Voice! Video!

Yes, that's right ladies and gentlemen.

PIDGIN NOW HAS VOICE AND VIDEO CHAT SUPPORT!

I doubt much explanation is needed here. Video and voice chat has probably been the most requested Pidgin feature over the past five years.

Many thanks to Maiku, our Summer of Code student from 2008 who tirelessly spent many hours implementing this. This was a huge undertaking. Maiku has told me he will accept compensation in the form of pizzas.

We expect this functionality will be released sometime this month. Stay tuned.
