Hi All,
We have just released version 2.0.0 of the MXit Pidgin plugin.
This release includes some minor bug fixes as well as:
- Avatar support – This will let you set an image of yourself which your friends will see.
- Status messages – Ability to tell all your friends what you are currently doing, and to see what they are doing.
So download it now and give it a try!
Happy Chatting!

Will this be seen by users using the phone client?
Not yet, but soon. The next release of the mobile client will also have these features.
Will you compile it for 64bit Debian/Ubuntu plz? I’m having trouble installing it on my 64bit pc. It works like a charm on 32bit
Thank you so muck for this.
looking forward to the Adium plugin!
