I'm not a developer but just watching this thread with interest. Lets not spam this thread and let the developers get on with it :)

Even developers need some encouragement too.

WhatsApp will have a new mechanism (DIGEST-MD5-2) to be used in the login process.
The new mechanism will depend on a challenge string to generate a response and send it to the server for authorization.
I think the current procedure which was mentioned earlier will be deprecated soon.
I tried to decompile the latest copy of android's version to identify the challenge string but it's obfuscated.

Re: [WIP] Porting Whatsapp to Meego/Maemo (N9, N900)

LINE (http://line.naver.jp/en/) is another cross platform messenger just like Whatsapp. It also have voice call over data network like Viber. And it's free (not like Whatsapp, it's free for first year and then charges US$0.99/year). So in my area my friends usually have both Whatsapp and LINE and that make the switch between them very easily (not like ebuddy XMS that almost none of my friends are in).

Lately LINE claim that they will provide PC/browser version really soon. I think this is good as it can be accessed at least from browser for the devices (e.g. N9) that are not supported by the nice company (e.g. Whatsapp company) (and maybe it can be integrated into extraplugsin from PC version just same as MSN and ICQ?? my greedy hope :p)

In my area LINE is quite a strong competitor to Whatsapp and I hope this move from LINE could help "pushing" Whatsapp to do the same thing. Or the PC/browser version of LINE could help providing more ideas of how to port Whatsapp to non-support device (again N9 for example).

As for communication with the server, XML stanzas are binary encoded before being sent, and received data are decoded into XML stanzas.

Right now it's only a matter of completing the UI. And I think this will be real soon ;)

last i heard it was only the matter of compiling been checking this thread every day i really hope to see the result of the progress :)
