Well it's been a while, but we've finally released Pidgin 2.14.0. This is a

+Today [JFrog](https://jfrog.com) announced that they will be sunsetting
+Bintray. You can read the announcement

+Overall this doesn't affect us too much, but this does mean that we will be
+relying on [SourceForge](https://sourceforge.net) for our downloads going
+forward. Also, we have updated previous articles that were pointing to Bintray
+to mention this update.
+
+A few ideas have been thrown around like using [IPFS](https://ipfs.io/), but
+due to our current timelines we can't afford to spend a lot of time
+investigating and deploying new solutions. If you would like to help in this
+regard please contact us!
