Re: Chat - protocols (2015-02-22 01:05 by t_mrc-ct #75556)
Thank you for using Tenfourbird.
Instantbird and Mozilla Thunderbird has been integrated into a single repository.
But Thunderbird support few chat protocols. That's because Instantbird is using libpurple to support a lot of chat protocols.
I will test Yahoo Messenger and Odnoklassniki support on next release.
Regards.

Hi

I just tried them on 31.7.0
Twitter seems fine (Never tried it before, on an IM client)
Yahoo seems fine. (A quick test)
However, the facebook and gtalk client still disconnect, making it unusable. (The result is gtalk is usually offline, while facebook reconnects, usually).
At present I shall remain on instantbird 1.3 (which has the added bonus of ICQ, for the one chat per year or so it gets used for :) )
