Download aMSN Messenger 0.94

A new version of aMSN (Alvaro’s Messenger) can be found on SourceForge. aMSN is a clone of MSN Messenger and is written in Tcl, allowing it to run on a wide range of operating systems. Version number 0.94 is currently only available as source code in the form of a tarball. The release date that is listed is November 11, so it is possible that the executables will come out then. The most important innovation in this version is the addition of plugins. By default, aMSN comes with two plugins. The first adds nudges (known from MSN 7.0), the second emotes. These are commands known from irc, such as /me. More plugins are on this one page to find. In addition to the plugins, the developers have concentrated on fixing bugs and improving stability.
