kopete & ICQ

Thu Jan 22, 2009 6:28 am
AOL & rambler.ru(I think) have disabled old protocols... (at least in Russian segment). So ICQ don't work...

Is there any fork in SVN with new protocol support ?

The version you are using is not supported by ICQ. Download a free authorized ICQ version from ICQ's official website.

I do not believe there currently is. If you wish to file a feature request for this issue, it would be recommended to try and find some documentation about the updated protocol if available ( other IM clients such as Pidgin might have this )

This is not the first time AOL folks do the trick. So the best solution is to consider to move to free jabber service at Google or at some other free service of thousands available.
Ask your friends to move away from ICQ and you'll never face such situation again.

I did it the first day, but ICQ is still necessary :-@

:lightbulb: As far as I know, jimm(Java) have already implemented new ICQ protocol.
Maybe they even have a document ;-)

The fix is in SVN since couple of days, http://websvn.kde.org/?view=rev&revision=916555. You can compile Kopete from SVN or ask your distribution to add the patch (it was backported to KDE 4.2.1 and 4.1.x)
