Yahoo! Messenger with Voice 8.0.506 Beta


Recommended Posts

Personally I don't get ads in the main messenger list with either 7.5 or 8.0.

Keep in mind about this new version, that it's extremely buggy as hell (as most Yahoo builds are). I've allready found several bugs, 1 with the iTunes plugin that can crash Yahoo without notice.

Its too early to judge as it is in beta but i dont like that it is showing my actual name on the messenger from account settings rather than my nick. Big no for privacy while chatting.

you can always use Microsoft paint and cover up your name/ yahoo ID and just click the Triangle for the contatcs so they wont show

Yes i can always do that but let me clear what i said.

What i meant was that when i chat with people, in the chat window, it shows my Real name from Yahoo's Account Profile rather than the nick name (or the account ID) as it should. That's not nice because if a stranger initiates chat with me, he gets my real name! The RED blocks in the follow screenshots is where it shows the real name. Not nice. It should show Yahoo ID. I guess they are trying to be efficient but no thanks, let me choose who i share my name with.

Is there just an update for US users or is there an update for UK etc users aswell?

Alright so it's cool, and I'm using it even though I have no one on my list.... But the only thing that bugs me is the excessive amounts of RAM the thing uses. Right off the bat, with no windows open, sitting in tray it's taking up over 40mb of RAM. Not even Windows Live Messenger takes up that much space... How hard is it to optimize the messenger Yahoo? I've been complaining about the usage for years.

Another thing, the iTunes plugin automatically opens iTunes and then doesn't let you close it until you disable the plugin. Ugh, waste... Nonetheless, still interesting.

Personally, I rather them fix the nickname bug. And the bugs people experence with display pictures.

Although, with the iTunes plugin, I don't like the purple skin it has.

you can change it to a blue skin or clasic skin < the clasic skin uses your OS GUI as it's look>

    • I have disabled it, but the app is still taking space. I have a Mac and it is only possible to disable Ai on that, but I think that bit does get rid of the AI components after a while. What we are told is that we agree to all this when we use the devices as it is in the end user agreements, their software, they can do what they like. I doubt that any bill will happen in the U.S, the government there are in league with big tech firms. The E.U maybe, they seem to have some guts when it comes to tech companies. The U.K is not in the E.U, but some things still affect us. Our government is as gutless when it comes to tech companies as the U.s government.

A major compiler is used for both x86/x64 and WoA64 architectures. This also means that all core libraries are re-compiled accordingly which required some changes in the build scripts. One of the core libraries (cURL) has been updated to address vulnerabilities and a nasty linker error that was causing the need for a dedicated patch which could now be eliminated.
