Did connecting to the AIM via the new protocol work in previous versions of Gaim? I don't think it did. These issues are identical. Someone made a change on some server you potentially have no control over, and you need a newer client to access it. It doesn't matter whether the server in question is in your corporate server room, or on some other network, the issue remains the same. An upgrade of AIM's server software is the same issue as an upgrade of the server software on a corporate file server. > >>No. Because they are feature enhancements. > > When something stops working, and then starts working again, it's > called a bug fix.

Oh, so the decision on whether there should be an official update is base on whether it affects Rob. I guess the fact that I have been helping users to access Windows2003 servers for the past 3 months with builds of samba3 has no bearing then? I guess the fact that we couldn't serve Windows 2000 clients without an unofficial update for samba for 6 months on Mandrake 7.1 has no bearing? I see you haven't bothered to file a bug. So, I guess it's not that important to you ...
