Current Version is 6.5.0

Thank you for installing CheetaChat. 

Please read the information below for a better experience if running it the first time, or upgrading from a older version.

If you are running Windows 95 you may need the Windows Sockets 2.0 Update. This can be downloaded from http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com

CheetaChat requires that any firewall in use be configured to allow CheetaChat to access the internet. This is absolutely necessary for file transfer and Yahoo! Chat support. 

If you use a SOCKS proxy, please set that up under preferences/connection before trying to log on to any server.

There is no support for Yahoo Messenger 5.5 Webcams. We are looking for financial support to implement the new JPEG2000 format. The toolkit that Yahoo used to build this support has a licensing fee of 7000 USD and higher.

There is no support for Yahoo! Audio Conferencing (Voice Chat). Yahoo does not allow third party clients to use voice chat.

Username support under Yahoo!'s DHTML or Messenger protocols does not have case-sensitivity support on account names. Use a nickname if you want to use a mixed case screen name. This is due to lack of support on Yahoo's Messenger servers of mixed case logons (and most usernames are actually in lowercase).

DHTML logins on Yahoo! Chat may require more than one try. If you get disconnected, click Chat/Log On and click Log On again. This will be resolved (hopefully) in a future release.
