Description DEMAINE Benoît-Pierre, aka DoubleHP 2009-03-10 07:02:58 UTC 
Some protocols in the actual gentoo-stable 2.5.4 are deprecated or outdated. Users of stable x86 want 2.5.5 ASAP.

(I know it's not 30d yet).

There is also the need for amd64. It seems to be stable. It's also mentioned on http://www.mygnu.de/index.php/2009/03/pidgin-client-too-old/

I had problems with ICQ and followed the advice on http://pidgin.im/ ("ICQ is reporting errors in some locations which are generally fixed by upgrading to 2.5.5." - The error for me was, that I logged in to often and should wait for 10 minutes, but I didn't connect for the whole day).

After updating to 2.5.5, everything worked again as expected. So this issue was fixed for me by 2.5.5. Except, that one time it eat all my processor power (CPU @ 100%, but everything including pidgin were responsive and after a restart of pidgin, everything was fine again), I have no problems with net-im/pidgin-2.5.5 (amd64).
