**Notice for Windows users:** After releasing version 2.14.2 some users reached
out to us about having issues with the Windows installer for 2.14.2. We are
currently investigating the issue and expect to have a 2.14.3 release out soon
which fixes it.

A new minor version of Pidgin has been released, 2.14.2. Amongst other changes
we can highlight the fix for two issues related to pasting content with `<p>` or
`<hr>` HTML tags.

The complete changelog for this release is the following:

* Fix a build issue when compiling with gstreamer but without voice and video.

  pasting `<p>` elements from HTML. ({{% review 504 %}}) ({{% issue
  PIDGIN-17437 %}})
* Require Python 3 for generating the D-Bus bindings. ({{% review 550 %}})
* Fix an issue where pasting `<hr>`'s and other HTML elements would eventually
  lead to a crash. ({{% review 514 %}}) ({{% issue PIDGIN-17446 %}})
