I did use it, but it allready was buggy without qt-3.1 There is one bug that I |
20 |
reported at least 5 months ago including a fix that involved reading messages |
21 |
send by the yabber icq conduit. It is still not fixed in cvs. I believe this |
22 |
project is dead. In the mean time I switched, as kxicq is basically dead. It |
23 |
does have one usefull feature though in being able to use server based friend |
24 |
lists. |
