Yahoo Restored in Some IM Clients

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Tuesday September 30, 2003 @03:01AM from the breathe-freely dept.

Sparks23 writes "Third-party instant messaging clients have begun to reconnect to Yahoo. While the authorization scheme has not been completely decoded -- expect some bumps -- Gaim and Trillian have both partially restored connectivity. Gaim has the new authorization scheme in CVS and their new 0.70 release, and Cerulean has made a beta patch available for Trillian Pro 2.0; consider both patches 'beta' for the moment."

Trillian people didn't make this patch available in their free version, but they did give it to GAIM developers. Weird, no?
Sounds like they are just using GAIM and its community, which probablly includes more sw developers than Trillian has behind it, to do some QAing and bug fixing for Trillian.
