What's it all about, Alfie?

This morning I noticed that Adium 1.4.1 was out, and that's a major surprise. The blog post says what it's all about:

While the primary purpose of this update is to fix ICQ authentication[1][2]

[1] For those that are unaware, ICQ is no longer owned by AOL. The breakage that users may have experienced was due to the change-over to the new authentication servers. (login.oscar.aol.com – > login.icq.com)

[2] Users of Mac OS X 10.4 using Adium 1.3.10 can change their server setting to “login.icq.com” in the “Options” pane of their ICQ account’s settings.

I didn't know that ICQ had broken off of AOL, but so it goes. I was able to maintain the SSL connection to AOL even though the SSL connection to ICQ is now gone. Not bad, I guess.

It's nice to see the improvements.
