Good and bad news

I've got some important news for you. Let's start with the bad ones:
I decided to stop working on YAM because I don't have the time any more to develop it further, and my interests have shifted to other things.

And now for the good news: YAM goes Open Source! All interested programmers will get the source code of YAM for free. During the next few days I will clean up the source and add some comments. In about one week a final version of "my" YAM will be published (just some small bug fixes). Then the source code of that version will be released at the YAM web site. E-mail support for YAM upto version 2.2 will be continued, of course.

If new versions of YAM become available (for AmigaOS or other operating systems), I'll put them on the YAM web site.

More news soon... stay tuned!

YAM goes Open Source : Comment 12 of 12ANN.lu

In reply to Comment 11 (CCRider):
Doug released an update to StrICQ a few days ago which addressed some of the ICQ2000 problems.
That said, its done EXACTLY why Alan Buxley was just talking about for YAM, and has forked. There is 0.1732 with Locale, one or two other tweaks to the GUI etc, and a 0.1728 (iirc) which is Dougs new release with the ICQ2k fixes. This is a right pain, and as a few others have said, if the same happens to YAM it'll be the end of it as it'll fragment too much.
Best Regards.
