Software Update: GAIM 0.63
It took a little longer than planned, but now GAIM 0.63 has been released by its makers. GAIM is a chat program available for Windows and Linux. The greatest strength of the software lies in its plugin-based structure: you can communicate with practically any chat program by downloading a small plugin. A lot of code has been rewritten in the new release, including the entire MSN plugin:
- A rewrite of the plugin API. Plugin authors will need to change their code based off the changes found in other plugins.
- Perl script support is now provided in the perl plugin.
- Debugging is core/ui split, and has a new API with support for debug levels and categories.
- Support for adding chats to your buddy list.
- MSN protocol plugin was rewritten, has experimental buddy icon support, and MSN Mobile support.
- Thanks to all the various people who submitted translation updates.
- Buddy list speed enhancements (Thanks Ethan Blanton).
- Napster protocol updates (Thanks Auke Kok).
