Hello everyone,

I noticed that the Facebook protocol has been marked as deprecated and has been migrated to Dummy. I would like to ask whether this means that support for Facebook will be completely discontinued, or if there are plans to introduce a new solution or alternative integration in the future.

Any clarification or insights into the roadmap would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Until there is an open source implementation of their new protocol, there will be no support in Miranda.

Thank you for the clarification.
From a technical perspective, is it still possible to develop such a protocol implementation independently, or is integration now only feasible through an official API? If the latter is the case, that would of course significantly limit the options.
It would be great if someone from the community were willing to attempt a complete reimplementation of the plugin from scratch, should that still be technically viable.
Unfortunately, this change means that Miranda has become unusable for me for the time being. Still, who knows—perhaps Facebook support will return in the future.
Thank you for your work and for taking the time to respond.
