Hey there!

I have just uploaded an NMU for Pidgin which fixes a login issue
with MSN which occurred after Microsoft changed the application
ID that the client needs to send in order to be able to retrieve
the contact list.

The current version of Pidgin in Jessie no longer allows users to
sign on to MSN which makes the MSN part of Pidgin unusable. I have
therefore deemed this bug to be release-critical, tagged it as
such, made the NMU and am requesting an unblock now.

Please find the attached debdiff for the changes of my NMU.

Cheers,
Adrian

+Description: Update the MSN_APPLICATION_ID to fix MSN login issues
+ Microsoft recently updated the MSN_APPLICATION_ID that the client
+ sends to the server in order to identify its version. The old ID
+ used is the application ID of Windows Live Messenger 2008 (8.5)
+ which Microsoft apparently no longer supports. When the client
+ attempts to retrieve the contact list, the server will reject
+ the request. This patch fixes the issue by updating the
+ MSN_APPLICATION_ID sent by Pidgin.

Well, RCness is rather arguable, as it assumes that pidgin is at-least-mostly unusable / unreleaseable without MSN support, and I expect many users of other protocols would disagree. :-)
However, I'm prepared to accept that the bug could be considered as important severity, so have unblocked the package in any case.

Adam
