ICQ-Support in Leopard 10.5.1

Folks who have downloaded the iChatICQFix, that makes iChat work with ICQ, will notice that this fix works no longer with Version 10.5.1 of the OS. I fixed this, please go to the original article and download again.

The Inputmanager checks two things before applying the ICQ Fix for iChat:

• Is the correct Version of Leopard running? This value was set to the release version of Leopard only, every release number smaller or bigger wouldn’t work. I changed it now, because I don’t have anything OS-specific in there. Any release number greater than 10.5 should be ok from now on.

• Is the correct version of iChat running? This is hardcoded to Version 4.0. If Apple releases iChat 4.1 and this is still not fixed, I need to release an updated fix yet again. Obviously I do stuff that is specific to this exact iChat version, so I can’t support future versions before seeing them. Apple may – and hopefully will – change stuff in the code I override. If they don’t, you might have to come back, so bookmark this site, subscribe to my RSS feed and tell all your friends

  On another note, Chax for Leopard has reached Beta 2, and it fixes the ICQ problem, too. However, I didn’t yet try it out nor know if it works with 10.5.1.
