This is great news. Thanks for the update, John.

I'm not an MSN user... so I need to gather some experiences and  
opinions from you, dear readers.  Are the recent MSNp15 builds from  
Dimmux  better, worse, or the same in terms of MSN functionality than  
recent Adium 1.3 betas using msn-pecan?  Medium to long term, I  
definitely want us following im.pidgin.pidgin's lead, but for the 1.3  
release I could go either way.

I've built with msnp15 to do some basic checking.  Normal connectivity  
seems to work well, but connecting via HTTP hangs at Retrieving Buddy  
List (100%).  Relevant ticket: http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/6316

Cheers,
Evan
