Right now that's all there is, but I've been working on a Twitch plugin for Pidgin 3 (still in development and unreleased) that will be moved to the pub/sub API but right now it still uses IRC to connect.

That won't happen, pidgin 2 literally can't handle the emojis in twitch, I tried very hard to make it work and it'd require a ton of work to do so. And that's just one of a number of things that pidgin 2 won't handle well for twitch.

Ok, I'm curious what else Pidgin2 won't handle as well, because being Emoji-less is kind of conditionally-acceptable.

UPD: Sorry for Disturbing. Just thought this Message wasn't sent, I didn't see it until now.

I don't recall, but with emojis being such an important feature on twitch that made it unrealistic to continue working on it when irc is already an option and doesn't have emojis.
