Gaim 0.69 Is Out With Protocol Fixes.
hey,
your faster than their homepage 
does the update in the protocol support for MSN mean we won't get those annoying messages from Bill now?

Yup! I was getting the same messages on Trillian until they updated to MSNprotocol 9, now it's ALL good.
heh, the reason why is because this morning I couldn't connect to Yahoo, then I remembered the annoying Yahoo messages (like the MSN ones) that I've been getting lately so I went in my search for the cure, though of compiling GAIM from cvs but then I saw the new version in sourceforge
