Adium and Yahoo problems after server change

For the most part Adium works however at work we use FACETIME proxy  
server and it turns out that after the SSL change and the libpurple  
change all our linux and mac based clients are unable to use the SSL  
handshake needed to authenticate with yahoo's server. I'm told because  
of some incompatibility with the FACETIME server. In our teams case  
everybody has stopped using Yahoo and now reluctantly uses Sametime in  
Lotus Notes.

Does anybody know why Yahoo made this change? Was it specifically to  
lock out  Pidgn and Adium from their servers? Clearly that didn't work  
since when you're not behind a proxy things work fine.

Is there anybody else who has found that Adium not longer works with  
Yahoo when they are behind a proxy?
