Well the Debian people wanted a new release that builds a shared library so here it is
Some minor changes in thread safety and some handling of the new IMVironment fields is also included
See the release notes at:
https://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?group_id=9687&release_id=49611
The big points are:
Nicer Authors lists
Real names (from the Yahoo! Address Book) are now associated with each yahoo_buddy struct
All RPMs SRPMSs tarballs and tarball signatures available for dl.
See the release notes in the download area for more info
After a long wait four new developers have joined the project and even more submitted lots and lots of patches we finally got around to making a new release.
HTTP only connection mode is the big news here.
This is released along with GtkYahoo 0.17.
Enjoy.
