[Freehoo-devel] Yahoo login failed, "older version ... no longer supported"

[Robert Dodier]

Hello,

I'm running Freehoo 3.5.3 on Linux. When I tried to run it
for the first time, it reported a message from Yahoo,
"You are using an older version of Yahoo! Messenger that
is no longer supported" and then terminated.

I guess the Yahoo Messenger protocol has been changed
since Freehoo 3.5.3 was released. What would it take to
update Freehoo? I am comfortable with programming various
kinds of protocols so if the changes aren't too great, I might
be able to do it (and I'd be glad to submit patches accordingly).

Thanks for any info. Thanks also for making Freehoo
available, it seems like a great project.

best

Robert Dodier
