This will be updated when we base our JDS on newer build which
includes a newer version of libpurple, it will definetly not be
updated for oi_148 since it has already been built.

The JDS consolidation is based on pkgtool, so if you want to
build your own updated package for oi_147 in the meantime, follow
the instructions at http://wiki.openindiana.org/oi/Building+JDS
For oi_147 the spec-files repo needs to be at tag NEVADA_147 and
the mq_spec-files needs to be switched to branch oi_147a. After
applying the mq patch queue you'd modify and build
SUNWgnome-im-client.spec and not all specs as stated in the
instructions.
