Yesterday many of you may notice some crashes or slow in Pidgin because of #mbpurple. The real problem is ID overflow :) The data structure is unsigned long long but the function we called was int. I fixed by swap lines as a workaround during @somsak was not there. Anyway, it introduced side-effect so that /replies did not work anymore. Finally, @somsak fixed it by replacing int to ull.

Mitter 0.4.5 has been released for a while but I just have time to make the deb package at PPA. Please follow instruction to install if this is your first time to try.

I know you have been waiting for next official version of #mbpurple or #mbpidgin or microblog-purple or pidgin-microblog. Sorry, this software has so many names. We call it purple because you can use it in finch, text-based multi-protocol instant messaging client based on Pidgin aka Pidgin command-line. Today @somsak decided to release microblog-purple 0.2.1 after added lots of features and fixed many bugs.

Last night @somsak released microblog-purple 0.2.0 aka #mbpurple. I built it for Intrepid on PPA suddenly. Tonight I would like to announce the mbpurple 0.2.0 for both Hardy and Intrepid.
