Having done MSN, Yahoo, and Jabber, those two (which had already compiled in an UNIX-y way when I was working with gaim previously) were just staring me down, with beautiful green eyes… and I just couldn’t say no.

The MSN HTML problem is fixed now – good catch, eevyl. [edit]We’re just stripping font information for the present; Colin’s going to make it right for real.[/edit] Yahoo display issues are better, too. Jabber doesn’t work because it apparently violates as a matter of course something which was indicative of a problem in AIM… probably won’t be too hard to fix.

MSN and Yahoo both require confirmation when someone adds you to their contact list… you’ll see a “adiumGaimRequestAction” in your console log, but Adium doesn’t know how to handle it yet. Sign in with an official client and you can respond to the request.

I’m going to be mostly gone for a couple days… New Year’s celebrations, post-New Year’s celebrations, and recovery. Watch out for that nasty Y2K4 bug which is going to shake the OS X community…

Gadu-Gadu? Napster? Do we really need, these, Evan?

On a much brighter note, Evan didn’t import the IRC plugin from gaim for a reason…

That’s supposed to be an Evil looking ASCII-art. Really. It is. I swear.

If adium crashes and you get the crash reporter, it might be helpful to include a list of what type of accounts you are connecting with. An example:

2 yahoo libgaim

1 msn libgaim

2 aim libgaim

1 icq toc2

This will help in troubleshooting protocol specific problems.

Jabber doesn’t work right now. I’d recommend waiting on it. This is all.

Waiting is the greatest virtue! (well, more exactly patience, whatever)

So it’s great all those protocols are now working, but we need to have some patience until they are fully implemented.

One note, if you use a MSN account with today’s binary, take note that your MSN friends will receive a HTML styled message… they might complain!

Waiting is what?!!!!

While rocking out and jazzing out for 4 hours in the car, I coded. And in coding, I brought you:

MSN

Yahoo

Gadu-Gadu

Napster

Jabber

Enjoy. 🙂 Be patient with protocol-specific features… waiting is.

Those crashes were about 90% of the crash logs we’ve been receiving (thanks for all your detailed how-to-reproduce logs! They help a ton), so I’ve gone ahead and posted a second binary for today… It’s up now, ready and waiting for your Adium enjoyment.

Let me rephrase, crash reporter is awesome! 😀

I believe I’ve fixed the two most popular crashes I’m seeing. The first involves connecting multiple accounts at once (either by the connect all menu item, or at launch with multiple auto-connecting accounts). The second involves opening and closing the account preferences, and then experiencing a crash on a contact or account status change.

Both of these should be fixed in tomorrow’s binary. If not, keep the logs coming.

Crash reporter is great, keep the logs coming 🙂

If you’re getting crashes, make sure you’re in the newest release.
