Update Information:

This update fixes the CVE-2008-1467 security issue by disabling the "actions"
configuration altogether. Furthermore the default web browser is no longer
configurable in CenterIM. The links get open in the default web browser
configured, using xdg-utils.    This release adds support for new versions of
Yahoo IM protocol. Unless you apply this update, you won't be able to use Yahoo
IM after April 2nd 2008.    Please note:    To avoid compatibility and
confidentiality problems with an undocumented protocol transported unencrypted
over third-party controlled network, all users of Yahoo IM protocol are
encouraged to switch to open and free alternatives, such as XMPP used in Jabber
network.
