#15955: Finch no longer connects to ICQ --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Reporter: xoagray@gmail.com | Owner: macports-tickets@lists.macosforge.org Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Port Bugs Component: ports | Version: 1.6.0 Resolution: | Keywords: Finch ICQ --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Comment (by xoagray@gmail.com): Found this on the Pidgin website, thought it would be a good idea to post here. Suddenly we started seeing reports about ICQ no longer working in #pidgin. Upon investigation we discovered that apparently the client ID has been "retired", and any logins from that client ID are immediately met with a message from the server demanding an upgrade to ICQ6. The server then forcibly disconnects us. We catch this error and display a somewhat different message instructing our users to go to pidgin.im to get an update. Stu Tomlinson found the version identification information for the most current official ICQ client and changed our identification. Magically logging in and holding a conversation works. This patch became the reason for the release of Pidgin 2.4.3. Thank you -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/15955#comment:1> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
