GAIM Goes Bye-Bye
Posted by Michael Larabel on April 07, 2007
GAIM, or GTK+ AOL Instant Messenger, is no more! The GAIM project has been renamed from GAIM to Pidgin. No, this is not an April Fool's Day Joke, but it has really happened. GAIM had been secretly under fire by AOL for "GAIM" and this has also prevented them from releasing a final version of GAIM 2.0. GAIM has also moved away from SourceForge, but with the legal issues now out of the way we can expect Pidgin (GAIM) 2.0.0 next week! More information is available at the Pidgin website. Farewell GAIM!
