ALBABE  New version 3.0 beta 4 (178870) is available as of 6-5-09  
(Version 3.0b4.156957)

BRENTB  New version out that fixes the crashing after updating to 10.5.7.

BOUSOZOKU  Beta 4 = year 4 of the version 3 beta. I realise that it's only 2009 but could you please finish it before this computer is no longer functional?

I was given a Windows machine and Yahoo! Messenger has had 3 versions (7, 8, and 9) since I got the machine in 2006. Sad to say, but I've tried the Linux version and it's worse off than the Mac OS X version.

Any hopes for a finished release in 2009?

CLAUCLAU  It would have been easier and quicker for Yahoo to co operate with Apple way before than Google, as Yahoo has valuable designers and services are intuitive and unified all over what they acquire.

But when it comes to Mac, here comes the problems:

-slow application,

-Cpu hungry

-when disconnected/connected HUD appears all the time,

-no file transfer on msn users,

-nor avatars,

-sometimes I write to yahoo users and they also don't get the messages as well.

-Big MSN incompatibility warning shows up ahead every time message session begins.

-No Multilanguage support: I even proposed to translate it, can't care less. World is flat and starts from NYC and ends to LA as usual.

-No video Multi chat support like iChat.

-no screensharing

-no avatar drag and drop (must go to preferences)

-no multi avatar window pops up

That's all for now folks.

MAX72118  Do not download this version!!! Stick with what you've got. This one is the devil's baby. I'm running MacOS 10.5.4 and this version does not work.

CASTLE ROSE  WOW, This really is a fix to the issues with v3b3 (98855)

Stealth Settings works again, Yahoo!

Sending files with non-alphanumeric characters in the name works again. Yahoo!

The problems with video chat freezing are still there but that's most-likely a problem with the Y! servers.

I don't have any memory issues on my old PB G4.

Even with a video chat it varies between 15% and 25% CPU. That's not bad. Maybe Intel code is different.

If you have found that the last 2 previous updates broke more than they fixed, THIS is the update for you.

DARTH BROOKS  Still sucks up all available CPU. Unusable as is.  
(Version 3.0b3.120437)

ALBABE  I've been using this with 10.4.11 for a while... no probs... a little slow, which is usually cured by a restart. (I have been told it's because of the logging all the chats).

I installed 10.5.3... The ap is so slow now... after a few minutes in a chat room, the letters type in interminably slow... one... at... a ... time...  
(Version 3.0b3.98855)

OSXI  Why does the chat window auto scroll back to the top (the first part of the conversation) after every entry? So I've got to manually scroll down every time I want to read what was just written...  
(Version 3.0b3.98855)

ECHOROB  When i enter a room via /join adelaide locals:1 i enter the room but no one in the room can see me. It's so fustrating. The adelaide rooms do not show up in the room list
