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

Hi Robert, Libyahoo2 handles the protocol layer. Libyahoo2 maintainer could not 
actively
maintain the project since he joined Yahoo. Please check their mailing list
http://libyahoo2.sourceforge.net/

I have personally moved to XMPP (jabber) protocol. Check out GNU Freetalk, it 
is a clone
of Freehoo for jabber protocol. It works for Google Talk as well.
