Added Pidgin-Encryption and OTR since people are always asking about them

Third-Party Plugins

This page is intended for plugin developers to use to make their plugins more visible to users. We do not provide hosting for plugins, as we simply do not have the resources to do so. We do, however, encourage anyone hosting their own plugins to add a row to the table below!

Note that we do not support any of these plugins. If you have problems with the plugins, you need to contact the plugin's developer using any resources available on the plugin's website. Any and all tickets citing bugs in third-party plugins will be closed as invalid, as we do not develop or support these plugins. You have been warned.

So, all that said, here is the table of plugins:

Plugin Name Website Short Description
Guifications Go Provides "toaster" popup notifications.
Purple Plugin Pack Go Provides over 30 plugins for Pidgin, Finch, and libpurple.
Extended Preferences Go Provides some additional, often-requested preferences for Pidgin.
Pidgin-Encryption Go Transparently encrypts your instant messages with RSA encryption.
Off-the-Record Messaging Go Allows you to have private conversations over instant messaging.

Protocol Plugins

XFire Go Yes Yes 2.0beta3
Battle.net Go Yes Win32 1.1.x
SNPP Go Yes Win32 1.x.x

Note that additional plugins are still hosted on our old Sourceforge Tracker. Some of these plugins may be updated to work with Pidgin, and some still may be for older versions.
