Jaunty should ship Empathy 2.26.0.1

[Guillaume Desmottes]

Binary package hint: empathy

We just released Empathy 2.26.0.1 [1] which fix lot of bugs (most than in the release mails actually), a videoconf bug and a nasty issue in the file transfer. We didn't want to wait for the 2.26.1 release.

Jaunty should really consider to upgrade to this version.

Currently video chat is completely broken, and this patch fixes this. It therefore seems sufficiently important to include.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package empathy - 2.26.0.1-0ubuntu1

---------------
empathy (2.26.0.1-0ubuntu1) jaunty; urgency=low

  * New upstream release (LP: #351884)

File transfer is not implemented in MSN yet.

You can enable jabber file transfer by upgrading telepathy-gabble from our PPA. See http://cass.no-ip.com/~cassidy/blog/index.php/post/2009/04/14/Telepathy-Jaunty-PPA-open-for-business for details.

Thank you Guillaume. I try Empathy in Ubuntu (defults ubuntu im client is pidgin but i don't use it. Insread i always have used psi also in Windows but with new jaunty psi is a little problematic(notification problems) almost right now) because i see (i'm newbie) that is the Gnome official im client.

I find that Empathy is a clear-simple (from users point of view) client. That's good but maybe still now is too simple: i mean for example with psi i can browse jabber-server services subscribe in transports ecc. Empathy (AIK) permit only to add in rooms.

Anyway i thing is i time only problem for Empathy so take it high ;-)
Greetings

PS: If i'm not wrong multiprotocol support in Empathy is based on pidgin right? If so what not embrace XMPP multiprotocol philosophy? Now that times is hard economy also from a programmer point of view is worthwhile :-)
