Adium 1.3.2 is out. As a big fan of being terse, you can take a look at the version history for the full set of changes.

Adium - Blog - Apple will discontinue the iPhone NDA

Wed, 01 Oct 2008 09:21:21 -0700

Apple will discontinue the iPhone NDA

Wed, 01 Oct 2008 09:14:41 -0700

Apple has announced on
its iPhone Developer Program page that they will drop the NDA covering the iPhone APIs. This means that we should, at some point, be able to start work on an iPhone version of Adium.

Some important points:

Apple has not dropped the NDA yet. The announcement says that Apple will distribute a new developer agreement “within a week or so”. Until they do, the NDA is still in effect.
We don’t yet know what the new developer agreement will say. It’s always possible that the new agreement will include some other clause that prevents open-source software. We won’t know until we see it.
An iPhone version of Adium will not happen immediately, nor soon. From the little public information that Apple released (and the many tidbits that iPhone developers leaked in defiance of the NDA), we know that the iPhone development interfaces are significantly different from those on the Mac. We will need to rewrite almost the entire application. The Adium for iPhone page has more information.

This is a long-overdue step by Apple, and we’re glad they’ve taken it. We look forward to one day writing and using the iPhone version of Adium.

Thank you, Apple.

Bizarre menu bug

I launched Adium and when opening the Status menu I was greeted by this bizarre sight. It was the only menu affected and stayed that way until I relaunched Adium.

Yahoo! disconnections and authorization errors

Mon, 22 Sep 2008 22:21:36 -0700

Updated 2008-09-23

We’ve now put out a beta of 1.3.2. This beta contains a new version of Libpurple that we believe fixes the Yahoo! disconnection problem. Please try it out and let us know on the Trac ticket whether it solves the problem for you.

The original post follows.

Four days ago, many of our users started getting disconnected from Yahoo! after several hours. The disconnection comes in the form of an authorization error, so Adium responds by presenting a password prompt:

This is not new in 1.3.1: We released 1.3.1 on September 7th, so it was working fine for nearly two weeks before the problems started. It’s not specific to Adium: Pidgin users are reporting the same problems. Our users are reporting that the official Yahoo! Messenger client does not get disconnected, so it seems to be a fault in Libpurple, the library that Pidgin and Adium both use.

Furthermore, we stress that Adium has not forgotten your password. As shown above, Adium fills in your old password. This is so that, if the error is spurious (as in this case), you can just hit OK. This is not a security risk, as you can’t cut or copy from the password field:

What can you do? Just hit OK. The periodic disconnections are a hassle, but you should still be able to chat.

Meanwhile, we and the Libpurple developers are still investigating the specific cause of the problem, so we know who needs to fix what.

What we need from you is information. Here are the things we already know:

You’ll get disconnected after about six to eight hours (sometimes more, sometimes less).
If you use the official Yahoo! Messenger, you won’t get disconnected.
If you use Pidgin, you will get disconnected.
If you use Finch, you will get disconnected.
It will ask for your password, even if you have it saved in the Keychain.
It does not forget your password. (You can tell because it’s filled in in the password prompt. If Adium had forgotten your password, it wouldn’t be filled in.)

We know that a lot of you are experiencing problems. Please don’t leave a comment just to say “me too”. We already know about the problem; its existence is not in question, so we don’t need more evidence that it exists.

Here are the things we do need to know:

Debug Window output. We have some, but more is always better.
Whether any other clients have the same problem. If you use a client that isn’t based on Libpurple, and either have or don’t have the problem in that client, we could really use that information. The Pidgin developers have a list of clients that use Libpurple.

Please do not post this information as a comment on this post—we will ignore it. Please post it on our ticket instead.

With your help, we hope to have this problem resolved soon.

Adium sighting: On top of Yankee StADIUM

Mon, 22 Sep 2008 20:19:32 -0700

On September 19th, workers on the new Yankee Stadium assembled the sign on top of it. And, fortunately for us, they worked from right to left.

Image source: MLB.com video: “The new Yankee Stadium letters are hoisted into place”. The New York Daily News has a photo from a slightly different angle. Thanks to Matthew Giarra for telling us about the scene, and to Steve Patterson for finding the video.

Why in iChat are three people online, but using Adium (the same account), two of those three people are listed as under mobile? Those two people aren't listed as mobile in iChat.
