Hi,

*The third said in the original email "No usage since August 2014 so no
need new DistID and DevID", which is clearly wrong. There's also that
"another libpurple" with distid 1502 which doesn't match any client we own,
and we don't know how you found that one.*
I can't explain but you did the right thing to use 1718 for Finch.


*Did the 1718 distid get invalidated? Can you re-enable it so that we don't
have to make another release?*
Please try again now and let me know, I correct a typo in the devID just
now.

Thanks,
