Bug #60991 for Net-OSCAR: "We're no longer supporting the version of AIM you are using"

Subject:

"We're no longer supporting the version of AIM you are using"

Beginning this morning, immediately following signon to the AIM service, the following message is sent: "We're no longer supporting the version of AIM you are using. In order to continue using AIM you will need to upgrade now. We apologize for any inconvenience. Don't worry, the upgrade process is quick and painless - we promise." Is there a work-around for this, or do we need to wait for an updated build?

A very kind gentleman sent me the below fix, which he says he's forwarded to the maintainer to get it in a future build: ########## I made it work by changing the Net::OSCAR::Common.pm file (mine was in /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/Net/OSCAR/Common.pm). from this: use constant OSCAR_SVC_AIM => ( host => 'login.oscar.aol.com', port => 5190, supermajor => 0x0109, major => 5, minor => 5, subminor => 0, build => 0x0E0B, subbuild => 0x00000104, clistr => "AOL Instant Messenger, version 5.5.3595/WIN32", hashlogin => 0, betainfo => "", ); to this use constant OSCAR_SVC_AIM => ( host => 'login.oscar.aol.com', port => 5190, supermajor => 0x0109, major => 5, minor => 9, subminor => 0, build => 0x0e76, subbuild => 0x00000111, clistr => "AOL Instant Messenger, version 5.9.3702/WIN32", hashlogin => 0, betainfo => "", ); ##########
