Oscar Oddities, CVS Circumvents

June 5th, 2001 - 9:56AM PST

So a couple days ago Oscar started getting blocked as soon as you tried to sign on; you'd probably see the buddy list flash momentarily and then get "Disconnected". We've got a fix that we're fairly sure works and doesn't break anything else (prior fixes ranged from not solving the problem entirely to breaking chat). So, we're recommending people who want to use Oscar use CVS or the CVS Nightlies (which come complete with ./configure like a normal release). And we're still recommending people use Oscar instead of TOC (especially since TOC seems to have been somewhat flaky over the last few days as well).
