Yahoo! has released an update for Messenger for Mac 3.0. It is the latest release and includes several bug fixes. Some of these issues were stealth settings, file transfer, mobile settings, and windows live issues. I have included the original post from the Yahoo! Messenger Team
I have previously posted about allowing smileys in the new Yahoo! Messenger 9 status messages. Which in my opinion is pretty damn cool. Yahoo! has come out again with another update regarding status messages. This time they have created a new interface for inputting your status messages along with hyperlinks.
The Yahoo! messenger team has released an update for Yahoo! Messenger for Windows Vista. The primary focus in this update is bug and crash fixes along with some enhancements to the user interface in hopes to make it a little more intuitive. Changes were made to text formatting, voice improvements and they are still working on webcam support.
Here are a few quotes from the original posting:

It has recently been advised not to download or even visit ytunnelpro.com , Keys are being disabled as users buy them and ip addresses from over 1.9 billion users are being banned from the YTunnelPro website. I even had threats sent to my publicly in my pm box by digital.asphyxia aka Chet Simpson accusing me of ddosing his website.
I contacted my ISP regarding Mr Simpson and YTunnelPro as he was threatening to take legal action against me. As weeks and months went by my keys were disabled one after another leaving me with no other option to post this.

In a message posted yesterday on the official Yahoo! Messenger Blog it appears that the maintenance update for the messenger servers is now complete. From what I gathered from the original post is that they were just switching servers out of an old data center and into the new data center.
I dont think that the new data center is really all that new at all. I remember these *mud* servers being around for a while. Well at least back when we were hunting for new Yahoo! servers, I remember coming across them. Maybe they have been upgraded, which would be nice. Hopefully this update will cut back on connection problems and server resets.
Posted below is the original message from Melissa Daniels who apparently is the Yahoo! Messenger Community Manager. I haven’t seen a post from her before. Maybe that means we will be seeing more posts from the Yahoo! Messenger team.
Sarah Bacon from the Yahoo! Messenger team made a blog post concerning potential service interruptions. I have included a part from her original post concerning the downtime and possible problems.
We have scheduled some maintenance to Yahoo! Messenger starting at 5pm Pacific time on June 5. We anticipate that this maintenance will be complete by 9pm Pacific time that same evening.
During the maintenance period, some Yahoo! Messenger users, especially those on version 8.0 or earlier, may be logged out of the product unexpectedly. If this does occur, you should be able to log back in immediately. In addition, users on older versions may have trouble using certain features like file transfer, mobile IM and display images.
