After way too many years the very first release of Pidgin 3.0, Experimental 1 has been released! You can read all about it over on our official Discourse post!! https://discourse.imfreedom.org/t/pidgin-3-0-experimental-1-has-been-released/227
You know what happens when you haven't released a piece of software in awhile? You have to nearly immediately release a bug fix version!
So without further ado, we've released Pidgin 2.90.1 to fix some bugs in Pidgin 3.0 Experimental 1 that was released yesterday.
This release fixes a crash when reconnect an IRC account that had a connection error and makes SASL PLAIN work properly.
You can read the full announcement here https://discourse.imfreedom.org/t/pidgin-2-90-1-has-been-released/228

Hey everyone, we just released version 0.13.0 of Ibis our #IRCv3 library that we've built for the #IRC support in @pidgin 3!
The big feature in this release is that we're parsing formatting and making it available to users of the library so they can display formatted messages. See the screen shot for what that looks like in Pidgin 3 experimental 2!!
You can find the official release announcement here! https://discourse.imfreedom.org/t/ibis-0-13-0-has-been-released
So @pidgin 3.0 Experimental 2 is due out on Monday and we realized we could probably sneaking message formatting in for #IRCv3 in the last few days.
This still needs some work, but check out the Pidgin 2 vs 3 handling of message formatting...
I thought we fixed the italics stuff in Pidgin 2 awhile, but apparently not.
Anyways this is all spec complaint per https://modern.ircdocs.horse/formatting
If you have any questions, comments, etc feel free!
