While the headline of this article is a little misleading (Messenger still works in Windows 10), I believe this is the heart of the recent problems with purple-facebook. Until purple-facebook supports the new messenger protocol it will not work at all because facebook discontinued the old one.

Can confirm I've seen this today in Pidgin 2.12.0 and purple-facebook-20161121::jorgicio (Gentoo overlay):

Null value for $.viewer.message_threads.sync_sequence_id

I also had this problem.The problem is fixed in the version uploaded to Git today (3cbb433)

Any idea when the ppa will be updated?
