Unfortuntely not. My understanding is that anything above 2000 will not work
unless you uncheck that magic box but even so it doesn't mean that the windows
client will speak anything v7 to you.
First things first: even some stuff with the server are not complete for v8
so I think that it's good to put that as a priority as what the V8_BRANCH
is doing now.
I like to receive experiences on what works and doesn't work (similar to the
case when the kde2 pre snapshots were provided in the kde1 days). I haven't
been receiving too many positive / negative reports apart from you and Stefan,
but what happens to the cooker branch of Licq will largely depend on these
experiements I am conducting right now.
