The changes for 2.14.1 are small but important. There were some issues with the Windows installer that made it impossible to install 2.14.0 and the Mercurial revision in the About box was displaying “unknown”.
Thank you for the hint, but I admit that having followed up the 2.14.0 & 2.14.1 announcements, there is little to justify updating this for Mageia 7. I imagine we should have it for the emerging Mageia 8, to be nominally up-to-date. They talk of a future Pidgin 3. The SRPM has various maintainers, so assigning globally; CC'ing Shlomi as the registered person.
Source RPM: pidgin => pidgin-2.13.0-4.mga7.src.rpmCC: (none) => shlomifAssignee: bugsquad => pkg-bugs

This would be a backport of course. 2.14.0 announcement: https://pidgin.im/posts/2020-06-2.14.0-released/
Hi, Thanks for requesting a backport to Mageia 7 for packages updated in Cauldron. According to our current backports policy: https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Backports_policy - Package maintainers are under no obligation to provide backports for the packages they maintain (whereas a maintainer should provide updates to the stable releases for packages he/she maintains). - Another packager can step in and provide backports provided he contacts maintainer about this. He must then keep the maintainer informed when working on it. - The maintainer can refuse that some packages be backported. If hard conflicts arise (eg. the maintainer vs all other packagers), we can refer to the council. - Packager (maintainer or not) who will submit backport will also have to provide security and bug updates if necessary. Packager/Maintainer: If you are working on this backport request, please change status to "Assigned". Feel free to Close this if you think it is against current Backports policy. Reporter: Your request is under investigations. In the meantime, we suggest look for Appimage or Flatpak version of this.
available in backports_testing. just the console app is missing for the moment. I will see in a second step to fix this ( but this won't prevent tests :) )

Validating. Assuming the "second step" in Comment 4 involves a second backport. If that is in error, please remove the validation.
