Problem with Gadu Gadu protocol

2010-01-28 Thread Emil Sekula
Hello,

I have some problem with Gadu Gadu protocol. There is a new version of
this communicator and there are some problems lately with it. When I
try to send message to somebody I have error message:

" The username 'number' tried to connect with you. Unfortunately you
are using the old version of communicator that don't operate with
numbers larger than 17 millions. Please, update your communicator and
chat freely."

This problem is mentioned here: http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/11039

Do you plan to resolve it ?

Regards,
Emil Sekula

What do you mean by "you".  There is no corporate body called Pidgin 
Support that makes policy on such things.  Like most open source 
projects something will get done when some individual thinks it 
important and useful to do so, and has the time to do it.  If you have 
the right skills, it could even be you.


Where can one find public documentation of the latest protocol, 
preferably in English?


The Wikipedia article, and some others, seems to suggest the protocol is 
proprietary (maybe even secret) and that any documentation that exists 
is likely to be in Polish.  It may well be that the protocol has to be 
re-reverse engineered before anything can be done.

Did you read the reply sent to the mailing list after your first post?
You do understand that this is a mailing list and that replies go there
and you need to be subscribed to the list to get them? I've copied you
as a courtesy as I think that otherwise you won't see this. Please do
not reply to me, reply only to the list address that you used before.

The fact is Gadu-Gadu is difficult to support and is dependent on
effort and information that is not easily available to the Pidgin
developers. Please read the original reply in the list archive for more
information.

Yes, it is, but your replies suggested that you were not seeing all the
list mail.

The problem is that Pidgin has many developers, some of whom have now
stopped contributing. If the person who reverse engineered Gadu-Gadu is
no longer actively working on Pidgin then that protocol gradually
becomes stale. I have not seen any other reports of problems with it so
it could be that few people use it for that purpose.

Eventually the protocol will be removed if it ceases to work and no one
can be found to update it to work with newer releases of Gadu-Gadu.
That could take some considerable time to happen.
