Software Update: GAIM 0.63

Spread the love

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).
