Pidgin 2.5.7 fixes Yahoo problems

Yahoo recently announced that they were disabled support for older versions of Yahoo Messengers.

This resulted in broken functionality in third party messenger products like Pidgin.

The Pidgin developers have responded by releasing an updated version of their Pidgin client.

Pidgin 2.5.7 is now available as a free download and it comes with the fix for Yahoo Messenger protocol.

Changelog:

Yahoo Protocol 16 support, including new HTTPS login method; this should fix a number of login problems that have recently cropped up. (Sulabh Mahajan, Mike “Maiku” Ruprecht)
Only display the AIM “Unable to Retrieve Buddy List” message once per connection. (Rob Taft)
Blocking MSN users not on your buddy list no longer disconnects you.
When performing operations on MSN, assume users are on the MSN/Passport network if we don’t get network ID’s for them.

    Well, I had problem with Pidgin and YM before and still have after the new Pidgin release, so they didn’t really fix anything…

    Yep – the new Pidgin did not solve for me ( maybe he load the old setting and configurations ) – but with the manual method ( cn.scs.msg.yahoo.com ) it works
