 Hi:

 I'm using XP. Before you say: That old thing!?? I plan to migrate soon.
 But I'm sure I'm not the only one still using XP.

As of Pidgin 2.10.10 the Authenticode signatures used for the Windows
builds use the SHA-256 algorithm which Windows XP doesn't support.
I've updated the documentation at
https://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/Are%20the%20packages%20signed#WindowsInstallers
based
on this.
You can still validate the packages using GPG.

  Hi:
 
  I just received notification through pidgin that a new version is

 is NOT valid! Has the server been compromised?


 What exactly do you mean by I noticed the the digital certificate is NOT
 valid?

 https://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/Are%20the%20packages%20signed#WindowsInstallers
 contains instructions for how to validate the signatures.


  Also, I tried signing up for an account on the pidgin.im website last
 week. And I never receved a confirmation email. But while my browser was
 still caching my signup info I could access my preferences etc.. I kept
 clicking resend confirmation email. But never received anything.
 
  Once I restarted, the site asked for my login which now does not work.
 When I try to reset the password I never receive the password reset email.
 But when I try to create another account, assuming it did not go through
 the first time, I am informed that an account for my email already exists.
 So I seem to be stuck in limbo. Is the pidgin.im website broken? What's
 going on?

 Check your spam mailbox.
 I can see that you created an account with this email address 6 days ago
 and that emails were sent successfully.

 
  Can anyone help me out here? My reason for wanting an account was to
 post a bug. There is no other contact info or way to get anyone's attention
 on the website. So I figured I would give the mailing list a try.
