"Here's a one liner to make gaim process YAHOO_SERVICE_CHATMSG packets,
which are the same as normal YAHOO_SERVICE_MESSAGE packets, although
they seem less featureful. The java client at chat.yahoo.com sends
these. It receives the normal ones that gaim sends back fine however.
Without this patch, IMs from the java yahoo chat client (possibly
others?) just get ignored, which is probably a BadThing(TM)."
I tend to agree that missing messages is a Bad Thing, and i know sean won't
look at this patch. He'll probly just reverse it because he probly won't
like it, but hopefully this way he might at least give some feedback, and
maybe it will even stay in and do gaim some good.

If you plan to use gaim CVS, PLEASE read this message in its entirety! Gaim is a fast-moving project with a regular release schedule. Due to the rate of gaim development, CVS undergoes frequent bursts of massive changes, often leaving behind brokenness and partial functionality while the responsible developers rewrite some portion of code or seek to add new features. What this all boils down to is that CVS _WILL_ sometimes be broken. Because of this, we ask that users who are not interested in personally tracking down bugs and fixing them (without a lot of assistance from the developers!) avoid CVS and use releases. Since releases will be made often, this should not prevent anyone from using the newest, shiniest features -- but it will prevent users from having to deal with ugly development bugs that we already know about but haven't gotten around to fixing. I you are interested in hacking on gaim, please read README and HACKING, and take note of the issues in PROGRAMMING_NOTES. (Note that they may be somewhat out of date at times.) Win32 developers, please read README.mingw. By far the best documentation, however, is the documented code. Not all parts of gaim have yet been documented, but the major subsystems are falling fast. If you have doxygen, you can use the Doxyfile in the toplevel directory to generate pretty documentation. Otherwise (or even if you do!), the header files for each subsystem contain documentation for the functions they contain. For instance, conversation.h contains documentation for the entire gaim_conversation_* API, and account.h contains documentation for the gaim_account_* API. If you have questions, please feel free to contact the gaim developers by email at gaim-devel@lists.sourceforge.net, on IRC at irc.freenode.net in #gaim, or via the sourceforge forums at http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/gaim. Please do as much homework as you can before contacting us; the more you know about your question, the faster and more effectively we can help you! Send patches to gaim-devel@lists.sourceforge.net or post them in the Sourceforge forums at http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/gaim.
