Merging i.p.cpw.qulogic.msn to i.p.p

Tuesday, July 15th, 2008

For human beings this means: support for status messages and offline messages (MSNP15) in the next Pidgin release.

Thanks everyone who has been working on this!

Dear Hylke,

Thats very good news ! I have been running pidigin with msnp14(please note that I enabled/compiled the support) and works great so far.

My question would be if the MSNP15 will be available in the next release as a default behaviour or I will have to enable it just like MSNP14, thanks and keep up the good work!

Christian: I’m pretty sure it will be on by default, because it was always shipped as an option until now.

Hylke.

One question that yoy may help, I understand is still on testing, but yesterday I kept getting this message whilst trying to connect to msn using protocol 14/15:

MSN connection error: Unable to retrieve MSN Address Book

its also been posted on: http://pidgin.im/pipermail/support/2008-July/001742.html

It seems to me some change in the server side (probably some protocol change?)

Thanks!

Christian
