Adium 1.5.10, Yahoo!, and OS X 10.10 aren’t Happy
Turns out that Adium 1.5.10 and Yahoo! IM isn't happy with OS X 10.10 - it's saying that it can't connect to the Yahoo! IM server and erring out. Normally, this wouldn't be an issue for me, but I've got a few friends that I stay in touch with all the time, and because of their employer, two of them have been kinda off-limits to me for a while - but one finally found his way back to me through Yahoo! IM.
While I'm really loving the changes in OS X 10.10, sadly, with the update, the Yahoo! IM connection has failed to work. And it's not at all helpful in any way:
What I've read from the Adium blog is that there is a known fix - but there's a potential security concern, and I'm not at all sure why they are delaying releasing a patch for Yosemite... but they are.
So I'm out of touch with an old friend until I can get an update from Adium. This is one of the issues with Open Source - abandoned software. I'm sure the point is that I can pick it up and fix it, and I might be able to, but it's a pain, and it's something I've come to depend on. In that, I like paying for things.
