I can't get the new authentication method to apply to 2.4.2, so I suggest that we backport 2.5.7 into hardy-backports. I have tested it and it works for me just fine. We already have a 2.5.x version in there and pidgin's API/ABI policy means that all plugins should continue to work (incompatible changes only allowed when minor revision is bumped). I checked a few plugins and this does indeed appear to be the case.
Please approve the backport. -- Yahoo server authentication changed: Pidgin =<2.5.6 will not connect to Yahoo! servers. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/389322 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
