Description Michał Gawroński 2010-03-22 14:46:15 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.4.1)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

Kopete Gadu-Gadu plugin isnt compatabile with Nowe Gadu-Gadu protocol (Gadu-Gadu version 8-10). Please add patches from libgadu 1.9.0-rc or allow using external libgadu library to achieve this.

This is must-have feature for all gadu gadu users, because lack of it, Kopete doesnt allow reciving or sending, or even checking status of all users which have GG number longer than 17,000,000. Also it dont support new GG statuses (FFC and DND) and new, long status messages.

Kopete uses external libgadu in KDE 4 since r909144.  The minimum version is 1.8.0.
Comment 2 Michał Gawroński 2010-06-01 11:13:33 UTC 
It shouldnt be resolved. Maybe Kopete uses external GG, but still it isnt have support for all this features i wrote in my first post

Ive done some research. Changing only two constans in declaration of GG protocol version in Kopete, that it is GG8> capable, resolves some of this problems - i see peoples with newer GG numbers, i can contact them both ways, i also see full status messages.
Ive not encountered any bugs, but they are possible, because GG8> sends messages in different encoding (but as i said, everything worked for me without any bug), so someone more experienced should look at this. 

Unfortunatelly i couldnt patch Kopete to use new statuses, ive added new status types everywhere i could find status type declarations in GG plugin, still i cannot see or set new status types.

Also not sending/not reciving messages problem is still issue with Kopete and GG support
