Yahoo Restored in Some IM Clients

Posted by ryuzaki0 on 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."

    Well, the funny thing with capitalism is that if you want genuine competition between companies, you're going to have to accept some overhead (eg. multiple design teams working completely independantly on the same problem, consumers having to spend extra time to intelligently choose their prefered supplier).

    That is, the moment a closed-source multi-network IM client is released, slashdot is going to scream bloody murder about the anti-competitive opportunities, especially if the client is released by Microsoft.

    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.
