    +After releasing Pidgin 2.14.2 some of our users which run Pidgin on Windows
    +reached out to us about them having issues with the installer. This release
    +takes care of this issue that affected Windows builds of Pidgin.
    +
    +Also, this release removes the AIM protocol plugin. This is certainly an
    +interesting change considering that the Pidgin project started as a chat client
    +for AIM, yet it's important to remember that AIM was shutdown in December 2017
    +so this removal was long overdue.
    +
    +The complete changelog for this release is the following:
    +
    +libpurple:
    +
    +* Removed the AIM protocol plugin. AIM has been shut down since December 15th
    + of 2017. We left it around because of a third party server, but our plugin no
    + longer works with it. ({{% review 598 %}}) (Gary Kramlich)
    +
    +Windows:
    +
    +* Standardize on wprintf in pidgin/win32/winpidgin.c ({{% review 593 %}}) (Gary Kramlich)
    +* Use the inetc nsis plugin that supports https ({{% review 593 %}}, {{% review
    + 594 %}}) ({{% issue PIDGIN-17511 %}}) (Gary Kramlich)
    +* If building under msys2 copy libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll and libwinpthread to the
    + install directory. ({{% review 593 %}}) ({{% issue PIDGIN-17511 %}}) (Gary
    + Kramlich)
    +
    +You can find 2.14.3 on
    +[SourceForge](https://sourceforge.net/projects/pidgin/files/Pidgin/2.14.3/).
    +
    +We hope everyone enjoys this release and the fixes it brings. Remember that if
    +you have any questions or comments we have a [variety of channels]({{< ref
    +"about/community" >}}) where you can reach out to us.
