About BeAIM:
BeAIM is the best (OK, the only) AOL Instant Messenger client for the BeOS! It can do a whole lot of the stuff that AOL's clients can, and it's userfriendly too!
Latest Version
   
Details about this version:
All the important changes from 1.5.2 to 1.5.6:
  • First BeBits update in nearly three years. w00t.
  • As you may have noticed, maintainership has changed hands.
  • First, some old bugs, all brought to me by NathanW (via BeShare):
    • Parts of the "Get Info" window were created in the wrong order, causing display errors on Dano and its ilk.
    • A fencepost error in the HTML parsing code made the formatting go screwy.
  • The networking threads have been fixed to syncronise properly during logon.
  • Semi-real rate limiting, for the internal components. It's still possible for you to exceed the limit and get that nice message from the server.
  • Server-stored buddy lists!
  • Changed authentication mechanisms to the newer, MD5-based one. Otherwise, we can't support new features...
  • @mac.com screen name support. Both as a user and on the buddy list.
  • Typing notification. Will be made optional later.
  • Turkish and Italian translations added.
  • Information bubbles fixed for Dano and up.
There are many things planned for upcoming releases. Most of them are features, unless I get bug reports. I'm planning for a sort of weekend-long code-a-thon, because my ideas seem to come all at once.
