Yahoo Protocol 15 Login

[Sulabh Mahajan]

I will be finalizing my GSoC work next week, then start looking into the new
login procedure.
I cant really say how long it will take.

>> Hi,
>>
>> Pidgin 2.4.2 client implements Yahoo Protocol Version 15 (Yahoo 8.1.0.402
>> client). However the login protocol used by Pidigin is different than that
>> used by Yahoo 8.1 clients. Pidgin 2.4.2 seem to be using older login
>> protocol.
>>
>> Please correct me if it is not the case.
>>
>> Further i would like to know that is there some work currently being done
>> to implement/support the newer login protocol of for Yahoo?
>>
>> Also the newer Yahoo 9 version (which is still in beta) has different
>> login sequence in comparison to even the Yahoo 8 (version 15).
