So I go to http://gaim.sf.net to download Gaim (as I do from OptusNet on occasion as a Speed-Test) and its now changed:

http://www.pidgin.im

Gaim is now Pidgin
We've got a new name, a new look, and a ton of new features, but we're still the same old instant messaging client you know and love. We've changed our name as part of a trademark settlement with AOL, and have finally released our long-awaited version 2.0.0. Read all about it on the News page.

New site looks nice too :)

Still not sure what the ton new features are since gaim-2.0-beta6
I wonder if its in Ubuntu's Apt repositories yet :D

A quick peek at Pidgin shows a few decor changes ;)
