being reported around the net 3rd party ICQ clients Pidgin and Kopete are are stuck ICQ-less until patches get merged into the systems. Pidgin is affected in the Linux and Windows world, fixes are available but to my knowledge these are only temporary or proposed and not anything official.

You have to love unannounced protocol changes! :)
